Buying a hair salon in Switzerland
A useful first comparison of a hair salon should connect the asking price with operating evidence, contractual rights and a workable transfer. Revenue often follows individual stylists; an expensive lease, staff exits and unrecorded voucher liabilities can weaken the purchase case.
Earnings to normalise before valuing a hair salon
Measure sales by stylist and service, rebooking, chair utilisation, product margin and wage or chair-rental cost. Replace the owner's own billable hours.
Due-diligence priorities for a hair salon
Review employment or chair-rental agreements, client-data consent, booking accounts, lease, inventory, equipment and gift-voucher balances.
Protect continuity while a hair salon changes hands
Use a stylist-retention plan and transfer appointments, formulas, stock, voucher balances, social accounts and client communication.
