Business Plan
In the next 5 years I would, like to have bought the whole building this shop is in and use the whole bottom half of the building to provide a whole barbershop lounge and also a barber school and learning center. with that also putting in forth possibly another location. Investors should invest in me because I don't just do this and provide a barbershop lounge for myself but I do this because I Love this. I love the experience I have with everyone in this shop. I work hard to go from renting a chair in a shop, to having a small studio and then opening a Full barbershop in just under 3 years. I want to continue this for my kids and for this community

Self Identified Competition
My top 3 competitors they all do the same traditional barbershop things. They all have really good barbers and shops different shops but my shop allows men, women and children to come in and lounge around and converse. and get back to enjoying time like that. What's different about me is I'm always trying to advance and add to what we have here. I want not just me to advance but everyone who works here and also that comes in to enjoy the experience, haircut and just walking out learning something and applying that to their life. I care and love everyone I get to talk to and listen to its not just a haircut, its a relationship with everyone
