Make it snippy – the quick & easy way to own your own hair salon

Sarah Stowe

Every hairdresser dreams of opening their own salon, but with nearly 22,000 hair dressing outlets in Australia, in an industry that turns over an incredible 77 million dollars a week -competition is fierce. 
 
Building a business takes time, especially a hair dressing salon where reputation is everything and clientele are often loyal to established salons. There are marketing challenges to be considered, staffing, planning and financial concerns, along with choosing operating sites and negotiating leases. 
 
In a study into why most businesses fail, it was cited that 44% of all businesses suffered from poor strategic management and a lack of direction and planning – all factors which can be mitigated through franchising.
 
According to IbisWorld, revenue for Hairdressing and Barber franchises in 2013-2014 amounted to almost $340 million, a positive growth of 1.1 percent at a time when consumer spending has been suppressed.
 

Why Franchising?

 
Franchising can help to offset the initial teething problems most new businesses experience in the first few years of operation and as your brand grows.
 
For those looking for an easier entrance into the hair dressing industry, the Just Cuts franchise system offers a ready-made business and brand, that is supported by a turnkey system of work.
 
As a Just Cuts franchisee, you will benefit from a proven business model and franchise system, which allows you to leverage off the Just Cuts reputable brand, whilst at the same time providing you with all the industry ‘know-how’ you need to run a successful salon.
 
The franchise model includes support during site location and lease negotiation, through to in store training in every aspect of the business. 
 
Just Cuts offer face-to-face performance coaching on business fundamentals and forward planning, recruitment and retention, marketing and analytics, and much more. The training is specific to the individual salon, local area and demographic and the franchise owner, meaning you can focus on running the business or working on the shop floor, and not having to worry about where your next customer will come from.
 
Using a kiosk concept, a Just Cuts franchise is a financially viable and sustainable option for potential franchisees, with the option of owning a stand-alone salon, or becoming a multi-site franchisee further down the line.
Regardless of whether you are a hairdresser looking to step up your game, or an investor looking for a profitable business, the Just Cuts franchise model is designed to make business start-up easy.
