🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 good luck!!!

awesome video bud, and interesting, am a barber from scotland.. a choose a different approach to it and i do mobile barbering, i love my job, and the reason a also choose this route, is to help others that cant leave there house and also do retired people as well. much love from scotland and keep those awesome videos coming, a new fan here :)
Thats awesome! I have a good friend that always suggested mobile barbering! So cool
@@Seancutshair aye its fun and relaxing, but at the same time rewarding, a just found your channel, your one cool guy. thx for your content man
Yesssir
Great IMFORMATION
Got a full series coming soon! Make sure you check that out!
helpful info bro
Appreciate it!
im thinking about opening up a shop but im not a barber, im more so opening it up because i want to open a business and ive always loved barbershops, giving barbers some opportunities is my goal but ive still got a bunch of stuff to think about
That’s awesome!
I’m the same way. I like the culture. But I’m not a barber lol
I wanna do the same but I’m scared 😳
I’ve been with a barber for 7 years and here I am ready to open my shop I have admired the work of a barber 💈
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
great tips! im no longer satisfied and happy at my shop. I want to grow and prosper! thinking about building a mobile barbershop maybe in vintage Airstream. :)
Sounds like time to do it!
Ty so much for the info I want to open up a barbershop I been in the industry almost 12 yrs and I’m tired of corporate 😢 I feel stuck like I can’t grow any further
Sounds like that’s the move!
I like watching your videos, I've been a barber for over 25 years. My pop nd older brother and me have a barbershop nd it has been around for 50 years, we have 10 barbers nd we pay them commission. Nd we take taxes away from them.so they get a w-2 at the end of the year. I would like to open another shop nd do the rent for my guys..but time will tell..keep them videos coming👍
The tax part would be nice for them for sure! That’s the hardest part
@@Seancutshair
How many chairs do u say u have? Nd how much do u rent the chairs? The newer barber shops here where I live do the same thing u do by renting chairs. But they have 15 16 chairs...I guess that's how the owners make a good profit
Eraaaaah!!!
😬😬😬
Forgive me Sean. Here i am commenting on several replies and comments, yet..... I havent taken a minute to acknowledge or conpliment your content! First off. . Congratulations. Great video. Great content. I love to hear the success stories!!! Wishing you tons of success and longevity!

WEK⚡SOS plate goes hard
💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
What about the liscince de we need liscince for that if we do then where we can get that and how can you please explain me this
Great video bro!!! Good barber talk how much you charge for your hair cuts?... good looking shop btw. Nice and clean!!
My haircut is $30
Seancutshair that’s a good price!! When you put in work you deserve every penny 👍
Thanks for the video brother! How much is booth rent per week? And do your barbers have a key to come in and cut when shop is closed/After hours cuts?
Booth rent was $150 but is now $200 since we’re headed to a brand new location. And yes they all have keys and are welcome to come and go as long as they let me know.
Thanks for the great tips bro
💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
I don't know what state you live in but the New York City every Barbershop stays pack with people.. it's also where you make a lot of money any simple haircut from 25 to $40.. any barber in New York City makes a lot of money I know because I'm also a barber... New York it's one of the best jobs you can do. Being a barber it's a form of Art.. the first Barbers go back to ancient Egypt.. and they were highly respected and honored they will also the doctors of medicine and the witch doctors.. opening up your own barber shop in New York is I'll gold mine most open up more than one.
You had the same ambition as I ..I will one day have a shop too ...and ima invite you over ...remeber the name of the town “ A-Town California”
💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Can’t wait to put this info to good use 🦾💈🔥
Good luck!
My barber is crazy talented. He has a huge clientele and he’s trying to get out of his shop. I offered to invest in his place for part ownership. Watched this to figure out if it would be worth it.
That’s dope! Hope it works out!
Hey Sean I like the way you think and love your content. How do you feel about mobile barbers? Currently live in Arizona and as you might know we had the highest spikes in the world. I do eventually want to own a shop but for now want to get a cargo trailer and operate one client at a time. What's your advice??
I don’t think it’s a bad idea. Not legal here in Kentucky but if it is there go for it! Just have to figure out how to make it work for you 👍🏻
@@Seancutshair thank you brother take care!!
Hey Sean, I was hoping that you would pull some numbers together even if they are fabricated ones to give a little more detailed information. I've been kicking that idea around of opening my own shop one day. Booth rent versus shop rent and how you pull all of that together would be awesome.
I’m gonna work on it at some point stay tuned!
I'm sure I'm too late with this answer. But I'll give you an idea. Add up all your expenses. Get some ideas what utilities will be. For example, I have apx 1200 Sq ft. I run a 25k BTU a/c, and my shop is well lit. My light bill comes to $800 bimonthly during the winter, and $1,500 during the summer. Add up all your expenses. Let's say that comes to $4,000 per month and you have 8 chairs, and 8 barbers....$4,000÷7= $571 (Per month per chair), not counting YOUR CHAIR. That breaks down to $142 per week. Per chair. Bit ideally, the odds of you having all 8 chairs full out the gate is slim. Also....you would need to find out what business model is the shops I'm your area using? Booth rent or percentage. As an owner you make WAY more money! But. That means you would HAVE to BE there to watch over your money! Feel free to message me for more tips, or if you need a mentor. My name is "Tiz The Locsmith". Master Barber/Master Stylist/Master Loctician/Ceo- International Cutmasterz Barbershop Inc., located in Selden, NY. Follow me on Google, Facebook, and Instagram (to name a few). I'm always open and available to share information or mentorship! Be well!
