The salon provides its services for a long-standing and still-expanding repeat and referral client base of both sexes drawn from throughout a wide surrounding catchment area, with a significant volume of year-round ‘walk in’ trade generated by its prime High Street position.

“High-Lites” also conducts a highly complementary sales operation of an exclusive range of market- leading hair care products and would naturally furnish any enthusiastic purchaser with considerable scope for continued growth, not least with regard to possible expansion into other areas of the highly diverse hair and beauty services and retail market, possible investment in additional employed for self-employed staff and to operating hugely extended salon hours in order to exploit the full potential capacity of its facilities.

The business would also benefit greatly by adopting a far more vigorous marketing policy of its excellent existing services, particularly with reference to the possible introduction of online advertising and appointment booking and to further development of its social media presence, in order to improve upon the already high levels of turnover it has achieved since being established in its present form in 2003 by the current proprietor, with the aid of a small, experienced and motivated team of one full-time and one part-time staff who would be an asset to any purchaser, and we would strongly recommend the earliest possible viewing to avoid disappointment.
