This leading hair cutting franchise is looking for Area Developers to open Three Salons in Michigan. You will receive a discounted franchise fee for a three salon license. Veterans receive an additional discount.

This franchise has been offering franchises for the retail operation of stores since November 1995. The model grew from recognition that the old style barber shops were going away and that there were no locations that offered a well executed haircut at a decent price for guys. We developed the model to fit this need. We currently have over 700 stores operating across the US with 1000 licenses sold and approximately 300 franchisees.

The model is based on multi-unit ownership with our franchisees continuing to work at their full time careers as they build out the units. Typically, they will acquire 3 licenses. They are purchasing a business that allows them to have business ownership while they maintain their careers. When they do transition out they are still typically only vesting 12 to 15 hours per week on the business as it is a turnkey operation. We assist with the recruitment of the stylists and offer the staff training and ongoing operation support on an ongoing basis.
