Liverpool (Liverpool Standard)May 30, 2026-Liverpool is losing another established retail presence as Sally Hair and Beauty on Lord Street announced it will shut its doors after a decade of operation within the Liverpool ONE shopping complex. As reported by the Liverpool Echo, the store located at number 68 Lord Street has confirmed its impending closure with a closing down sale offering selected items at 70% off.

What Is Driving This Store Closure After a Decade?

The team behind Sally Hair and Beauty expressed their sorrow in an official statement released to customers. “It is with deep sadness we announce that Lord Street be closing early in this year,” the statement read. The company, which originated in the United States in 1964 before venturing into the UK market, will end its ten-year presence on one of Liverpool’s prominent streets.

The store has begun displaying posters in its windows indicating that customers will need to wait until next month to see updates regarding the location. Currently, the closing down sale is underway, with the entire team encouraging patrons to visit before final closure and take advantage of significant discounts on selected lines.

When Will Sally Hair and Beauty Permanently Close Its Doors?

According to the official announcement, the Lord Street location will close early in July 2026. However, some social media posts from the store’s Instagram account indicated that Sunday, May 31, would mark their final day in business. This discrepancy suggests the closure timeline may have been adjusted or that different aspects of the closure process are occurring across different dates.

The team shared with their extensive social media audience the closure details, thanking customers for their support over the last decade. “Before we shut our doors for the last time, come in and take advantage of our closing down sale with selected items at 70% off,” the statement continued.

How Does This Closure Fit Into Broader Liverpool Retail Trends?

The closure of Sally Hair and Beauty is not isolated to this single retailer. As reported by the Liverpool Echo earlier on Friday, May 29, this announcement comes amid a wave of retail changes affecting Liverpool city centre. The ECHO reported that Lost Soles, another Liverpool shop loved by Steven Gerrard, is also shutting with a closing sale, with Sunday, May 31 marking its final day.

Liverpool has already lost other recognized retailers recently. Claire’s Accessories at Liverpool ONE officially ceased operations over the weekend of Saturday, April 25, 2026, after an extended winding-down phase. The fashion accessory chain had entered administration on August 13, 2025, but was subsequently saved by Modella Capital, an investment firm that acquired a majority of the company’s assets and operations. Despite this rescue, the agreement preserved just over half of the chain’s 300 locations across the UK and Ireland, leaving 148 outlets closed and approximately 1,000 jobs jeopardised.

The broader outlook for UK high streets remains challenging. Five prominent retailers, including Poundland and River Island, announced closures on UK high streets in 2026. Poundland has already closed several locations as part of restructuring efforts and plans to shut an additional 32 stores in early 2026, bringing the total number of closures to 100, as reported by the Express. River Island announced the closure of 32 of its stores as part of a broader restructuring effort to tackle ongoing financial struggles, including a reported loss of £33.2 million in 2023 due to a 19% decline in sales.

What Has Liverpool ONE Management Said About Recent Store Changes?

A representative for Liverpool ONE shared with the ECHO information about other retail changes occurring at the complex. “Chopstix is undergoing a refurbishment. It closed on Monday, May 18, and is anticipated to reopen in mid-June,” the representative stated.

Liverpool ONE has also announced initiatives to bring new retail presence to the complex. In April 2026, Liverpool ONE revealed a fresh retail area within their Information Centre aimed at giving local artists the chance to showcase and sell their work for limited durations. New traders will appear every few months in this initiative. Additionally, online fashion retailer Club L London set up a pop-up shop in the complex coinciding with the Grand National festivities.

Which Other Stores Have Recently Closed at Liverpool ONE?

The Vintage Store in Liverpool ONE is set to close its doors after less than two years in business. The huge vintage clothes shop opened inside Liverpool ONE in May 2022 but announced it was closing down its outlet. This closure occurred as Hollister Co opened its doors at Liverpool ONE, with the complex facing the closure of another store occupying 12,000 sq ft that had been open little more than a year.

The pattern of closures at Liverpool ONE continues to affect the shopping complex’s retail landscape. Each closure represents not just a business decision but also impacts the employment and service availability for Liverpool residents and visitors.

Background of This Development

Sally Hair and Beauty operates as part of a larger enterprise that originated in the United States in 1964 and subsequently ventured into the UK market. The Liverpool Lord Street store is located at 68 Lord Street, Liverpool, L2 1TL, within the Liverpool ONE shopping complex. The store offers hairdressers supplies and operates a barbershop facility.

The store’s operating hours are Monday through Saturday from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm, with Sunday hours from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm. The closure announcement came through both official statements and social media channels, including the store’s Instagram account @sallyliverpoollordstreet.

The company’s UK presence has faced challenges alongside broader retail industry pressures. The Liverpool location had operated for exactly 10 years before announcing closure, marking a full decade of service to Liverpool customers.

Prediction: How This Development Affects Liverpool Shoppers and Local Economy

The closure of Sally Hair and Beauty after 10 years will directly affect Liverpool residents who have relied on this Lord Street location for hairdressers supplies and beauty products over the past decade. Customers who previously visited the store will need to seek alternative suppliers, potentially traveling to other locations or purchasing online.

For Liverpool ONE as a shopping destination, this closure contributes to ongoing concerns about retail vacancy rates in the city centre. With multiple stores closing including Claire’s Accessories, The Vintage Store, and now Sally Hair and Beauty, the shopping complex faces pressure to attract new tenants quickly to maintain visitor appeal.

The closure also reflects broader UK high street challenges that will continue affecting Liverpool shoppers. With Poundland planning 32 additional store closures in 2026 and River Island closing 32 stores nationwide, Liverpool residents should expect continued retail consolidation. This trend may limit product availability and reduce competition, potentially leading to higher prices for remaining shopping options.

Employment impact extends beyond the immediate store closure. The Claire’s administration alone jeopardised approximately 1,000 jobs across 148 closed outlets. Similar employment losses accompany each Liverpool store closure, affecting local workers who may need to seek employment elsewhere in the city centre or online retail sectors.

Liverpool shoppers should anticipate increased emphasis on pop-up shops and temporary retail arrangements, as seen with Club L London’s pop-up and the Information Centre artist initiative. This shift toward temporary retail may reduce the consistency of shopping options available to local customers while providing opportunities for emerging local businesses to test the market.
