Location
This well established Hair Salon is located on the edge of the historic market town of Retford, Nottinghamshire. Also known as East Retford, it is one of the oldest market towns in England, having been granted its first charter in 1105.
The town is a thriving shopping destination, featuring a mix of national retailers, independent shops, and a strong presence of commercial businesses on the outskirts, all generating high levels of footfall.
Retford also benefits from excellent transport links, with easy access to Worksop (9 miles), Doncaster (18 miles), Sheffield city centre (30 miles), Nottingham city centre (33 miles), and the surrounding villages.

Business Description
Veritas Business Sales are privileged to present this exceptional opportunity to acquire a profitable hair salon located on the edge of Retford, Nottinghamshire.
The business was originally established in 2010 by the current owner, who brought more than 20 years of hairdressing expertise to the venture. In 2018, she made the bold decision to relocate from the town centre to a light industrial area, investing over £80,000 to completely transform the new premises into the stylish, well-zoned salon that you see today. The move has proven highly successful and popular with clients, who value the easy access with free parking. After building a loyal clientele and operating the salon successfully for more than a decade, the owner is offering the business for sale to enjoy an early retirement and spend quality time with her family.
The layout has been carefully designed to maximise both function and style. The ground floor offers a dedicated salon and reception area with seamless, stair-free access for mobility-impaired clients, alongside spacious styling and waiting areas. Beyond the reception hallway are three additional rooms which are not currently in use, offering excellent scope for conversion into treatment rooms, private studios, or other revenue-generating spaces. Upstairs, the mezzanine level provides open workstations, and a mezzanine overlook, blending functionality with a premium, light-filled atmosphere, complemented by a large staff room. No expense has been spared, and all equipment is included in the sale price, meaning the new owners will face no immediate investment costs.
The salon is owner operated, with the proprietor actively managing the business while serving her own loyal clients. A key strength is the efficient chair-rental model, with two long-standing stylists providing steady, predictable income without payroll or employment liabilities. With eight chairs in total, there is ample scope to boost revenue by renting out the remaining chairs. In addition, all product sales flow directly to the business, maximising retail profits and overall margins. For the year ending 2024, the business achieved a net profit of £42,000.
We believe there is potential to increase revenue by increasing chair rentals, introducing beauty & aesthetics services or renting out the unused rooms, and expanding on the already successful social media activity. This is a superb opportunity to acquire a turnkey business where all the hard work has been done and is a great base to build upon, as such an early viewing is highly recommended.
