About this business

Company Overview: This full-service hair salon was established in 1986 and serves a broad regional customer base in North Texas and nearby communities. The business has built its name over several decades by offering steady service quality, a trained staff, and a clear focus on repeat client care. It operates from a leased retail location and serves clients from its core local market as well as a wider drive-in area. The business is not remote, but it is listed as relocatable with proper planning.

Product & Customer Base: The company earns most of its service revenue from hair color and hair cutting, with each making up about half of service sales. It also offers a small mix of other salon services and sells professional hair care, styling, and finishing products, including a private-label line. Customers come through paid media, online search, referrals, and word of mouth. The customer base is well spread out, with the top five customers making up only a small share of revenue. Client retention is reported in the mid-70% range, and a large share of clients are subscribed to email updates.

Operations & Team: Day-to-day work is built around appointment scheduling, front desk flow, service delivery, client records, and staff management. The business uses documented policies, employee handbooks, service steps, training systems, and customer history files, including color and service notes that help staff deliver repeat service with less disruption. The salon provides the products needed to perform menu services, which supports steady quality. The team includes several highly trained stylists and color specialists. Staff turnover is low for the industry, though recruiting and training new staff can take 18 to 24 months. The owner works about 25 to 35 hours per week and focuses on management, planning, team leadership, customer relations, pricing discipline, and staff reviews. A buyer should be strong with people, communication, basic business controls, and team accountability.

Growth: The business has a long record of steady growth and durable local demand, supported by repeat clients, long staff tenure, and a steady flow of new customers. Recent new customer activity has been healthy, while low customer concentration helps reduce risk. Growth options include extending hours, using split shifts, improving new-client retention, building email and online marketing, adding pricing discipline, expanding retail product sales, and testing a hybrid staff model with both employee and contractor options. These moves could help the business adapt to changing labor trends while using its existing systems and client base.

Transition: The owner is selling to retire and step away from ownership after several decades in the business. They are willing to support a buyer for up to 12 months. Support can include introductions to stylists, help with front desk and scheduling processes, service workflow training, review of policies and procedures, employee evaluation handoff, and general operating support. This planned handover should help a new owner protect client trust, staff continuity, and daily service quality during the change in ownership.
