Hair salons & barbers · Ireland

Hair salon &
barber loans.

Upgrade the chairs, refresh the salon or keep cash flowing between busy weeks. We arrange finance for hair salons and barbers, with funding options that suit how your customers pay.

Merchant cash advance

For salons and barbers taking card payments.

  • From 6 months trading
  • Typically €5,000 or more in monthly card takings
  • Repaid as a share of your card sales
  • Quieter weeks mean smaller repayments

Salon fit-out & equipment

For chairs, wash stations, dryers and a fresh fit-out.

  • Hire purchase or leasing on suitable equipment, up to 7 years
  • Term loans for refurbishment and working capital
  • Unsecured term loans from 12 months trading
  • Flexible repayment loans from 9 months trading

Finance is subject to the lender’s assessment. Unsecured term loans require at least 12 months trading, one year’s accounts, turnover of €100,000 or more, a net profit and no recent missed payments. Flexible repayment loans require steady cash flow — around 8 or more deposits a month. Loans are not registered against property or business assets, but many lenders ask for a director’s personal guarantee.

Common questions

Can I finance new salon chairs and wash stations?

Yes — suitable equipment can be funded through hire purchase or leasing. For a wider refurbishment, a term loan may be a better fit. We can help you compare both options.

Do repayments change with my bookings?

A merchant cash advance is repaid as a share of card takings, so quieter weeks bring smaller repayments. A term loan has a set repayment schedule.

Can a salon under a year old apply?

A merchant cash advance may be available from 6 months trading with steady card takings. Flexible repayment lenders look from 9 months, while unsecured term loans require at least 12 months and a year’s accounts.
