Start A Barber Shop

Are you passionate about men’s grooming and looking to start a low-investment business with a high-profit margin? A barbershop can be a great business idea since it will never hit a low a season. Men and boys always look for grooming, no matter how bad the economy is.

Therefore, starting a barbershop can be a profitable business venture.

Here are some real life success stories of starting a barber shop:

1. Antonio’s Barber Shop ($1.5M/year)

Recognizing a gap in the market for old-school barbering in Malta, Antonio moved back and opened the official Antonio's Barber Shop with 8 chairs, quickly growing to 14 barbers across 2 locations. With an annual turnover of 1.5 million euros, Antonio's Barber Shop offers top-notch customer service, a range of grooming products, and a barbering academy.

How much they make: $1.5M/year
How much did it cost to start: $500K
