Location Details
35 MELVILLE ST
Located in a prime main street position, this spacious salon features full glass frontage with large street-facing windows, offering exceptional visibility, natural light, and strong presence within the local retail strip
Potential
Strong opportunity for growth with additional stylists, extended trading hours, and increased marketing of online retail through Phorest. The salon already has a loyal client base and strong local reputation, with potential to expand services such as beauty, barbering, or specialised treatments. A new owner could further build on the established brand, social media presence, and client database to increase revenue
Skills
Best suited to a qualified hairdresser or salon manager with experience in client service, team leadership, and salon operations. The business already operates with established systems including Phorest booking software, making day-to-day management straightforward. A new owner could choose to work behind the chair or focus on managing and growing the team and business.

History
Rare opportunity to purchase a long-standing and much-loved local salon. The business was originally established as Reaper’s Hairdressing and successfully operated for over 40 years before being purchased by the current owner in 2012. In 2019, the salon was rebranded as Vive Hair & Beauty, continuing its strong reputation within the community. Over the past 14 years of ownership, the current owner has grown the salon’s loyal client base, modern systems, and supportive team culture
