Mostly Absentee Franchise Blow Dry Bar, $83K+ SDE – Houston, TX
Business Description
This is a profitable, well-established franchise blow dry bar located in a highly desirable Houston market, with eight years of operating history and a loyal, repeat client base. The salon operates within a nationally recognized franchise system and has developed strong brand awareness within its local trade area.
For full year 2025, the business generated $517,865 in gross revenue with Seller’s Discretionary
Earnings of $83,983.
On a trailing-twelve-month basis (July 2025–June 2026), revenue has grown to $536,792, with SDE improving to an estimated $104,559, reflecting the benefit of the streamlined advertising budget and the historically stronger fourth quarter now included in the trailing period.
The salon operates in a mostly absentee structure. An on-site manager oversees daily operations, scheduling, and staff supervision, while the owner provides high-level oversight and financial management. The owner is not required to perform services behind the chair. This structure makes the business well suited for either a semi-passive investor or a more hands-on owner- operator seeking to increase margins.
The business generates more than $12,000 per month in recurring membership revenue, providing predictable baseline cash flow and strong client retention. Q4 is historically the strongest quarter due to event-driven demand and seasonal activity.
In 2024 and early 2025, ownership invested aggressively in marketing and brand development, including enhanced digital campaigns and a one-time professional video production costing approximately $7,000. Advertising strategy has since been streamlined and reduced by more than 50 percent to approximately $1,500 per month, with no measurable decline in traffic or appointment volume. On a normalized basis, earnings would reflect meaningful improvement going forward.
The location was newly built out in June 2023 and remains modern and turnkey. Replicating a comparable franchise salon in this market today would likely require a startup investment exceeding $450,000 inclusive of buildout, franchise fees, equipment, deposits, and working capital.
The seller is seeking a cash buyer or a buyer utilizing alternative or personal financing. Due to the nature of advertising normalization and add-backs, the business is not positioned for SBA financing.
