Average asking price: €70,143 (from €20,000 to €220,000)

Here you'll find hair salons for sale across Italy: established businesses complete with stations, furnishings, a customer base and often trained staff, from neighborhood salons to multi-chair venues on busy streets. Taking over an existing salon gives you a loyal clientele and compliant premises from day one: in hairdressing that's the hardest and slowest advantage to build from scratch.

Some useful benchmarks: a small but established salon in a mid-sized city usually sells for €20,000 to €80,000, while prime locations in large cities go beyond €100,000-€150,000. You don't have to be a hairdresser yourself to run it: what you need is a qualified technical manager (Italian law 174/2005), who can be an employee. Before making an offer, check the lease (term and rent) and how much of the clientele is personally tied to the departing owner.

Filter listings by region and price and contact sellers to arrange a visit to the salon. The guide selling a hair salon is useful for buyers too, and business valuation gives you an idea of the value. Want to sell your salon?

Frequently asked questions

As a guide: €20,000-€60,000 for a small salon with a consolidated clientele, €60,000-€150,000 for well-established businesses in good locations, more on prime shopping streets in large cities. The condition of furnishings and equipment matters a lot (redoing them from scratch costs tens of thousands of euros), as do the lease terms.

No. Italian law 174/2005 requires a qualified technical manager to be present in the business: it can be you, if you hold the qualification, or a partner or qualified employee that you formally appoint. When you take over, the SCIA is filed with the municipality naming the technical manager. Many buyers are pure entrepreneurs who keep the previous owner's qualified staff on the team.

Market practice cross-checks two references: 30-60% of annual revenue or 2-3 times the profit left to the operator, plus the value of furnishings and equipment if recent. Adjust downwards if much of the clientele is tied to the departing owner, upwards if the team stays and the lease is long and sustainable. You can get a first estimate with business valuation.

Yes: with a business transfer, employment relationships continue automatically with the new owner, keeping seniority and terms (art. 2112 c.c.). In salons this is usually an advantage rather than a constraint: every stylist brings their own regular customers, who are a substantial part of the goodwill you're paying for.

Opening from scratch usually costs €30,000-€70,000 in works, furnishings and equipment, and starts with zero customers: the first years go into building word of mouth. By taking over you pay for goodwill but earn from day one with a loyal clientele. The full comparison between the two routes is in the guide franchise or established business.
