At Flexspace, we don’t just rent out commercial business units; we provide the foundation for ambitious entrepreneurs to bring their grandest visions to life. The latest addition to our thriving community at Flexspace Blackpool Business Park, Victoria J’s Hair Studio, stands as a shining testament to what can be achieved when a creative business owner meets a flexible, supportive commercial environment.
A Seamless Journey: From Keys to Customisation
Taking on a new commercial property can often feel quite daunting, but our core mission at Flexspace is to ensure the entire move-in process is as smooth, transparent, and easy as possible. From the moment an initial enquiry lands with us, our dedicated on-site teams step in to handle the heavy lifting.
For Victoria, the journey from looking at an empty business unit to running a fully operational premium hair salon was made seamless through the end-to-end guidance of our Blackpool Site Manager, Gemma. Our site managers act as true commercial partners, helping occupiers evaluate a business unit’s footprint, talking through structural or aesthetic alterations, and guiding them through the application and approvals process without unnecessary red tape.
“From the initial enquiry to handing over the keys, I supported the occupier through every stage of securing and transforming their Flexspace unit. After arranging the viewing and talking them through the terms, I guided them through the application, approvals, and move-in process to make sure everything was clear and straightforward. Once they took possession, it was brilliant to see how they turned the empty unit into a stunning, fully fitted hair salon.” — Gemma, Flexspace Blackpool Site Manager
The Art of the Alteration: Maximising Your Business Unit
One of the greatest advantages of choosing a Flexspace unit is its versatility. We actively encourage occupiers to look at our spaces as blank canvases. Whether you need to install bespoke layout zoning or alter the interior aesthetics to match your brand identity, our site managers are on hand to offer expert advice on how best to approach the space.
By working collaboratively with Gemma to establish what alterations were needed, Victoria was able to unlock the true potential of the commercial unit. Our lease terms and adaptable layouts mean businesses aren’t boxed into rigid formats; instead, they have the ultimate freedom to design an environment that perfectly serves their operational workflows and customer experience.
An Incredible Vision: The Transformation
When Victoria took possession of the keys, the unit was entirely empty, bare a few desks and chairs. What followed was an incredible display of design vision and hard work. Victoria transformed the space into a stunning, modern, and accommodating hair salon that beautifully balances contemporary functionality with a warm, vibrant aesthetic.
The new layout features distinct styling stations, professional backwashes, and an inviting reception area, proving that with the right vision, a clean business unit can become a luxury retail and hospitality space. By integrating rustic wooden elements, ambient lighting, and an open, airy flow, Victoria J’s Hair Studio has established a calming oasis where clients can escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Why Flexspace Blackpool was the Perfect Fit for Victoria J’s:
- Location & Accessibility: Excellent regional transport links and hassle-free, ample on-site parking for clients and staff.
- The Freedom to Adapt: Comprehensive support from on-site management to discuss, approve, and execute custom interior alterations.
- Strategic Collaboration: Proximity to complementary businesses, allowing for powerful cross-promotional client experiences.
25 Years of Passion: Victoria’s Journey & Vision
Behind every great transformation is an inspiring story. Victoria has been hairdressing since the age of 15, dedicating 25 years to refining her craft and doing what she truly loves. For her, the industry has always been about far more than just hair; it’s about making people feel extraordinary.
“I’ve had Victoria J’s Salon for four and a half years, and while I’ve loved every moment, I knew it was time to grow into a space that better suited both me and my team. The right surroundings make such a difference, from location and parking to accessibility and having enough space to really work our magic. When I found Flex Space, I instantly knew it was the perfect fit.” — Victoria, Owner of Victoria J’s Hair Studio
That passion is shared across her tight-knit team. Victoria is joined by three incredible stylists who have worked together for over 20 years. This rich history of mutual support and shared high standards deserved an environment that matched their professionalism.
The vision was clear: to create a welcoming, calm environment focused entirely on a premium client experience. Furthermore, the studio’s close proximity to Urban Retreat at the Blackpool site opens up an exciting collaborative synergy. Clients can now seamlessly plan an entire day of self-care, combining luxurious spa treatments with a premium hair appointment all in one convenient trip.
Bringing this dream to life required immense behind-the-scenes dedication, with Victoria and her family putting in tireless hours of hard work alongside a full-time client schedule. The result is an inspiring, modern business hub that stands as a benchmark for what independent brands can build within a Flexspace community.
