SOLD - B Beauty Lounge, Hipperholme, Halifax

BEAUTY SALON in Halifax

This is, without doubt, one of the best beauty salons seen by this office in quite some time. Fitted and equipped to the very highest of standards and really must be seen to be fully appreciated. The business is professionally run, predominantly by staff and achieves an impressive turnover but could easily, in our opinion take substantially more with a full time working owner.

The premises are held on lease with sensible rent and briefly comprise reception with three nail stations, twin pedicure booth, WC off, lash lounge / double massage therapy room, staff kitchen. The first floor offers spray tan room, two treatment rooms and an aesthetic treatment room which is currently ‘chair rented’ to a qualified aesthetic practitioner, returning £200 per calendar month.
