Salon Nine

What Salon Nine does

Salon Nine is a privately owned, single-location hair and beauty salon operating from 70 High Street, Haverhill, Suffolk, UK (CB9 8AR), founded in 2022 by owner Rebecca Clark. The salon delivers premium hair services (blonding, full-head colour with foils, cuts, blowdries, bridal styling) alongside a beauty treatment offering that includes gel manicures, BIAB nails, and nail art, executed by a team of 11 stylists and beauty therapists. Its core technology is operational rather than proprietary: scheduling runs through the third-party Timely booking platform, customer acquisition relies on Instagram and walk-ins, and the salon holds GHD flagship status which provides access to exclusive styling tools and training. There is no proprietary software, mobile app, or API surface.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer service model with four revenue streams: hair services, beauty services, bridal hair styling (consultations, trials, day-of), and retail product sales of GHD tools and professional salon products. Pricing is unit-based and pay-as-you-go — gel manicures from £25, full-head colour/foils with gloss/wash/cut/blowdry at £190 — with gift vouchers as a complementary retail channel. The customer base is split between individual consumers seeking premium hair and beauty treatments and a smaller but higher-value bridal segment, with no B2B or enterprise sales motion.

In 2024 the salon completed 6,122 appointments and 37 weddings while expanding from 8 to 11 team members, adding two beauty rooms and a staff room, becoming a GHD flagship, and opening on Mondays. Marketing is primarily organic through Instagram, supplemented by hosted events (GHD masterclasses, Christmas Sip & Style) and gift voucher sales. There are no disclosed funding rounds, subsidiaries, or ownership changes; expansion to date has been entirely organic and founder-led.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Others

• GHD (Good Hair Day): Styling-tool manufacturer that designates 'flagship salons' and runs Style Squad / Pro Influencer programmes. Closely entwined with Salon Nine via flagship status, masterclasses, and product retail — comparator as a partner/enabler rather than direct competitor.
• Schwarzkopf Professional: Professional hair colour and care manufacturer that certifies 'Colour Masters' and supplies partner salons. Comparable because Salon Nine's Schwarzkopf Colour Master credential is a direct ecosystem partnership; the supplier relationship makes them an adjacent rather than competing business.

Broad incumbents

• Headmasters UK: Established UK hair salon chain offering cutting, colouring, and beauty services across multiple locations. Comparable on service mix (hair + beauty, professional products) but at much greater scale and a broader mid-market positioning.
• Toni&Guy: Globally recognised UK-founded salon brand with broad hair and beauty service menus. Operates a franchised/network model comparable in spirit to Salon Nine's GHD partnership structure but at incumbent scale.
• Rush Hair: UK multi-location salon chain providing cutting, colour, and treatments. Comparable service offering and product-retail arm (selling GHD and other premium tools), but priced and positioned more for accessibility than Salon Nine's luxury 1:1 niche.

Direct peers

• Josh Wood Colour: London-based salon and at-home colour brand specialising in blonding and bespoke colour. Overlaps with Salon Nine on blonding expertise, premium pricing, and founder/colour-specialist positioning.
• Daniel Hersheson Salons: High-end London hair salons focused on cut, colour and bridal. Closely comparable to Salon Nine on bridal specialism, luxury positioning, and founder-led reputation; differentiated by location in central London.
• Bleach London: UK salon brand specialised in blonding, balayage and creative colour. Directly comparable to Salon Nine on core competency (blonding expertise), Instagram-led DTC marketing, and tier of premium pricing for colour services.
• Larry King Hair: London-based luxury independent hair salon famous for editorial, colour and styling. Comparable to Salon Nine on premium positioning, celebrity-led credibility, and Instagram-driven brand; both emphasise 1:1 client experience.
• Richard Ward Hair & Metrospa: Chelsea-based luxury hair and beauty destination offering cut, colour, bridal and spa services. Highly comparable to Salon Nine's combined hair + bridal + beauty model under one premium roof.
