That’s right I am not a hairstylist but if I wanted to owns hair salon I could easily. I could own a Supercuts franchise an I don’t have to be a hairstylists. That is one of the misconceptions a out franchising. People think you have to be a hairstylist for this to be a serious business for you. You don’t even have to know how to cut hair!
If you own a Supercuts franchise you can have a licensed professional cut the hair. All you have to do is manage the business side. You don’t need a bunch if employees and there a low overhead. It’s simple to own a franchise and honestly unless everyone in the world went suddenly bald you don’t have to worry about business. The hair care industry is stable. Not to mention Supercuts is a nationally recognized brand!
I have a niece who is almost ready to get her license and a sister in-law who is one of the best stylists ever (if I do say so myself) and they have been discussing opening their own place together. I told them a Supercuts franchise is the way to go. They have decided that if they do open a place I should handle the business end because they just want to focus on hair. Well a franchise is the best way to allow each of us to focus on what we are good at and still have a family business.
Would you consider owing a Supercuts franchise?
I live in a small Georgia town that you most likely have never heard of and I LOVE it! My house is more than full as I am a single mother of four & caregiver to my aging mother and uncle. Lover of all things Outlander. Goes to the beat of her own drum woman.

I’d consider Supercuts because they are the ONLY small franchise I have been happy with in cutting girls/women’s hair. The guys have gone to others that were OK. I just remember the shop was friendly and the stylist who did my daughter’s hair completely transformed her and she LOVED it. I dont know about the business end of it but sounds very solid!
I had no idea that you didn’t need a license to own that franchise. But I think it would be better to have one. If it is my business then I want to be able to oversee all aspects of that business. Unless you have someone that you trust, and I mean really trust, you are putting your reputation in the hands of someone that you don’t even know. Should an issue arise with a haircut say, I don’t want to look like a complete idiot not being able to check the haircut and/or fix it. As a family business I think it might work.
Yes the legal aspect of it all would worry me. Just from being a paralegal I know all sorts of issues can arise if you don’t have the good sound business practices, people you can trust, and a little knowledge of the hair business. I’d consider partnering with a trusted associate so I wouldn’t have to go it alone.
I would never of even thought of it if I hadn’t read this post. You make a great case. If you are good in business then you don’t need to know how to cut hair. I would go for it if it was something that I felt a strong need to do. It sounds perfect for someone looking to start a business.
I would consider it because I like the idea of only having to deal with one side of the business. It would make everyone’s job so much easier in my opinion.
