Licensing differences between boroughs

Each council runs its own special treatment licensing, and processes, fees and timings can differ. You hold your own licence where your treatments need one, so contact the right council before you start trading:

• Barnet for North Finchley
• Camden for Finchley Road
• Islington for Holloway Road

If you plan to work across more than one branch, check each council separately. Our guide to special treatment licences in London explains what to ask.

How to choose your borough

Consider these factors in order:

1. Where your clients are: a shorter journey for clients usually means fewer cancellations.
2. Your own commute: especially for early or late appointments.
3. Budget: compare hourly, daily and monthly prices above.
4. Room needs: sink, space for equipment or a shopfront.
5. Licensing: confirm the council's requirements for your treatments.

Some practitioners use more than one branch, for example a regular day in Hampstead and another in North Finchley, to reach different client groups.

Reaching clients in each area

Each borough has its own character, so tailor your marketing to the people nearby. Mention the branch area by name on your website, social media and Google Business Profile, for example "beauty treatments in North Finchley" or "aesthetics on Finchley Road". This helps local clients find you when they search close to home.

Think about the times that suit local clients too. Areas with many commuters may favour early mornings, evenings and weekends, while others may suit daytime appointments. With 24/7 access at every SSV Suites branch, you can build a timetable around your clients rather than fixed opening hours.

Local partnerships can also help. Neighbouring businesses such as gyms, hairdressers and wellness practitioners often share clients who might want your services. A simple referral arrangement or a few printed cards can bring steady new bookings. If you work across two branches, keep separate notes on demand at each, so you can see where your time is best spent and adjust your hire pattern accordingly.

Quick checklist

• Map where your existing clients live.
• Compare prices for your likely hire pattern.
• Check the council for each branch you might use.
• View rooms in your shortlisted boroughs.
• Confirm insurance covers your chosen location.

Trying more than one borough

If you are unsure which borough suits you best, you do not have to choose straight away. Hourly and daily hire need no deposit or contract, so you can book a few sessions at two branches and see where your clients prefer to travel. Track bookings, cancellations and reviews for each location over a month or two. Remember to check licensing with each council you work in, and make sure your insurance covers every branch. Once a clear favourite emerges, a monthly room there lets you brand the space and settle in.
