The subject property occupies an outstanding and highly visible trading position with little in the way of direct local competition in the good and well populated residential commuter village of North Hykeham, which lies on the busy main A1434 to all the many amenities and attractions of the nearby prosperous and historic university and cathedral city of Lincoln.

Established more than sixty years ago, this highly regarded salon is currently primarily equipped to high industry specifications to undertake a virtually ‘one stop’ range of bespoke, professional and highly creative hair design, styling, colouring, perming and "spiral" perming services for both sexes of all ages, and boasts a long-standing and still-expanding, repeat and referral client base drawn from throughout a wide surrounding catchment area.

Currently operating on relatively restricted hours, "Curls" also conducts a highly complementary retail operation of an exclusive range of market-leading haircare products and operates from premises of a size which would naturally furnish any enthusiastic purchaser with considerable scope for continued growth, and a return to previously much higher levels of pre-Covid turnover, not least with regard to possible expansion into other areas of the highly diverse hair and beauty services and retail market, to perhaps include manicures etc., possible investment in additional employed or self-employed staff, and to operating hugely extended 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 in the course of some twelve successful years’ trading in the hands of the current proprietor.

The salon operates on a day-to-day basis in the hands of the current proprietor who has laid the most solid of business foundations for any new owner over the years, with the aid of just one experienced and motivated part-time assistant who would be an asset to any purchaser, and we would strongly urge any genuine interested parties pursue the earliest possible enquiries to avoid disappointment.

Fitted to high industry specifications throughout, these well maintained, single-storey freehold semi-detached commercial premises provide excellent and highly functional internal business accommodation, which briefly comprises an inviting and part-glazed public entrance directly off Lincoln Road (A1434) into the main, bright and welcoming, open-plan salon area with sttylish and durable industrial anti-slip flooring throughout for easy cleaning, diffused fluorescent strip lighting and a welcoming reception area with comfortable lounge seating for waiting customers and a fully fitted service counter with telephone, till point and credit card payment facilities.

The main salon area currently comfortably accommodates 3 x fully equipped mirrored styling stations and 3 x fully equipped washing stations, together with a "Climazone" (currently unused) and a dedicated drying area housing 4 x fixed and hooded drying positions.

Further ancillary internal business accommodation consists of a fitted shop kitchen area housing ample storage units, fitted sink unit and range of basic appliances for the provision of hot and cold light refreshments and a utility area equipped with washing machine, tumble dryer and all the usual washroom/WC facilities, together with separate doorway access to the rear.
