Late Night Real Estate: The Beauty Shop on the Corner in New Orleans
Who would have thought that the most exotic sensation in the world right now would be hanging out inside with strangers? Certainly not us at Indoor Pool Real Estate! In the spirit of anticipating that, someday, customers will be able to see our nervous smiles and small talk will be made, we present an American Small Business Opportunity: The Corner Beauty Salon.
Located at 4000 Washington Ave. in the Broadmoor neighborhood of New Orleans, this location has been a few different beauty salons, most recently Beyond Bare. According to its listing on the Louisiana Commercial Database, it’s “charmingly named NOLA Beauty Stand.” With three small, private rooms—each with water hook-ups—and a break room with a washer and dryer, you’ll be all set for salon entrepreneurial ventures.
Plant some fake palm trees in the yard outside, and paint the exterior icy blue or a hot, hot pink! Turn each room into its own theme and sell party dresses to go with your customers’ manicures. The outside of the building is ripe for reinvention—a flirty building that’s the true definition of a corner locale. The inside is much more of a treat with each of the three rooms’ doors painted sherbet colors and the reception area lent some verve with ombre tie-dye baseboards.
Now, let’s talk neighbors. People leaving salons shouldn’t be far from their next good time! Your salon/museum is right across the street from the Red Rooster, which has, absolutely no funning, the most delicious-looking snacks and quick meals we’ve ever seen (sno-balls, po’ boys, yet ca mein, crawfish nachos, lord help us!) A little further down the street, Jazz It Up Lounge is described as a good place to have “a few shots of Patron and a margarita” or a “funeral repast.” Laurel Street Bakery offers bagels in a “homey neighborhood atmosphere.”
For $1,400 a month, you’ve got the Broadmoor beauty market cornered.
