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.

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.
