Well-regarded wellness and spa business that has built a solid standing in its local market. It brings together an appealing blend of wellness therapies, relaxation and spa treatments, and skincare and aesthetic services, giving the business several complementary streams of revenue. Over the years the Company has cultivated a devoted clientele that generates substantial repeat and referral activity, backed by an established digital footprint, favorable reviews, and a well-known local brand. The customer base is broad and diversified, drawing health-minded professionals, active adults, and retirees who make these services part of their ongoing self-care, along with seasonal residents and area visitors. Operations are based in a thoughtfully designed, move-in-ready facility, with a lean team and skilled service providers already on staff. With a manager and experienced providers in place, the business also offers the potential to be run in a semi-absentee capacity, and the way it is currently structured leaves clear room for an incoming owner to tighten operations and grow the enterprise. Avenues for growth include ramping up digital marketing and advertising, building out recurring membership and package programs, forming new referral relationships with healthcare and fitness partners, broadening retail and service lines, and making fuller use of the existing space to add capacity. This represents a compelling chance to step into an established, distinctive concept within the expanding health and wellness sector — one with a track record of operation, layered revenue streams, a loyal following, and genuine potential for continued growth. It suits a buyer looking for a business to run hands-on as an owner-operator, to operate semi-absentee, or to hold as an investment.

This is a fully established and fully built-out studio in Phoenix that you can walk into on day one with all of the systems and processes already built out and in place for you. It comes with 97 members on monthly autopay PLUS you also get a trained team of estheticians already booking clients every week. This franchise opportunity is perfect for a first time business owner or someone who wants the support of an entire franchise behind them. You're buying a location operated by the franchisor, who is selling it only to focus on growing the brand nationally. There's no transfer fee, the seller pays for your new owner training, and you don't need a license or beauty experience to own it. It runs on a part-time owner schedule. The studio is closed 2 days a week and has barely used paid advertising, so the upside is right in front of you. A new studio in this franchise costs well over $150,000 just to build; and this one is ready on day 1 with the team and the repeat customers already there. The sellers are looking for cash buyers only, no SBA.

The opportunity is positioned as a fully built franchise transfer and asset sale, allowing a qualified buyer to step into an operating wellness studio without starting from scratch.

A buyer receives a completed luxury buildout, installed wellness equipment, furniture, fixtures, technology systems, customer-facing infrastructure, and an established local market presence.

Built-in expansion — two additional territories. Beyond the flagship studio, this offering includes two highly desirable, undeveloped development territories in Gainey Ranch (Scottsdale) and Chandler (Ocotillo) — providing immediate expansion potential within the same brand.

This is an opportunity to acquire an owner absentee nail salon in the East Valley that has been operating for more than 15 years at the same address. The owner does not service clients. She travels regularly and the salon runs without her. A front desk team holds the schedule, handles guest care and runs the day to day, and 12 nail technicians plus a salon coordinator run the floor. The systems, the staffing and the client flow are already in place and working. The salon has operated at the same address with a long history for more than 15 years. The technicians have built their own client followings at this location, which keeps the revenue attached to the business rather than to any one person. Roughly 70% to 80% of guests are repeat clients who return every few weeks. The owner also moved the technician compensation split in the salon's favor in September 2026, which means the margin structure going forward is better than the historical financials reflect. Full financials, including a detailed recast, are available to qualified buyers after a signed confidentiality agreement. Inquire for the confidential information memorandum and P&Ls.

Key diligence, valuation, financing, and transition considerations for buyers evaluating beauty and personal care business acquisitions.
If stylists rent chairs or own their following, you may be buying a name and a build-out, not a client base. Understand the compensation model before you value the revenue.
Your providers are the business; remove two key technicians and you have a lease and some chairs. Review who's contracted and who could walk down the street.
Recurring memberships and retail product are stickier and higher-margin than walk-ins. Get the mix and price the recurring portion differently.
Cosmetology licenses, sanitation records, and inspection history are real liabilities. Confirm the business and its providers are current and clean.
Foot traffic, parking, and a transferable lease drive a salon or spa, and remaining term can matter more than the equipment.
Tables, spa and tanning equipment, and the build-out wear and date quickly. Know what needs refreshing to keep clients coming.
