Just Cuts the way to a hairdressing franchise

“Buying a business, not a job” certainly applies to a Just Cuts franchise .

The opportunity for multi-store ownership is due to the simplicity of the Just Cuts franchise system. It is this franchise system that enables each outlet to operate smoothly with a team of fully qualified hairdressers who are people that love what they do and cannot be replaced by technology.

Typically an owner asks ‘where can I open my next one?’ within three to six months of starting a Just Cuts franchise. The 69 Just Cuts owners of the 140 salons manage their teams, their local marketing and other administration functions via a successful proven system.

Why is the Just Cuts franchise a success? The key to a successful franchise is the ability to market your local knowledge, your energy and entrepreneurship and apply them to a system that works. There is no need to have a degree in management or marketing, just the ability to take advantage of the Just Cuts franchise system that works and has done so since franchising of Just Cuts, which started in Hurstville, Sydney in 1990.

The Just Cuts franchise is a high-volume, minimum maintenance industry. The concept is simple – offering no appointments and fixed pricing. The salons are located in shopping centres and also in main street areas. One of the key factors of the Just Cuts franchise is the fixed fee structure of a service fee paid weekly and the fixed fee structure of an advertising fee paid monthly.

The hairdressing franchise partners come from all walks of life – accountants, airline attendants, bank managers. Rarely are they hairdressers. It is a business that is available to single people or couples. According to John Longmire, owner of Just Cuts salons in the ACT, "We were looking for more than one outlet, and a system which was affordable and had the prospect of longevity."
