N.Bar is a world-class nail salon franchise, focused on high-end pampering experiences with attention to medical-grade hygiene. It’s one of six prestigious brands, including Trevor Sorbie, under the banner of globally successful The Grooming Company Holding.

 Founded in 2001, N.Bar has grown to become a truly international franchise with 23 stores operating in five countries, and Head Offices in Dubai and London. During this time, we’ve serviced more than 120,000 customers, including leading influencers, entrepreneurs, and celebrities.

Over the last two years, there’s been a huge rise in demand for high-quality beauty services with the industry set to be worth a whopping £26.7billion in 2023:

  • In 2021, as soon as the beauty industry reopened after lockdown, salons in the UK saw a 432% spike in bookings (Source: Beauty bookings service Treatwell)
  • Companies House reports, “The beauty and health industry continues to grow rapidly, outpacing many other sectors in the retail industry, and is set to be worth £26.7 billion.”
  • And the UK is one of the leading cosmetic consumers in Western Europe, according to Statista’s analysis of global consumer data.

 

Which shows just how important it is for us to feel and look good. And just how important businesses are who add joy into our lives.

So, if you’re thinking about a business in our sector, how will this translate to potential personal spend among your customers?

  • Last year, booking app, Pamperbook, surveyed 900 UK hair & beauty salons and freelancers. They found clients spent an average £150–£160 per month just on nails, and a further £200–£250 per month on other beauty treatments (excluding hair and aesthetic spend). Imagine what this could mean for your own N.Bar business!
  • Your salon will help to deliver joy to your share of almost 700,000 customers, which The Grooming Company collectively treats, each year.

 

In response to this rapidly growing market, N.Bar is now seeking business-minded nail salon franchise partners across the UK, who want to break into the beauty industry by opening their own salon.

Franchisees can expect a variety of benefits, including help with locating and outfitting a salon, access to multiple revenue streams, and great returns on their investment.

All N.Bar salons have custom-built interiors which are designed to stand out from the crowd, offering customers a relaxing and reassuring environment, where they can enjoy their chosen treatments.

No experience in the beauty industry is required, as you will receive full support from the moment you decide N.Bar is the right business venture for you. N.Bar has been developed as a management franchise, based on decades of success and a proven business model, and can help anyone with the right ambition to succeed. Ideally, prospective franchisees should have a passion for the industry and customer care, as well as an interest in learning and growing their business.
