About the Business
Hairdressing is one of the few industries that can’t be automated or replaced by AI — it’s personal, hands-on, and recession-proof. Even balding business brokers like me still need a cut every fortnight.
Chisholm Hair Works is a Canberra icon. Operating since 1985, this salon boasts a loyal client base, a fully fitted-out premises, and a team of experienced senior stylists. The business generated $592,110 in FY2024 revenue, with a PEBITDA of $176,595 — delivering well above-average financial returns.
This is a genuine sale due to the owner retiring from the industry after 30 years, following a serious injury.
