Market snapshot
Buying a hair salon in Melbourne, VIC, is really buying a client book and a team. Buyers usually ask how many clients rebook regularly, how much revenue sits with the owner versus employed stylists, and whether any chairs are rented out. Salons on busy strips such as Chapel Street, Brunswick Street and Glenferrie Road can charge premium prices for colour and styling work, while suburban salons in shopping centres rely on loyal local clients and steady foot traffic. Retail product sales, the booking system and online reviews all add value. The biggest risk is stylists leaving and taking clients with them, so check contracts and staff tenure. There are currently 15 hair salons listed in Melbourne on this hub. Asking prices vary with turnover, staff and lease, so treat the live listings as the source of truth. Shortlist, enquire free, and set an alert for new Melbourne salons.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a hair salon cost in Melbourne?
Hair salon prices in Melbourne depend on turnover, profit after wages, the client book and the lease. A one chair studio and a busy team salon on a main strip are priced very differently. Compare the asking prices on live Business For Sale listings and have your accountant check stylist takings before you negotiate.
Are there hair salons for sale in Melbourne without a broker?
Yes. Business For Sale lists private salon owners alongside broker listings in Melbourne, and enquiries are free on both. Many owners sell direct so they can talk to buyers quietly before telling staff and clients. You will usually sign a confidentiality agreement first, and your own lawyer should review the sale contract.
What should I check before buying a hair salon?
Check takings by stylist across recent years, the rebooking rate, how many clients are tied to the owner, and whether stylists are employees or chair renters. Review the lease, fitout condition, product stock and supplier deals, online reviews and the booking software. Ask how the owner will introduce you to regular clients.
How do I get alerts for new hair salons in Melbourne?
Open a free buyer account on Business For Sale, save a search for hair salons in Melbourne and switch alerts on. You can filter by price or area, such as the inner north or the south east. New matching salons are emailed as soon as they are listed, so you can contact the seller early.
