Why Buy into BarberShopCo? Here Are 10 Great Reasons
If you’ve regularly read our franchise blogs, you’ll know there’s plenty on offer—and plenty of reasons—why joining a well-run franchise system can fast-track your path to business success. From proven models to built-in support networks, franchising removes much of the guesswork.
And when it comes to premium men’s grooming, few brands offer the kind of opportunity that BarberShopCo does.
Whether you're an aspiring business owner or an experienced operator looking to diversify, here are 10 compelling reasons to consider owning a BarberShopCo franchise.
1. A Recognised & Respected Brand
BarberShopCo has carved out a strong position in the premium men’s grooming market in New Zealand. With its striking store designs, sharp branding, and consistently high service standards, the brand attracts a loyal and growing customer base. As a franchisee, you’ll trade under a name that’s already known and trusted—saving years of effort building brand equity from scratch.
2. Proven Business Model
This isn’t a new concept being tested on your watch. BarberShopCo’s business systems, tools, and processes have been refined through years of real-world experience. From POS systems to inventory management and team scheduling, every part of the business is designed to run efficiently and profitably—giving you confidence from day one.
3. Comprehensive Training & Ongoing Support
Franchisees are thoroughly trained before launch, with ongoing mentoring and support across operations, staff management, financial performance, and customer experience. You’ll never feel like you’re going it alone—there’s always someone in your corner with the expertise to help you succeed.
4. No Industry Experience Required
You don’t need to be a barber, stylist, or have a background in grooming. Many successful franchisees come from corporate, retail, or customer service roles. What’s needed is leadership, a people-first mindset, and the desire to build a great team and a great business.
5. Predictable, Recurring Revenue + Additional Retail Sales
Haircuts are a repeat service. Most clients return every 3–6 weeks, providing your business with a consistent, predictable revenue stream. But it doesn’t stop there, BarberShopCo also offers a curated retail product range, including premium grooming products designed specifically for the modern man. These products not only enhance the customer experience but also provide an additional high-margin revenue stream that complements your core service offering. Together, these create a robust, well-rounded business model that supports long-term growth and profitability.
6. Attractive, Available Territories
BarberShopCo still has premium territories available across the country, including high-growth suburbs and underserved regions. Early adopters can secure exclusive rights in valuable locations and benefit from long-term territorial protection and brand loyalty.
7. Premium Fit-Outs that Set You Apart
Each location is professionally designed with quality finishes, modern furnishings, and a consistent brand aesthetic. Customers notice the difference and they keep coming back for more. The experience is deliberately different from your typical barbershop, creating a real point of difference in a competitive market.
8. Marketing Firepower
You’ll benefit from national brand campaigns and a professional digital marketing strategy that includes SEO, paid ads, social media, and promotions. On top of that, you'll receive support to build your local profile—via community events, partnerships, and smart local advertising that drives foot traffic to your store.
9. Strong Unit Economics & Room to Grow
Each BarberShopCo location is designed to be profitable and operationally efficient. From fit-out and staffing models to pricing and service flow, everything is built to develop and support a healthy business. As a result, many franchisees see strong returns—and the business model doesn’t stop at one shop. Several successful franchisees have already expanded their footprint, going on to open second and third locations within the network. If you’re looking for a business you can scale, this is it.
10. A Resilient, Expanding Industry
Men’s grooming is an industry that continues to grow, as more men embrace regular grooming as part of their lifestyle. The business is also less susceptible to economic cycles—haircuts remain an affordable, recurring expense that most men prioritise, even during downturns.
