L1310 Full-Service Salon & Day Spa

You have to see this salon and spa to truly appreciate all that it has to offer!  Located in a busy Orange County center, this salon was established 20 years ago and has a very loyal, affluent clientele! The salon, which was recently remodeled, has a unique floor plan and style, featuring 15 hair stations, 6 shampoo bowls, 3 dryer stations, 3 fully-plumbed facial rooms, 2 waiting areas, and 2 bathrooms, one of which is equipped with a shower.  There is also room to add 2 more hair stations, and 2 manicure stations.  In addition, there are 2 storage areas for the stylists, a locked storage room for the owner, plus a private office near the reception area.  A covered patio in the back of the salon offers a relaxing retreat for stylists to have their coffee break or enjoy their lunch.  The salon and spa occupies approximately 3,000 square feet,  but what is most amazing is the extremely low monthly rent of only $1,500 – which is well-below market! The landlord has reduced it to this level indefinitely, from the already-low $2,590 specified in the long lease, to help in this economy. This beautiful full-service salon and spa offers designer cuts, expert color, color correction, up-do’s, Brazilian Blowouts, Japanese hair straightening, as well as massage, waxing, bridal make-up, facials, resurfacing skin peels, micro dermabrasion, dermafillers (Restylane, collagens, and Hylaform) and Botox.  A retail area displays hair and skincare products, as well as jewelry, sunglasses, purses, scarves and seasonal gifts.There are currently 7 stylists, 4 of which are on a rental basis, and 3 on a commission basis, 1 aesthetician and 1 nail technician, both on a rental basis.  The salon is slowly transitioning to a commission basis. This should be even more profitable, but can require more hands-on management and on-going product training.The owner has identified several opportunities to grow the business, such as filling the remaining 8 hair stations and facial rooms, and marketing to the database of 1,000+ clients, the upscale residential area surrounding the salon, and the employees of the many large corporate headquarters just minutes away!  The owner is selling the salon because her commute is too far, and she would like to spend more time with her family.

L1294 Street Lighting Glass Moulds

BestSoCal Business, a mergers and acquisitions firm is pleased to present a growth and acquisition opportunity for your consideration: many of the original iron-cast air moulds for manufacturing glass globes used for street lighting in municipalities worldwide.  These distinctive glass globes, common in many U.S. and European cities, are widely preferred by architects for their historical and nostalgic appeal. The globes are renowned for their exceptional illumination, superior life rating and true economic value.  Designed and created 70 years ago by Swedish and Norwegian immigrants, the original iron-cast air moulds are still used today to create the globes.  Recreating and manufacturing these air-cast moulds would be very difficult, even with today’s technology.  Widely considered works of art, the moulds have historic value, as they have produced globes for virtually every municipality in the United States. The original physical moulds are still in perfect working order, and are now available for purchase.  Since 2000, the parent company has been diversifying beyond its traditional glass globe line into wholesale lighting distribution, energy management services, designing/engineering of lighting applications, and turn-key commissioning of lighting upgrade services.  As this new direction has prospered, the decorative glass globes have become a non-core business.  In an effort to focus on the company’s new direction, the manufacturer, in an unprecedented move, is making the iron-cast air moulds for the glass globes available for purchase.  Acquisition of these moulds – by a domestic or foreign fixture, lighting or globe manufacturer looking to expand their business – would provide the buyer with immediate credibility and competitiveness through the historic value and well-known brand name.
