Barber Shop Franchises

Thanks to men who take pride in their grooming habits and value their appearance the demand for classy barber shops is on the rise. To cater to this demand there are a number of barber shop franchising options available. There are a couple of reasons why operating a barber shop franchise is a great choice for those who want to run their own business. Stability is a big factor, as hair continues to grow no matter what the state of the economy is, so it is a business that is recession resistant. Since men’s grooming is also such a fast-growing segment, it is a service with high demand. It is also a business where nothing spoils, so it involves less waste than other franchises such as restaurants. In addition to the backing of a well-established brand there are also other benefits to franchising when it comes to operating a barber shop. Depending on the franchise you choose, you’ll receive assistance with selecting the site of your shop and staffing as well as marketing and training. Operating as part of a franchise also often means better price negotiation and purchasing power for necessary products. Although a business premises is required to operate this type of service the start-up cost is generally moderate and the operating cost low. A barber shop is a necessity-based service and, unlike other types of franchises, there is no risk of it being replaced by an online alternative. Thanks to customer loyalty it is also easier to build up a loyal clientele base by offering a quality service. Modern barber shops typically offer all the services that were traditionally found in barber shops, such as haircuts, beard trims and hot shaves. Some franchises offer additional revenue streams through services such as retail products, body waxing and massages as well. Since it is the type of franchise that can be run by full-time managers there is no need for you to be present at all times. This means that you’ll not only have more free time, but can also easily open new locations if you want to grow the business. It also means that you don’t need to know anything about working in the grooming services industry yourself, either, as qualified staff will be taking care of all the work.
