Established Salon w/ Booth Rental Income & Long-Term Stylists
Business Description
Well-established salon operating under a booth rental model, providing consistent, predictable income with minimal day-to-day management. This business has been operating for over 30 years and is supported by a group of long-tenured stylists, many of whom have been in place for decades.
The salon generates revenue primarily through weekly chair rentals and a nail technician revenue split, creating a simple, low-overhead structure with no traditional payroll requirements. This makes it an ideal opportunity for an owner-operator or investor seeking steady income without the complexity of managing employees.
The space is approximately 2,000 square feet and includes multiple styling stations, a nail area, two private treatment rooms, and a dedicated break room. The private rooms have previously been used by a massage therapist and esthetician and offer immediate upside through additional rental income.
Current rents are generally at or below market, providing a clear opportunity for a new owner to increase revenue by adjusting booth rental rates, filling any unused capacity, or leasing the private rooms to additional service providers.
The business has a loyal, repeat client base driven by the individual stylists. Historically, the salon has operated with little to no formal marketing, leaving significant room for growth through social media, online presence, and local promotion.
A new HVAC system was installed within the past year, and the salon is in solid overall condition with no major capital improvements required. Cosmetic updates could be made at the buyer’s discretion but are not necessary for continued operation.
Ownership currently handles administrative tasks such as rent collection, licensing, and bill payment. The business does not require full-time oversight in its current form.
Seller is open to remaining in the salon as a renter post-sale, which can provide immediate continuity and reduce transition risk.
This is a straightforward, stable business with upside for a buyer who understands the booth rental model and sees the opportunity to optimize pricing and expand service offerings.

About the Business

- Employees
- 5 Contractors
- Facilities & Assets
- The business operates out of an approximately 2,000 sq ft salon space with a functional layout designed for efficiency and expansion. The facility includes multiple styling stations, a dedicated nail area, and a dryer station.
A key feature of the space is two private treatment rooms, including one larger room with built-in cabinetry and storage. These rooms have previously been used by a massage therapist and esthetician and provide immediate opportunity for additional rental income.
The salon also includes a dedicated break room for staff.
All furniture, fixtures, and equipment are included in the sale, including styling chairs, stations, wash basins, dryers, and built-in cabinetry.
A new HVAC system was installed within the past year. The space is in solid condition with no major capital improvements required. - Market Outlook / Competition
- The salon operates within the established Jacksonville personal care market, where demand for hair and nail services remains consistent across all demographics. The business benefits from a long-standing presence and a loyal, repeat client base built over more than 30 years.
Competition in the area includes both independent salons and franchise concepts. However, Taj Salon’s booth rental model and long-tenured stylists create a level of stability that is not dependent on walk-in traffic or heavy marketing efforts.
Unlike commission-based salons, this business is driven by independent service providers who maintain their own clientele, reducing operational risk and customer churn.
While the current ownership has not emphasized marketing, a new owner could increase visibility and attract additional renters through online presence, social media, and local outreach, positioning the salon more competitively within the market. - Opportunities for Growth
- The business offers multiple clear paths for revenue growth with minimal structural changes.
Current booth rental rates are generally at or below market, providing an immediate opportunity to increase weekly rents and standardize pricing across all stylists. Additional income can be generated by filling any unused stations.
The salon includes two private treatment rooms that are not fully utilized. These spaces can be leased to estheticians, massage therapists, or other service providers to create additional recurring revenue.
The business has operated with little to no formal marketing, presenting a significant opportunity to grow through social media, online presence, and local advertising. A more active marketing strategy could also help attract new renters.
Additional upside exists in expanding services or introducing retail product sales, depending on the buyer’s vision.
