The Story of Selling a Salon: Why a 7.5-Tsubo Hair Salon Sold for 4.5 Million Yen in Less Than Two Months

A must-read for those considering closing their salon!
Do you want to know why a 7.5-tsubo hair salon sold for 4.5 million yen in less than two months?

"My salon is too small to sell."

Many salon owners think this way.

In fact, I thought the same thing at first.

A small hair salon of just 7.5 tsubo.

Three styling stations and one shampoo unit.

It was by no means a large salon.

The location was not a large storefront in front of the station, but a community-based salon with low rent.

So at first,

"I'd be lucky if I could get a few hundred thousand yen for the fixtures and fittings."

I thought.

However, in reality, the transfer was finalized for 4.5 million yen (tax included) in less than two months.

Why did it reach that amount?

The reason is that I wasn't just selling the equipment.

A hair salon has invisible value beyond just styling stations and shampoo units.

For example,

・Long-term loyal customers
・LINE Official Account subscribers
・Booking flow
・Google reviews
・Website
・Local brand awareness
・Repeat rate
・Business name
・Operating track record
・Equipment and interior ready for immediate operation

By presenting these things collectively as a "business," there is a possibility that it will be valued higher than a simple transfer of fixtures.

Especially from the buyer's perspective,

"I can start operating from tomorrow"
"There are already customers"
"LINE bookings and flows are already set up"
"It is recognized in the local area"

This state is extremely attractive.

When opening a new business from scratch,

it takes a considerable amount of time and money, including finding a property, interior construction, purchasing equipment, attracting customers, building a LINE account, advertising, and gathering reviews.

However, if it is a salon that already has an operating track record, you can reduce that time and risk.

Because that value exists, even a small hair salon has the potential to be taken over at a high price.

Of course, not every salon can necessarily be sold for a high price.

However,

the more you are convinced that
it's impossible because it's small,
it won't sell because it's old,or the only option is to close down,

the more important it is to re-evaluate its 'value as a business' once.

Even a salon you thought had no choice but to close can sometimes be transformed into a 'sale' depending on how it is presented and prepared.

For those who want to sell at even a slightly higher price, I recommend organizing your regular customers, LINE account, booking flow, reviews, and operating track record from now on.

I seriously support salon owners who are seriously considering closing their salon and selling it instead.

Small-Scale Business Succession Manual https://salonmirai.net/

For small-scale salon owners of hair salons, barbershops, beauty salons, nail salons, and chiropractic clinics, I share the concept of 'small-scale business succession' rather than just transferring fixtures, based on my own actual experience.

Having read this far, I think there are some who are comparing it to their own situation. I answer questions that cannot be fully covered in text through my official LINE account within a reasonable scope.

If you write even just a word about your current situation, I will reply to you individually.
