This post is brought to you by Supercuts.
Have you ever thought about owning your own franchise? You’d be a business owner, and your own boss, if you started your own franchise. It does sound appealing, right? When you thought about the business you wanted to start, you might not have thought about starting a Supercuts franchise. But I want to debunk a few myths people might have about starting a Supercuts franchise.
Two Common Supercuts Franchising Misconceptions:
1. This business is for hairstylists. It’s not a serious business for people who aren’t hairstylists.
2. You need to know how to cut hair to open a Supercuts franchise.
These are both FALSE!
5 Truths about Supercuts Franchising
- The hair care industry is stable. It is a need based business, not a want based business. (Frozen yogurt is a want, but a haircut is a need, both in good times and in bad.)
- Cutting Hair cannot be made technologically obsolete.
- Services must be performed by a licensed professional. As a franchise owner you won’t ever be cutting hair, you will be in charge of running the business instead.
- It’s simple to own a Supercuts. You don’t have a high amount of staff, inventory costs are low, hours are especially reasonable compared to other franchise industries such as food, automotive, child care, fitness, etc.
- The Supercuts brand is widely recognized. It’s also backed by national advertising, robust web and mobile presence and the Supercuts brand is sought after nationally.
To learn even more about the Supercuts franchise, read the NPR article about this exciting business opportunity. (After reading more about it, I wanted to own 41 Supercuts franchises!)
I will be featuring Supercuts two more times in the next two months. I really like that this is a great opportunity for women to get into the business world. The next two Supercuts franchising posts will be:

Interesting! I’m not business minded so staring a business is not for me! This is great information for the women out there who are looking to expand!
I must admit, I wasn’t one to who thought starting a franchise would be fun or rewarding, but after reading about Supercuts, I am thinking I was wrong.
I actually don’t like Supercuts but I’m sure they’ve improved since I last swore never to go back. It’s nice that there are opportunities like this though. I am all for business growth!
I have one near a store I shop at and one day I went in and asked for some layers and my bangs to be cut – didn’t know the girl but she was super nice an did a great job. It was a spur of the moment thing and I was pleased. But I know that not all hair stylists are the same. Our local one is actually owned by Regis. Regis bought 1,000 Super Cuts franchises and I would go back to her for sure.
“The hair care industry is stable…” very true! I feel thats something to consider when looking to open a franchise.
I liked that point too. Hair cutting will never “go out of style”. It is a pretty safe business to start it seems.
OH MAN!! I wish I could afford to help my daughter get a Supercuts franchise. Great IDEA!
It is a good idea for someone who’s area could use a Supercuts, and who wants to get into the business world and be their own boss. I wish you could buy her one too 😉
I would have honestly thought that you would have needed to understand the hair industry to get into that
I have been hearing a lot about the franchise and it never occurred me.
