If everything goes well I'll be documenting the whole process of opening a barbershop. We'll look at things like size, location, foot traffic, buildout cost, etc. If you are interested in opening your own barbershop make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss any of the process!

As someone who wants to own a shop in the future, I appreciate the transparency and how simply you broke down the financial side of it 🙏
Wait til you see the rest of the series!!!
Currently opening a barber school in Phoenix. I STUDIED this entire series and they have been so helpful with my journey. Probably one of the most useful tips I received from Sean was to negotiate the lease. If I hadn’t watched his videos I wouldn’t have gotten 3 months at 1/2 rent and all utilities covered besides electricity for my commercial space. Before watching Sean’s videos I didn’t even know you could negotiate lease terms but you most certainly can. Make sure to be firm when negotiating. Decided to come back to this video to leave this comment for others to see. Might seem scary at first but my biggest advice is to just jump right into it after you’ve done your research and planning. Don’t plan forever or you’ll just be stuck hesitating and never do it. It was scary for me at first and I had doubts of course. But the further I progressed the more excited I became knowing it’s becoming more real everyday. Now I’m set to open in 2 months. If I can do it you can do it also!
Congratulations Sean!! You have come a long way!! I'm happy to see you thriving and creating a legacy for your family. Also providing jobs, knowledge and expertise for up and coming barbers.
Appreciate it! That’s exactly what I’m doing it for

@@Seancutshairyou welcome!!
First! Congratulations! Good luck with the new era.
Also I am also thinking about opening new shop in my country
Thank you! You should!!!
@@Seancutshair I am :)
Wow I can’t believe I found this channel. Amazing content. I’m excited to watch the rest of this open shop series. I got a question, do you have to be a barber to own a barber shop?
Depends on your state but in Kentucky you don’t have to be a barber
Saluté my man that’s awesome! 🤙🏼
Appreciate it!!
Thanks for the insight on what it takes and what goes into opening a business! 💎 also where can we get that grey hoodie you got?
We sell them every now and then. Make sure you’re following me on Ig and any time we drop merch I will post it
Thanks for sharing your profit, a lot of shop owners wouldn’t have said that part
Man I always try to be transparent. I’m setting you up for failure if I tell some but not all and you get into it without all the facts!
Congrats! i love ur content, do you think you can make a video on the TPOB blackout set. Is it better to open a barber shop or a private suite?
I had that set a while back but didn’t do a whole video on it. If you have clientele a suite isn’t a bad idea, if you’re starting a shop is probably better
will you ever do a video on it @@Seancutshair
🔥🔥🔥
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Location is so important I once worked in a shop it was nice plenty of parking but walk in call ins was poor we did everything from promotion ( that cost us nothing the promoters did all the work) we got new customers but as there package was all used up they went back to there barber or stylist the promoter did target clients with money. Our place was located In A busy road with business that call for going in and out no time to notice us
Yeah gotta make sure it’s the right spot!
Dude your the fucken goat for this...
Got more where this came from!
Will you show the legalities aswell? Like, codes and stuff. What the city requires. And chairs, Who you go through? Are they wholesale? How you determine the lighting, Aswell as DONT dos for the shop!
Those are just some of the things I’d like to see
Edit*. And how to build a website for it also!
All good points I’ll try to hit! Definitely have an equipment video coming, also will do a video of me assembling everything as we set up. Will try and do one about laws and leases and all that 👍🏻
Have you ever considered purchasing a stand alone building? I've seen shops come and go bc the plaza they were in raised the rent so high they could no longer afford it. The rent for shop I last worked at started at $4K and is now up to $8K. I know purchasing a property may seem costly, but in the end, once you pay off the property, you are banking and not having to pay $3750+ in perpetuity. Plus, you now own property which is part of your business portfolio.
Yeah I’ve thought about it. Problem here is anything else that’s in a decent spot is already bought up.
Sean can you go in detail about the outlets and the blow dryers outputs required?
I don’t know if I’ll do a whole video because I don’t know all the technicalities of it. More or less one 15amp fuse can’t handle more than one blowdryer. So a whole wall with 5 is a problem. 20amp fuse can probably handle two, so they’re putting each of the 5 receptacles on a separate 20 amp fuse
@@Seancutshair ohhhh okay thank you so much for the reply I appreciate it!
Sean… I have done it in NY. I stay slammed but as you know it’s not the same reason why barberconyc is not even happening in NYC… the place is gonna blow. Once they get a hold of the level that’s about to change their minds forever. I’m getting ready to hit that move button myself. 1300sf for one guy is just crazy… after 5 years… people are different. Down by you and Tx and Florida an Az it’s a different world.
Yeah that’s crazy!
Dude. I’m not kidding one bit. The versastyles is locked and loaded. i spoke to lee about doing this move, the very first thing out of his mouth was "what, are you gonna manange it for him" , so i guess that level of confidence from the big dog himself was refreshing. that was said in person, so yea. i justwant to come down asap to check out the area and make a plan of action.
Congratulations 🍾 on the first successful launch 🚀 and now looking for another launch 🚀 BLESSINGS AND I WILL BE PICKING YOUR BRAIN FOR INFORMATION BECAUSE IM ABOUT TO START MY FIRST BARBERSHOP 💈 SOON AND YOU REALLY WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND FOR SUCCESS. Thank you for sharing this is my dream and after my BBA DEGREE I WILL HAVE SOME NICE CONTENT COMING AND I ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS.
I got so many gems coming! Everything you’d need to know to open a shop!
Where can I find the hoodie you’re wearing at the end?
It’s my shop merch
🔥🫡 congratulations 🎉
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Im been cutting 15 yrs and finally going to my own suite..im fcuking terrified.
Don’t be! You got this!
When you were negotiating getting a discounted rate for your first 6 months, did they agree to this after you signed a long term lease? Because that would be a massive help in opening a shop and taking some stress off in the opening stage. Super informative video this was my only question though!
Yes so I asked for that deal but agreed to sign a 5 year lease which was more than what they started with. That way they’re “losing” up front but gaining in the long run
@@Seancutshair that’s tough! thank you so much for the help!! 🫡🫡
Maaaan US rent is so cheap!! For that kind of space in Denmark is like: +6000dollars a month
👀👀👀
where would you find places like this as someone without any knowledge of commercial realtors
Just drive around town and look for units for lease. There everywhere!
how much did cost to renovate the place ?
They’ll be paying for it but around 10k I’d guess
@@Seancutshair does the 10k include setting up the stations and design ?
👀👀👀
😬😬😬
Yo Sean I'm about to start barber school this February and I was wondering if you thought it would be smart to take a 10-15k business loan out when I get out of school to start a solo barbershop. I live in a small town of about 5k people and we only have 1 barbershop and a few salons. The one barber has weird hours and people complain about it. Do you think this would be a smart financial decision? He's also older and I wanna bring a new style to bring to the younger generation, Appreciate any feedback from anyone!
If your young and living at home and fresh out of school you could easily get a job (not related to barbering) and save up some cash. A few 1000 is possible. It’s hard to make good money cutting hair with little experience. However if you do qualify and build up some cash you could look for a small corner of maybe a fitness centre or grocery store. 5k is very small population bro I recommend getting in a well established barber shop if you can because even fresh out of barber school there is still LOTS of learning to do. But it’s your life so you do what you like and enjoy cutting hair bro :)
Most of the time I would say opening a solo shop brand new is risky. Sounds like in your case people are looking for another option so not a bad idea. Especially if your only other option is to work at the other shop lol. I think it could work
@@Seancutshair thanks for the advice!
