Glasgow's Rainbow Room International Buchanan Street Salon Surpasses £1 million in Annual Revenue

Rainbow Room International's Buchanan Street salon has hit a record-breaking milestone, achieving more than £1 million in revenue during the last financial year

The Buchanan Street salon is one of 11 salons within the Rainbow Room International (RRI) group, which is home to salons in Glasgow, East Kilbride, Ayr, Clarkston, Uddingston and Bearsden.

The salon was the very first RRI salon to open in Glasgow in 1979 and, over the last financial year, has welcomed more than 10,000 client visits and delivered 4,500 colour applications. 

RRI is Scotland's largest salon group, which has won a multitude of awards over the years for its colour work and education, alongside praise for its artistic team. Company owners, Alan and Linda Stewart, were also awarded an OBE in 2021 for services to hairdressing.

About Buchanan Street's Directors

Wil and Shannon Fleeson 

Wil Fleeson and Shannon Fleeson are directors of the RRI Buchanan Street salon and took over the salon as their franchise in 2008. Wil previously worked at the Great Western Road salon, spending a decade as RRI's Creative Director whilst working on projects throughout the UK and around the globe, educating both internally and internationally, and being part of the Artistic Team. 

Wil is also a Registered Consultant Trichologist, opening one of his clinics in the Buchanan Street salon to support clients with hair loss concerns.

Wil Fleeson said: "Reaching more than £1 million in revenue during the last financial year is something we're incredibly proud of, but for us it's about much more than the number.

"It's a reflection of the incredible team we've built, the loyalty of our clients, and the systems and education that Rainbow Room International has invested in over many years.

"Creating a salon where our team can build long, successful careers while delivering an exceptional experience for every client has always been our priority, and this milestone shows what's possible when everyone is working towards the same goal."
