Business Information

Harps Hair & Beauty Salon is an established and well-equipped hair and beauty business trading from prominent ground-floor premises on Normanton Road in the Normanton district of Derby. The business offers an extensive menu spanning hair, beauty, advanced aesthetics and holistic treatments, and has developed a loyal, predominantly walk-in client base on one of Derby’s most active secondary high streets. The owner is retiring after many years of building the business, representing a genuine opportunity for an incoming owner-operator to acquire an established foundation with a broad and capable service offering.

The business operates across a wide range of disciplines including threading, waxing, facials, advanced aesthetics (laser hair removal, microdermabrasion, glycopeels, microneedling, semi-permanent makeup, 3D Lipo body contouring), massage, hair treatments, manicures, pedicures, gel polish, spray tanning and retail. The salon holds a live website at harpsbeautysalon.co.uk and is listed on both the Treatwell and Fresha booking platforms. Products used and sold in the salon include Dermalogica, CND Shellac and GHD. Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2026 show turnover of £73,854 and an adjusted net profit of approximately £22,000 on a working-owner basis, with gross margins of 94.5%.

The premises are ground-floor lock-up only and offer a flexible layout comprising a main reception and multi-station treatment area, a dedicated treatment room with two beds, a massage room with feature mural, a central prep room with potential for conversion, a storage room (formerly used for spray tanning), kitchen and welfare facilities, and rear access via a shared corridor. The fitout is comprehensive, with hydraulic styling chairs, backwash, pedicure spa chair, Hollywood-style lit mirror, ring lighting, treatment beds, retail shelving and CCTV throughout. The premises benefit from a striking hot-pink shopfront with electric roller shutters and prominent road-level window display.

This is a retirement sale. The vendor is offering the business as a going concern with three part-time staff who will transfer under TUPE. The vendor identifies several areas of untapped potential including social media marketing, the introduction of injectable aesthetics, Afro hair services, chair and room rental, and expanded use of online booking platforms. The business occupies a sensible rent position and is expected to benefit from Small Business Rates Relief following separation of the adjoining units.
