After a turbulent few years grappling with economic uncertainty, the salon and barbering industry is evolving in a positive direction. As more clients look for salons that provide a retreat for well-being, relaxation and rejuvenation, new services such as Head Spa treatments, beauty and specialised hair and scalp care are weaving their way into more established hairdressing and colour menus.
Diversifying to offer a broader range of services is great for business. They inevitably lead to an increase in client spend, as people invest more in their hair, health and well-being, and they differentiate salons that are innovating to meet changing demands.
Equipping your salon to enhance core services while allowing for the introduction of new treatments is a big decision, but there has been a transformation here too.
How 0% Finance Lease is boosting business
Edinburgh-based ROKU, for example, reported a 33% increase in revenue between December 2024 and January 2025 after repositioning themselves as Japanese Head Spa specialists with Takara Belmont equipment acquired using our 0%, zero deposit Finance Lease Scheme.
Our National Sales manager Katie Fielder comments: “We introduced this innovative scheme in 2022, and it has allowed salons to invest in our world-class equipment in an affordable and tax efficient way. Many more salons are looking to upgrade and diversify, and this scheme is helping them to introduce more immersive, therapy-based experiences.”
From a salon perspective, Robbie Bruce, owner at ROKU agrees: “This flexible, affordable scheme has allowed us to invest without straining our finances. The application process was straightforward and hassle-free.”
A new era of change
As the industry enters a new era of change, luxury and well-being are the meeting point between what clients are looking for and what salons are offering. “Upgrading with 0% Finance Lease puts salons in control of their expansion plans and finances,” says Katie. “There’s never been a better time, or a more affordable way, to upgrade and expand your horizons.”
The 5 key benefits of Takara Belmont’s 0%, zero deposit Finance Lease scheme are:
Maximising expansion and growth
Upgrading to our world-class equipment boosts your growth potential by enhancing core services and allowing for menu expansion with treatments such as Head Spa, scalp care and beauty. 0%, zero deposit Finance Lease makes this possible with fixed monthly payments and no upfront capital outlay.
Enhancing service experiences for your clients and team
Our range of world-leading styling chairs, backwash units, processors, furniture and accessories enhance everyday comfort, while delivering dependable functionality and performance. This also delivers sustainability benefits by minimising the need for repairs and replacement while enhancing client experiences and transforming the working environment for your team.
Affordability, tax relief and better cashflow management
Available across our entire range, this scheme improves cash flow by allowing your salon to retain cash in the business for other important investments such as training, recruitment and marketing. Fixed monthly payments give you financial certainty and tax relief for the duration of the agreement, while instilling confidence in quality, comfort and innovation that will enhance your reputation for high-end client care.
Flexibility that evolves
At the end of the 2-year agreement, your salon can own the equipment outright for one extra monthly payment, or you can upgrade again and start a new agreement. In a fast-changing world, this provides more scope to evolve as new service, treatment and equipment innovations emerge.
Simplify your life
This scheme means you can budget more effectively and enjoy complete peace of mind. Once everything is in place, you can focus on providing great service and concentrate on your business without worrying about your equipment.
