After 35 years behind the chair, countless conversations, and generations of loyal clients, the scissors are finally being put down. Urgent sale required, all offers welcome!
The business is being offered for sale due to the owner’s planned retirement. After successfully establishing and operating Aces of Fades in a prime Surfers Paradise location since 2010, the owner has decided to retire after 35 successful and profitable years from the industry. The sale is not performance-related, with the business continuing to trade strongly. A well established brand, and growth opportunities provide an excellent platform for the incoming new owner.
