Build Your Business Empire with BarberShopCo: A Scalable, Profitable Franchise Model
At BarberShopCo, we don’t just offer haircuts—we offer a path to real business success. For entrepreneurs seeking a profitable and scalable franchise opportunity in a resilient industry, BarberShopCo provides a proven model that delivers results. In fact, every franchisee in our current network is a multi-unit owner, having grown their footprint beyond a single location. Why? Because the model works—and it scales.
A Business Model Built for Growth
What makes BarberShopCo different? Our franchise model is built with scalability at its core. With clearly defined, exclusive territories, franchisees are empowered to expand without competing against their own network. From operational systems to marketing support, every component of the BarberShopCo framework is designed to make multi-unit ownership not just possible—but achievable.
Take David Osborne, for example. He stepped into the BarberShopCo family in the midst of a global pandemic and now operates two thriving stores in Takapuna and Milford. With no previous experience in barbering, David leveraged his management background and the franchise’s robust support structure to hit the ground running. “The flexibility I have with my time is a real benefit. It allows me to be there for my family,” he says—proof that the business is not only profitable, but personally fulfilling.
Franchisees Who Scale, Time and Time Again
David’s story is not unique within the BarberShopCo network. Rob and Nina expanded to their second store within a year, driven by strong initial performance and the operational efficiencies embedded in the brand. Their division of roles—Rob on operations, Nina on marketing—demonstrates how the franchise can cater to diverse skill sets and create real synergy for owner teams.
Similarly, July and Luiz went from customers to store owners, scaling from their flagship store in Tauranga to a second in Mt Maunganui. Their passion, planning, and dedication to community connection enabled them to thrive, even in a tough economic environment. “Processes are exactly the same,” says July, “and because the CBD store runs pretty smoothly, we don’t feel the pull or ‘need’ to be present at both locations all the time.”
No Industry Experience Needed—Just the Right Mindset
Whether you come from sport, sales, management, or marketing, success at BarberShopCo doesn’t require barbering experience. What it does require is leadership, dedication, and a commitment to building a great team culture.
Matt Cameron, a former BMX coach and now a multi-store owner, put it best: “Owning the store, you are in control of your own destiny. If you want more, you work harder, and you get rewarded.” His ability to build strong teams and mentor staff has been central to his success—proving that people, not just profit, are at the heart of the BarberShopCo ethos.
The Bottom Line: A Smart Investment in a Growing Industry
BarberShopCo is New Zealand’s leading men’s grooming franchise for good reason. With rising demand for premium grooming services, a strong brand reputation, and a business model that encourages—and supports—growth, this is more than just a job. It’s a long-term investment in your financial future.
If you’re driven, people-focused, and looking for a business that grows with you, then BarberShopCo could be the perfect fit. Every franchisee in our network started with a single store—and now owns more. Why not you?
