Profitable, fully absentee salon – clean books, easy to own

This is a long?standing neighborhood hair salon that has operated in this area for decades under the same brand and concept. The business is fully absentee: a manager and licensed stylists handle day?to?day operations, scheduling, and customer service. The current owner does not work in the salon.

Why this salon is attractive

Approx. $65K+ annual Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE) for the current absentee owner

Manager?run with a stable, long?tenured stylist team

Strong service?driven revenue and repeat clientele

Clear systems and reporting already in place

Additional salon locations may be available if you want to scale after this purchase

History and continuity

The brand and location have served local guests for decades. After the pandemic, the business was reorganized into a new legal entity for structural/administrative reasons, but the staff, clients, and operating playbook continued without interruption. From a customer and employee perspective, it has been continuous service in the same spot with the same salon experience.

Simple, clean transaction – cash buyers preferred

This is designed to be a straightforward, no?nonsense deal:

Cash buyers are strongly preferred for a faster, simpler closing

Business is priced near a 2x multiple of SDE for a fair, easy?to?understand valuation

Seller financing may be available for qualified buyers with at least 75% down, with the remaining balance on a simple note at market interest rates

No SBA loan is required or preferred – the goal is to avoid a long bank process and keep the transaction clean

For sale by owner – serious inquiries only

This is a for?sale?by?owner opportunity. There is no formal CIM; serious buyers will receive clear financials and key reports directly from the owner after an NDA is signed.

To respect everyone’s time, only inquiries with a specific, non?generic message will receive a response. Blank or one?line messages (“Still available?”, “Send details”) will be dismissed.

Next steps

NDA and a brief phone call are required for all buyers. I am looking for a straightforward, quick cash close.

If you’re interested in owning a manager?run salon with consistent cash flow and can fund at least 75% of the purchase price in cash:

Request the NDA.

After the NDA is signed, we’ll schedule a short call to confirm fit and walk through the key numbers.

For qualified cash buyers, we can move quickly from call to signed agreement and closing.
