The subject premises occupy an outstanding and highly visible trading position among other independent operators in the busy heart of the vibrant and historic riverside tourist market town and former Burgh of Newton Stewart, which lies at the junction of the A712, A714 and main A75, in a delightful semi-rural area of Dumfries and Galloway in southwest Scotland.

We are delighted to present this outstanding opportunity to acquire a thriving commercial proposition of real quality and uncommon further potential, which we are confident you will agree represents genuine value.

This very well established and highly regarded salon is currently primarily equipped to high industry specifications to undertake a virtually ‘one stop’ range of professional and highly creative, traditional and contemporary hair design, styling, colouring and straightening services for both sexes of all ages, and is particularly renowned for its bespoke services for weddings and other special occasions.

“Hairdressing by Vanessa” provides its services for a long-standing and still-expanding repeat and referral client base drawn from throughout a wide surrounding catchment area, with a significant volume of year-round ‘walk in’ trade generated by its prime town centre position, and would naturally furnish any enthusiastic purchaser with considerable scope for continued growth, not least with regard to possible investment in additional employed or 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 1993 by the current proprietor, with the aid of just one experienced and motivated full-time assistant who would be an asset to any purchaser, and we would strongly recommend the earliest possible viewing to avoid disappointment.

Fitted to high industry specifications throughout, these well maintained leasehold commercial premises provide excellent and highly functional internal business accommodation, which briefly comprises an inviting, single-fronted public entrance directly of Goods Lane into the main, bright, attractively appointed and deceptively spacious unisex salon with durable industrial non-slip flooring throughout for easy cleaning, comfortable seating for waiting customers and a prominent and fully fitted service counter with telephone and full complement of payment and appointment booking systems.

The main salon area currently comfortably accommodates a total of 4 x fully equipped styling stations with full-length designer mirrors and hair dryers, in addition to a split-level shampoo salon area housing 1 x fully equipped backwash station with linen display and storage units.

Further ancillary internal business accommodation consists of a staff kitchen and storeroom/dispensary area with small, fully furnished and equipped private and general administration office and access to all the usual washroom/WC facilities, which we understand are shared with the adjoining premises.

Externally

To the exterior the premises are well signed and presented and afford ample and inviting display window space onto a high footfall town centre commercial thoroughfare, with extensive unrestricted customer parking available locally.

The business is well fitted throughout and a valuable inventory of equipment is to be included in the sale price
