Customer story

GLEAM Hair & Beauty

Gleam Hair & Beauty began searching for new premises in spring 2020 due to the challenges caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

GLEAM Hair & Beauty provides barber and hairdressing services as well as beauty care services. The company operated in the Pohjois-Tapiola area for 10 years. GLEAM Hair & Beauty’s previous premises were located in Spektri Business Park.

In spring, the coronavirus pandemic caused difficulties for the company due to reduced demand, prompting the search for smaller and more cost-effective premises.

“We have operated in the Pohjois-Tapiola area for 10 years, so we wanted new premises as close as possible to the familiar area and established customer base,” says Piia Pokki, cosmetologist and entrepreneur at GLEAM Hair & Beauty.

We were surprised at how smoothly the collaboration proceeded. Bureau's agent acted promptly, and the project did not experience any delays. Things took off quickly and the matter was handled thoroughly to completion. We are extremely satisfied with our new premises. We have ample space, but no unnecessary square metres.

The search for premises began in spring. The entrepreneurs viewed several spaces, but finding a suitable one proved difficult. GLEAM Hair & Beauty wanted premises with excellent public transport connections and available parking. "Finding spaces was challenging. There were many vacancies, but usually in the wrong location or too old buildings requiring extensive renovations," says cosmetologist entrepreneur Piia Pokki. "At the end of August, Bureau’s agent called about a salon space in Niittykumpu. Initially, the location felt too distant, but we decided to view the premises. After the viewing, we felt we had finally found the right space. Cooperation with both the agent and the owner was excellent. It felt like our needs were listened to and that they truly wanted to help. We were warmly welcomed and felt genuinely accepted," describes Pokki. GLEAM Hair & Beauty held its opening in the first week of November 2020. The new premises are located in Espoo at Kappelitie 6 B. Existing customers have found the new location, and the area benefits from good foot traffic thanks to the building’s services which continue into the evening. The company gained a new space in a visible ground-floor location.
