Award-Winning Independent Hair Salon In Swiss Cottage For Sale

North West London, London, UK
Asking Price:
£475,000 Furniture / Fixtures and Inventory / Stock included
Turnover:
£314,762
Net Profit:
£27,045

This is a profitable, award-winning independent hair salon in a prime North London location, with excellent transport links.

Set across two floors, the salon offers exceptional space and flexibility. The ground floor is home to the main styling area, while the spacious lower ground floor includes 2 dedicated beauty rooms, 2 bathrooms, a kitchen and a storage/utility room — plus additional room ready for further styling stations or beauty chairs, making it easy to expand the service offering.

The business turned over £314,762 in 2025 with a net profit of £27,045, and has delivered consistent revenue of over £300,000 in recent years. It occupies a fully refurbished 1,500 sq ft premises held on a long lease expiring September 2031.

Over £300,000 has been invested in a complete refit, modern rebranding and the latest professional equipment, including 8 styling stations on the ground floor (plus 2 on the lower ground floor), premium Olymp chairs and backwash units, salon-grade LED lighting, air conditioning and a full client experience setup.

Highlights include:

- An exceptional reputation: 270+ Google reviews at 4.8, Treatwell Top Salon awards every year from 2020 to 2023 before moving to Fresha where we now have almost 2,000 Fresha reviews at 4.9.

- An experienced, loyal team of 5 talented stylists, 3 assistants and a dedicated business manager — the salon effectively runs itself through in-house management.

- A loyal, high-value clientele of young professionals and families: An 80%+ monthly retention rate in 2025 and an average transaction value of £94.

- Additional income from on-site freelance beauty services (approximately £1,500 per month).

- A genuine brand asset — the business is a registered, independent brand built with future expansion in mind, ideal to grow in its own right or merge with a complementary concept.

There is significant room to grow: the salon has never run any marketing, PR, advertising or social media campaigns — all clients have come through word of mouth and online reviews — and the premises and equipment have the capacity to serve up more than twice the current number of clients.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a well-established, financially healthy and beautifully fitted salon with a strong team, loyal client base and a brand ready to scale.

Property Information

Property:

Leasehold

Leasehold Rent:

£45,000 per annum

Location:

Prime location in Swiss Cottage, North West London. The salon sits on a busy high street parade just a 3-minute walk from both Swiss Cottage and Finchley Road Underground stations, nestled between the affluent residential areas of Hampstead and West Hampstead. The catchment is NW3 and NW6, serving an established client base of young professionals and high-income families. This sought-after location offers excellent footfall, strong public transport links and a loyal local clientele.

Premises Details:

Approximately 1,500 sq ft over ground and lower ground floors (including stair landing). Held on a 15-year lease expiring 20 September 2031, with Camden Council as freeholder, who are usually very cordial to renewals.

Business Operation

Management type:
This business has absentee ownership.
Expansion Potential:

Significant headroom for growth. The business has not yet undertaken any marketing, PR, advertising or social media promotion - all clients to date have come through word of mouth and online reviews - so a structured marketing campaign offers clear scope to grow client numbers. The premises and equipment have the capacity to serve more than twice the current client base. The brand was deliberately created to be scalable, allowing an investor to open further Care.Salon branches or merge it with a complementary concept. There is also room to expand the beauty/aesthetics service offering on the lower ground floor and to build further brand equity as the brand execution matures.

Competition / Market:

The salon enjoys a strong competitive position in the local area, differentiated by its established brand, award-winning reputation (Treatwell Top Salon 2020–2023 - before moving to Fresha where we are rated 4.9) and exceptional client loyalty (80%+ retention). Nearby competitors serve different segments of the market: one higher-priced salon focuses on fashion and keratin treatments with a high rotation of freelance stylists; another is a smaller salon offering basic services at cheaper prices; and a third is a ladies-only salon targeting a different, lower-priced market. Care.Salon stands out on quality, consistency, its experienced long-standing team and its "we embrace you as family" brand ethos, which underpins its loyal clientele.

Reasons for selling:

I will be spending significantly less time in London over the coming years as I focus on a new business venture, so I am no longer able to give the salon the day-to-day attention it deserves. The salon is profitable, well-run by an in-house management team and in great shape, so this is not a distressed sale - I simply want to pass it into the hands of a company or investor who can be fully dedicated to safeguarding its high standards and continuing to grow the business and its wonderful team. Care.Salon is more than a salon; it is a carefully crafted brand that can be built upon in its own right or merged with a similar concept, and I want to see it reach its full potential under the right new owner.

Other Information

Support & training:

The salon benefits from a strong in-house management team, meaning it effectively runs itself day to day. Our experienced Business Manager, Shanna, has run the salon since January 2023 and will remain in place for a period to ensure a smooth, seamless transition for the new owners. Our long-serving floor supervisor and master stylist, Jarek, oversees staff training and development plans, supporting continuity across the team. The owner is also happy to provide a handover period and to advise on how the Care.Salon brand ethos translates across operations, including marketing strategy and social media. With established systems (Fresha booking and payments, fully electronic compliance and accounts), the business is well set up for a new owner to step in with minimal disruption.
