Award-Winning Bay Area Hair Studio: Loyal Clients, High Profit Margins
Business Description
Reviewing all offers by the 9/28 deadline.
This award-winning hair salon is one of the most respected salons in the Bay Area, repeatedly named Best Hair Salon by multiple outlets, and backed by 5-star reviews on Yelp and Google. Known for its expert team, elevated client experience, and word-of-mouth-powered growth, this business is a rare opportunity to acquire a profitable, fully established salon with untapped upside.
Founded in 2016, the business operates with a lean, stable team of long-tenured stylists, many of whom have been with the business for 4+ years. The business continues to grow year over year - even without paid advertising. It offers a full suite of high-demand services, including haircuts, color, blowouts, and hair extensions, all delivered by a loyal, highly educated team of stylists. While the studio consistently operates at near capacity, it still runs on a lean schedule: open just 5 days a week with multiple stylists working part-time, and no new hires in the last 4 years (strong retention). With even modest adjustment (additional days, stylists, or front desk support), the business could pull 7-figure revenue.
Built on values, not just volume, this salon has cultivated a reputation for professionalism, warmth, and excellence: A culture that retains both stylists and clients long term. The team is supportive and self-sufficient, allowing the new owner to step in smoothly and lead from day one. With no debt and scalable infrastructure, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a turnkey, prestige-positioned salon with substantial room for growth.
Highlights:
- Consistent Profitability & Clean Financials: Consistent revenues, no overdue accounts, and zero reliance on financing.
- Debt-Free: No loans, no liens, no outstanding liabilities
- Award-Winning Reputation: Named Best Salon in both Bay Area and East Bay, beating out larger, multi-location competitors. Also has organic top-ranking visibility in local search, standing above competitors in both client satisfaction and operational efficiency.
- Loyal, Long-Tenured Team: Highly educated stylists with 4–7 years at the salon, specializing in both cut and color.
- Strong Client Base With High Retention: 4,700+ total guests in database, 1,600+ seen in last 6 months
- Consistent Demand: repeat bookings and minimal cancellations.
- Zero Advertising Until 2024: Growth to date has been entirely organic, driven by referrals, Yelp, Google, and Instagram. Paid advertising was only added this month for the first time.
- Strong Culture & Systems: Includes a 40-page salon handbook, annual education stipend per stylist, health benefits, SIMPLE IRA, PTO, and a drama-free work environment.
- Prime Location: Desirable lease in high-traffic spot of Bay Area
- Turnkey Operations: SOPs in place, stylists manage themselves day-to-day
Strong Financials: Steady YOY growth with high client retention and price increases underway
Expansion Potential: Add 1–2 stylists and open 1–2 more days per week to easily cross $1M in revenue. Add retail haircare, branded education, or a second location for further upside.
Full Data Room will be provided after signed NDA.
