Why you don’t have to be a hair stylist to own a Just Cuts franchise

David Mathie, head of franchising, explains how Just Cuts provides everything you need to be a successful salon boss

While embracing digital transformation within its service offering, Just Cuts continues to grow its salon footprint - as you just can’t get your hair cut online.

Throughout this time, the hairstyling salon has tried, tested, and refined its systems to ensure it works and will continue to work for salon owners across the world. However, that doesn’t mean you have to be a qualified hairdresser to invest in this lucrative opportunity.

David Mathie explains why and what’s next for the internationally known franchise.

Hairdressing will never go online, so how do you evolve a 34-year-old salon model?

David: You don’t need any hairdressing industry experience to own a successful Just Cuts salon, and over half of our 123 franchisees own more than one location. Based on a no-appointments, walk-in system, Just Cuts performs more than 100,000 weekly Style Cuts across Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan, and the UK.

While our core business offering hasn’t changed in 30 years, we’re continuing to evolve to meet the changing needs of our clients and salon owners:

• Clients can check in digitally ahead of their visit via our Just Cuts loyalty app to earn rewards
• Salon owners are provided with a professional haircare range formulated by stylists to grow transaction values
• Franchisees can monitor salon productivity, stylist cut rate, and sale volumes using our smartphone app

How do you set up new salon owners for success?

With our site selection focused on high foot traffic locations to maximise the value of our walk-in promise, we’ve refined our model so you can spend more time working on your business, not in it.

With built-in global transferability, thanks to a timeless USP built on convenience, Just Cuts’ success stems from how we continue bridging the gap between barbers and high-end hair salons for clients.

And when you join the collaborative Just Cuts community of salon owners, you’re never on your own. The Just Cuts franchising family employs more than 3,500 stylists globally, and we’re investing
in more recruitment solutions including government subsidised apprenticeships.

Why is now a good time to invest in a Just Cuts franchise?

Just Cuts uses a fixed price model. Regardless of the economy, hair never stops growing and high-quality haircuts at great prices position our brand as a cut above the rest. With the rising cost of living, Just Cuts continues to grow globally as consumers increasingly choose brands that offer the most value.
