What market opportunities are there with N.Bar?
Over the last two years, there has been a massive uptake in the world of beauty services:
- 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 does 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 treats, each year.

The learning power of franchising
When it comes to self-improvement and self-development, being part of a franchise network is the ultimate in learning power. N.Bar explores how.
Throughout your career, how important has your commitment to continuous development been? In some industries, professional development is an annual requirement, as employees upskill themselves to become masters of what they do.
But, what about when you’re the business owner?
When first starting out, you’ll be learning a huge amount at every stage. Which, if you’re going it alone in your business, can be quite overwhelming, and involves an element of trial-and-error. Joining a franchise is different; you’re not having to work it out alone, and you have a range of proven resources to help you not just start a business, but to grow, expand, and make it a huge success for your future, and your portfolio.
Learning power
The right kind of training and support can give you the power to change, grow and achieve your individual, team, and organisational goals. This is where the franchisee training programme, provided by N.Bar’s experts can really help you – and your staff – as you identify and work toward multiple goals set at every stage of your business with us.
As a franchise, we have decades of experience at your disposal, and our team of experts in both the beauty industry, and in business operations, will be right by your side to guide you. Our training programme covers all aspects of running your business, including technical evaluations, hygiene protocols, customer service etiquette, and a strict adherence to our Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
As Joanna Jacobs, Chief Educator for the N.Bar network explains, “We’ve spent time developing the franchisee training programme, to ensure we elevate the N.Bar standard across all locations, and maintain consistency. So, when a franchisee starts, we’ll come alongside you to train you and your team fully. I’ll be with you, in your store, for three weeks: two weeks of training and one week for the store setup. Together, we’ll work through any challenges during those early stages, as I’ll be there to give you my full support during opening week.”
A culture of learning and growth
Investing in your own N.Bar franchise, means you’re join a cultural norm of outstanding support geared to your success. The power of learning isn’t just for when you open your business – it’s an ongoing commitment to maximise your potential, through the power of continuous development.
The real excitement happens as your business matures, which is when the Franchise Support Team dive even deeper, using their knowledge and experience to move your business to the next level. As our Franchise Operations Manager, Silvana Kopani, says, “As a team, we’re always there for you, but what we do best is to identify with you the steps needed for consistent growth. We understand how crucial this element is, so commit to using our insight to explore with you the necessary steps to achieve your goals. We’ll look at all aspects of your business: Marketing, operations, when to increase staff to reach headcount goals, and financial management like assessing your spend to maximize your business revenue. This gives all our Franchise Partners greater flexibility around how they want to grow their business.”
The joy of business learning
With the training and support measures offered to you, the N.Bar support team believe you have everything you’ll need to identify new goals each year, and enjoy the process of assessing how you’ll meet them, along with the delight of smashing them, completely.
Global Head of Franchising, Sepi Saldjoughi, says, “I love working with and inspiring our network of business owners to look more strategically at how to grow their businesses. With every new franchise partner, our team are absolutely brilliant at guiding you in the day-to-day. Whilst I offer insight to each franchisee, about how they can run a more effective business, and maximise efficiencies to achieve maximum profitability – something all our business partners want! So, as you become more established, you’ll enjoy business growth at every stage of your franchise journey – something we love to facilitate.”
