The franchise · £14,500 all-in
A salon-grade business. No salon required.
One payment covers everything a launch needs: your NVQ training, a corporate-leased electric van in full brand wrap, elite portable kit, starting stock, a defined territory and the technology stack that keeps your diary full and your admin near zero.
What £14,500 buys
The earning picture
- Optimised full-time — around 25 route-clustered clients a week models to roughly £61,000 gross, retaining a pre-tax net of about £40,000 — a ∼45% uplift on the average employed senior stylist
- Premium specialist — bridal and colour specialists in affluent belts model to £83,000–£88,500 gross, with net income beyond £60,000
- Grounded assumptions — a 75% productivity rule, 48-week year and regional price matrices; no best-case arithmetic
- Lean cost base — no rent, no rates; product costs held near 10% through corporate bulk purchasing; EV running costs up to 38% below diesel

The operating system
Three platforms run the business around you.
Jobber · the diary
Scheduling, CRM and algorithmic route clustering that protects EV range and kills dead mileage — with skill-based routing that sends premium chemical work only to those qualified for it.
Stripe · the money
Every payment captured at the point of sale and split automatically — royalty and stock costs deducted, the balance remitted straight to you. No invoicing, ever.
Geotab · the fleet
Real-time battery health, route efficiency and GDPR-compliant oversight keep the corporate-leased fleet — and your working day — running.
The demand side
The diary maths is modest.
A stabilised full-time column needs only 100–120 recurring clients on a five-to-six-week cycle — in territories holding tens of thousands of households within a thirty-minute drive. Mobile operators inherit the demand the high street is shedding, and the 2% levy funds regional search presence and launch campaigns that grow automatically with the fleet.
- Defined territory with a launch promotion behind you
- A wrapped EV — a moving billboard on commuter routes
- Rebooking automation converts first visits into six-week cycles
- Referral-dominated trade: quality compounds
Who we’re looking for
Three doors into the network.
Start from zero
Train at the academy — with funded routes for eligible learners — then step straight into a deployed business. The complete journey, one system.
Go mobile, properly
Already hold your NVQ? Skip to deployment: territory, van, technology and brand behind you instead of a rent-a-chair ceiling above you.
Build a fleet
The apprentice loop lets capacity-constrained franchisees add vans and people — the ladder is designed for multi-van territory operators.
Territories are allocated once — and defended.
The pilot network is deliberately small. Enquire now and we’ll talk territories, timing and whether the model fits the business you want to build.
