Introduction
This business has been running as a successful salon for over 40 years. They have had the business for a little over three years, and the previous owner had it for 30 years.
When they took over there was mainly an older client base, and although those ladies have stayed on, they have also managed to bring in some younger and middle aged clients, also there is now clients wanting nails and waxing done. The majority of the clients have been coming for many years and are very loyal to the business, and treated right, will surely stay on to see it grow further. The clients will usually book their next appointments in advance; this strategy will provide you with a steady booking schedule.
The area is lovely and just a short walk to the beach which makes it a little more popular in summer due to the walk by traffic. The parking is excellent. The clients never have a problem finding a park even on busy days. There is a bus stop right out the front of the salon which quite a few of the clients utilize.
The business has a wonderful base of loyal clients, they took the business on as a part time salon as they both had other commitments, but there is potential to be a full time salon with a little advertising and more time to offer. This business is the only salon on that paticular street, there is another nail & waxing salon, and also a tanning salon, but with everything offered in one place, why would clients go somewhere else. You will win them over with convenience.
This business has the potential to be a really modern and fast paced salon. With a little face lift and a little money spent on promoting yourself, the salon could become a fantastic, fun environment that people will want to be a part of. The clients want something fun and fresh. The ability to offer those extra services will bring in that extra business the place has been missing.
They have been promoting the business by advertising in the local neighbourhood watch, and have also recently promoted the business in the Christies Beach Curves. Each member gets a small white board magnet to place on their fridge and four businesses were chosen to be advertised along the top of the board. They are the only salon on there. The business also advertises in the local Onkaparinga phone book, as well as yellow pages.
