Turnkey 8-Chair Salon – A+ Condition, Below Replacement Cost

We have a new opportunity to acquire a fully built-out, 8-chair salon in a high-traffic Ypsilanti location for just $35,000—well below the cost of building out a comparable space from scratch.

For a stylist ready to open an independent salon, an existing operator looking to expand, or an entrepreneur with a vision for a new beauty concept, this is an opportunity to start with the infrastructure already in place and make the business your own.

A salon ready for your vision

The approximately 1,170-square-foot facility is exceptionally well maintained and equipped with eight styling stations, a three-bowl hydraulic shampoo area, three dryer stations, reception and waiting areas, a private treatment room, manicure station, retail displays, laundry, kitchen, storage, and other salon infrastructure.

The current business operates on a station-rental model, with four of eight styling stations occupied by independent stylists. The owner spends approximately 5–6 hours per week on the business, primarily handling cleaning and light banking, with no direct employees.

An incoming owner has the flexibility to develop a different concept around the existing build-out, subject to lease terms and applicable requirements.

Potential directions for a new owner include:

• Launching an owner-operated, full-service salon with your own brand, services, and client experience

• Building a team of stylists under a salon concept you create

• Filling the four vacant stations to expand the existing rental model

• Adding complementary services such as esthetics or massage in the private treatment room

• Reintroducing retail product sales and developing a website, social media presence, and targeted marketing program

• Expanding evening hours to better serve working clients

The existing tenant relationships may provide a useful starting point, and the seller expects the current stylists to remain following a transition.

Located along a well-traveled commercial corridor near Eastern Michigan University and the Ann Arbor market, the facility is leased through June 2031.

Asking price: $35,000. Rather than paying for a new build-out, you can acquire an established salon space with substantial infrastructure already in place—and focus your investment on the concept, team, and clientele you want to build.

This opportunity may be particularly attractive to a stylist ready to become an owner, an existing salon operator seeking another location, or an entrepreneur looking to bring a new beauty concept to market.
