Laser Hair Removal for Salons: A Guide to Boosting Profits

Laser hair removal is an extraordinary profit booster for forward-thinking salons. With rising demand and technological innovation making treatments safer and more comfortable than ever, salons equipped with the right laser system are uniquely positioned to gain loyal, year-round clients and expand services across all skin tones. This comprehensive guide covers the core business opportunity, explores each standout device from the British Institute of Lasers portfolio, and shows precisely how to introduce or strengthen laser hair removal in your own salon—building serious, scalable revenue in the process.

Laser Hair Removal: Britain’s Most In-Demand Aesthetic Service

Laser hair removal has overtaken botulinum toxin injections to become the country’s top-requested treatment (Rare Consulting). Around 5.6 million UK individuals are considering booking laser sessions in the coming year, with both women and men boosting numbers in nearly every region (Grand View Research). The market is predicted to rocket to approximately £73 million by 2030, at a healthy 17.2% annual growth rate.

• Demand by area: London, Birmingham, Leicester, and Glasgow lead—with Manchester rapidly catching up.
• Top treatment zones: Legs, bikini, arms, and underarms are by far the most popular booked areas (Professional Beauty).
• Repeat bookings: Each client generally requires at least 6 sessions, delivering fantastic scheduling predictability and retention.

The Financial Case: Stunning Profits at Every Scale

Laser hair removal stands out for recurrent appointments, repeat clients and understandably strong margins. The following scenarios show what even a modest service launch can mean:

These figures show that even modest volumes equate to a healthy stream, building toward a six-figure annual profit as salons gather momentum and clientele trust. Compare this with the market where 38% of UK beauty providers now offer laser or IPL, and it becomes clear: Laser hair removal is an exceptional match for entrepreneurial salons serious about growth and retention (Rare Consulting).

How to Add or Expand Laser Hair Removal at Your Salon

Launching or scaling laser hair removal does not require a leap into the unknown. Modern client expectations—driven by stronger safety, comfort and proven results—mean salons who wait too long may lose local relevance. Here’s a tried-and-tested four step roadmap:

• Assess your client base and aspirations: How many mult-session bookings do you average? Can you accommodate groups or family offers? Are you near an office, or does your business travel between locations?
• Choose your laser machine(s): See the three options from British Institute of Lasers to match size, space, and required treatment speed. Consult product specialists for more info or finance terms here.
• Complete your training/certification: Bring yourself or staff up to speed—this covers regulatory tick boxes and equips you for broader insurance policies.
• Promote your upgraded service: Announce launches on local ads, social media, and loyalty offers focused on results-driven permanent hair removal—pitched at a better client experience and greater value versus alternatives like waxing or at-home IPL tools. Marketing inspiration is always available in our advice on laser hair removal marketing for salons.
