The subject premises occupy an outstanding and highly visible trading position among other complementary independent operators on a high footfall commercial thoroughfare situated with excellent access to major bus, rail, road and motorway links in the vibrant “New Town” quarter of the world-class Scottish capital city of Edinburgh.

We are delighted to present this outstanding opportunity to acquire a thriving commercial proposition of exceptional 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 the highest industry specifications to undertake a virtually ‘one stop’ range of highly creative, classic and contemporary hair design, styling and colour services for a long-standing and still-expanding regular client base of both sexes, with a significant volume of year-round ‘walk in’ trade generated by its prime city centre position.

“Urban (Edinburgh)” also conducts a highly complementary sales operation of an exclusive range of market-leading and environmentally-friendly haircare products and operates from premises of a size which would naturally furnish any enthusiastic purchaser with considerable scope for continued growth, not least with regard to possibly employing its currently unused beauty treatment room for business expansion purposes, and to the possible introduction of Sunday trading in order to exploit the full potential capacity of its facilities.

The business would also benefit by adopting a more vigorous marketing policy of its excellent existing facilities and services, both through its own informative dedicated website and to further development of its social media presence, in order to improve upon the already high levels of turnover it is achieving in the hands of the current proprietor, with the aid of an experienced and motivated team of seven self-employed ‘rent-a-chair’ stylists who would be an asset to any purchaser, and we would unreservedly recommend a viewing.

Fitted to superb industry specifications throughout, these substantial and extremely well maintained leasehold character parade premises provide truly outstanding and highly functional internal business accommodation which, to the GROUND FLOOR, briefly comprises an inviting, part-glazed and recessed, double-fronted public entrance directly off Howe Street into the main, bright, spacious and attractively appointed unisex hair salon with track spotlighting, feature original fireplace and solid timber flooring throughout for easy cleaning, which includes a welcoming reception area with comfortable seating for waiting customers, large wall-mounted TV screen, high quality displays for an exclusive range of market-leading haircare products and a fully fitted service counter with telephone and full complement of modern payment and appointment booking systems.

Offering Wi-Fi internet access throughout, the main salon area currently comfortably accommodates a total of 8 x fully equipped styling stations with full length designer mirrors (7 of which are currently employed by self-employed ‘rent-a-chair’ stylists to produce a high regular rental income) together with 3 x fully equipped backwash stations with modern water filtration system and the usual hair drying facilities.

Further ancillary accommodation to the ground floor consists of all the usual washroom/WC facilities for customers and staff.

The ground-floor premises also afford descending staircase access down to a large LOWER GROUND FLOOR level providing further ancillary accommodation consisting of a fully fitted staff kitchen/restroom area, which is also employed for the provision of light refreshments for customers, together with a currently unused beauty treatment room with huge potential for private business expansion or additional sub-letting purposes.

The premises also enjoy the benefit of central heating and double glazing, in addition to the added security benefit of a full alarm system.
