Many people dream of becoming their own boss but have no idea where to start. Franchises take the guess work out of running your own business. There are different types of franchising opportunities. Supercuts is one of them. Not a hairstylist? Not a problem! You don’t need to know how to cut or style hair to open a Supercuts franchise.
To become a franchisee, you’ll pay an upfront fee to get started + a percentage of total sales. In return, you’ll receive marketing, training and more from the franchisor. They basically give you the keys to the brand from the signage, lighting, flooring — everything that makes the brand what they are.
When considering the franchise you’d like to open, you need to focus on what makes a business successful. Does it offer consumers something they need? Will the business eventually become obsolete due to technology?
If you have hair, you’ll eventually need a haircut. There will always be a need for haircut salons making the industry a stable one. Since services must be performed by a licensed professional, you’ll be in charge of running the business instead of actually being a stylist (though you could do that too, if have that capability!)
Supercuts franchises only need a small number of staff. The inventory costs are low too. The hours are reasonable compared to your other franchise options such as food, fitness, automotive and childcare businesses. The Supercuts brand is already widely recognized and sought after nationwide. 
For five years in a row, Supercuts was #1 in the Haircare category and #5 overall in the 2013 Franchise 500.
There are multiple streams of income within the Supercuts franchise:
- Haircuts: Including three haircut options: the Supercut™, the Supercut Jr.™, and the Supercut Sr.™
- Salon Services: Supercuts salons offer a full range of services that include: shampoo conditioning treatments, blow dry/styling, beard/band trim, hair coloring, waxing, and a Tea Tree Experience.
- Hair Products: Supercuts offers an assortment of some of the most popular brands in hair products including: Paul Mitchell, Matrix Biolage, Redken, It’s a 10, Nioxin, and American Crew.
Your role as a franchisee may include the following:
- Recruiting a strong staff
- Establishing ties to your local community
- Selecting and implementing marketing plans
- Building income by executing company strategies
- Empowering employees by delegating responsibility
- Working with Regis to ensure the growth of your company
