Renting salon space in Cardiff
ONS counts around 275 hair and beauty businesses in Cardiff, out of roughly 2,125 across the whole of Wales. Independent salons trade from the Victorian arcades in the city centre, including the Castle, Morgan and Royal Arcades. Each suburb has its own salon streets too, from Cathedral Road in Pontcanna to Cowbridge Road East in Canton and Albany Road and Wellfield Road in Roath.
City centre salons pick up shoppers, while the suburbs suit renters with a settled local following. Renters work self-employed under an established salon's roof without signing a commercial lease.
Cardiff Central and Queen Street link the city to the Valleys and the Vale of Glamorgan. City centre parking is paid, which makes suburban salons in Whitchurch or Canton easier for clients who drive.
