Barbershops are recession-resistant because haircuts remain essential. During the 2008–2009 recession, the salon industry saw minimal decline and grew by 1.7% the following year. Demand stays strong as job seekers need to look sharp, professionals maintain their image, and people prioritize affordable self-care. The “lipstick effect” means consumers invest in small luxuries like haircuts when cutting back elsewhere. Unlike other industries, barbershops provide a stable and profitable business, even in downturns.

Our aim is to establish successful and profitable locations, conducting thorough research to avoid cannibalizing guests from existing outlets.
