Long Established Hair Salon, Oldland Common, Bristol

Overview

Just Kim Hairdressing presents a rare chance to acquire a genuinely long-established High Street hair salon in Oldland Common, Bristol. Trading for approximately 35 years under the current owner, the salon has become a trusted local fixture with substantial goodwill and a loyal, repeat clientele built up over more than three decades.

The business is offered for sale as a going concern due to the owner's retirement. With an experienced, employed team in place, a fully fitted salon and a landlord (the retiring owner) ready to grant a lease on the premises, this is a turnkey-style opportunity for a stylist ready to run their own salon, or an operator looking to add a well-rooted site.

An unusual bonus is the self-contained beauty space to the rear of the premises, which is available to rent in addition, giving the buyer a ready-made route into complementary beauty services.

Business Highlights

- Established for approximately 35 years on the High Street
- Turnover approximately £80,000 per annum
- 2 employed, qualified stylists (1 full-time, 1 part-time)
- Long-serving full-time stylist who has been with the business since the start
- Fitted with 5 workstations and 2 backwash units
- Loyal, repeat client base built over decades
- Adjoining self-contained beauty space available to rent for expansion
- Genuine retirement sale

The Business

Just Kim Hairdressing operates purely as a hair salon, serving a loyal client base with the owner supported by two employed staff, both very qualified stylists. Uncommonly for the industry, the team is employed rather than self-employed, giving an incoming owner stability and continuity through the handover. The full-time stylist operates in a manager-type role and has been with the business since the start, so clients' relationships extend well beyond the owner personally.

Trade is won through reputation, word of mouth and repeat custom accumulated over approximately 35 years, supported by a Facebook page as the salon's online presence. The consistency of the team and the salon's long tenure at the same address underpin client retention through a sale.

Location

The salon trades from a prominent High Street position in Oldland Common, Bristol, an area where businesses are consistently in demand. Its long, unbroken trading history at the same location has made it a familiar destination for local clients.

Premises & Tenure

The salon is a fitted High Street unit with 2 backwash units and 5 styling workstations, offering capacity for the current team with room to grow. To the rear is a self-contained beauty area with 2 treatment rooms, a reception area, a toilet and a stand-up sunbed, available to rent in addition if desired. The business is offered on a leasehold basis, with the retiring owner retaining the freehold and granting a lease to the buyer.

Financial Overview

Headline trading figures, as provided by the owner:

- Turnover: approximately £80,000 per annum
- Net profit: approximately £8,000 per annum
- Owner personal costs of approximately £2,400 per annum identified as a potential add-back

Figures are owner-provided and will be verified from trading records during the sale process.

Growth Potential

There are clear, practical routes to build on the established trade:

- Rent the adjoining beauty space and add beauty services alongside hairdressing, a natural pairing for existing clients
- Develop a website and online booking, building on the existing Facebook page
- Add stylists or chair renters across the spare workstation capacity
- Rebuild trade towards pre-COVID levels, with the owner noting headroom for an energetic new operator

Reason for Sale

The sale is due to the genuine retirement of the owner after approximately 35 years. The owner retains the property and will act as landlord to the buyer.

Next Steps

This is an accessible, well-established opportunity with continuity built in through its employed team and supportive landlord. Early enquiries are encouraged. Full details are available in the Information Memorandum.