I agree with you it's better to charge rent then commission I as Barbarar wouldn't work in any Barber Shop where I have to pay commission my money is my money that I make..
💯💯💯
💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💯💯💯💯
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
What type of business model did you use to open your barber. Sole proprietor? LLC?
Didn’t have either until this past year. Just a sole proprietor
Do you do booth rent by month? Or weekly? Also, in your example the booth rent you made was enough to cover the shops rent/mortgage and expenses. Should that be how every shop owner figures out how much to ask for booth rent? And are there any other factors to decide that amount?
Booth rent is weekly. At the time I just made sure I could cover expenses. Now I wish it was enough to be more profitable. Just have to find the right number for you.
Hey 👋 I have a question: How to prevent cashiers and barbers stealing money together or not putting it into cassa ?
I don’t do commission or a register partially for that reason. Just makes things more difficult for everyone to have access to all the money
How much for the both rent. Do the both rent cover the store rent . How many chairs do ye meet to di something like that . Thanks man
Rent was 150 a week. And with enough chairs it covers the shop rent and bills and then some.
i love you
😬😬😬
We got this bro love from SoCal we on the same boat going in on 5th year
That’s what’s up! 🙌🏻
Good video.. dropped some knowledge.. I m surprised other barbers in yo re city don t support smdh.. What general state/city you re in? Just curious bro.. Keep up the good work
Small town in Kentucky. They all have old school shops that haven’t changed in 15+ years, vacuum clippers, and walk ins only. 🤷🏻♂️
Cool… I’m in Ohio.. I m a Barber but 4 yrs back my son used to go UK and every Barber around the school was messing his head up.. Wish I knew about your then lol.. I ll have to check you out next time I’m in Kentucky man.. As to walk ins can t do it anymore lol I notice clients respect you more when you re appt. only vs taking walk ins plus easier to raise prices so business wise it was smart… You re right.. That old way of thinking is dead Bruh..
We've opened up a barbershop but wondering what tools or purchases are needed to take cash payments and card payments for clients. Do we need a cash drawer. Point of Sale?
My barbers do their own point of sale. They take their own cash, Venmo or cashapp, and can use a square card reader if they want. If you wanted to run a system for everybody you could, but I don’t know much about that.
Is it a good business move to open a barber shop even tho i dont cut hair? Like renting chairs ects?
I’d say it can be with the right set up. At the moment I don’t make a ton from being the owner. Just have to make sure the numbers are right
Hey sean how does the partnership work ? Like i have an investor but i just dont see what his earnings would be. Can you give me a bit of advice
You could do a percentage of the profit at the end of the month. That would be the way I would do it unless you can get creative
After all this years, do you keep it all rent or do you also do comission ?
Just booth rent
What is the average booth rent in your area? I'm about to start barber college so I'm curious what I'm going to be looking at in that regard.
Minimum $150, we just went up to $230 but we charge double any shop in town
@Seancutshair that's weekly right?
What brand of barbering chairs you recommend.
All I’ve ever had are chairs from BuyRiteBeauty. I think they’re called K.O. Barber chairs. Affordable and have lasted pretty well
Your shop is so nice.. can I copy some of your decorations? Hahahaha just kidding. I'd like to have a shop like yours man. Can I get a shout out on your next video? Im from the Philippines.. boy-E the barber here.. thanks
Appreciate you! Stoked to have people subscribed from all over! Send a haircut in for feedback and I’ll put you in the next video.
Seancutshairfeedback@gmail.com
Please check your instagram inbox. I sent a photo of haircuts . Please ...
How much money would you say that you’ll need to start up? I know down the road you can do lil upgrades .
I put in about 18k including deposits for the unit and all equipment. Everything to open the doors
@@Seancutshair thank you brother ! I’m in the process right now to get some type of loan.
🎉
I wonder🤔...would it benefit you by supplying more content to do a live Q & A session for each video? It would be cool if we could ask u questions live. Just a thought🧠
Not sure how to go about that but that’s a good idea
@@Seancutshair instead of posting a Q &A and then answering the pre-read questions, hold it live. It would be more like holding a convo with you from the viewers POV, versus you reading them off.
More interactive. Anways, you're doing awesome homie! Just offering my sincere ideas hoping it helps.
Do you think it's possible to own a barbershop without actually being a barber? Do you actually have to cut hair in order to make profits?
Not necessarily. I make more income owning the shop from cutting hair, but it’d be possible to make income just from owning it. Just have to set it up the right way!
Of course not you don't have to be a barber to make money just need to have enough chairs in the barber to rent out.. I know a lot of people who are not Barber and own Barbershop..
When You Opened your Own Shop, How Far Did You Move From the original Shop that you Were Working In?
Not far. Probably a mile down the main road
Pls how mush coest barber shop project ?
I have a whole series on it with the cost of everything!
Wow man grate stuff bro. Wish I had a boos like you
$HOP . 8 BUCKS FOR OAP . AN ONLY 12 FOR DRH CUTS. I HATE THEM . RATHER BE IN A UP TO DATE SHOP .LOTD OF BARBERS NEEED NOW AFTER COVID.not my shop. Bro . Money grabbing shits.man
