Did you know some hairdressing franchises have been operating for more than two decades?
Heritage hairdressing brands
Just Cuts began trading back in 1980 when founder Denis McFadden spotted a gap in the market for no-appointment, affordable haircuts.
Today the brand has a network of more than 200 hairdressers across Australia and New Zealand.
The appeal of this iconic hairdressing brand to the consumer remains the no-appointments approach and the cost. For the franchise buyer, the attraction of the brand is the systemised processes and the investment model – franchisees do not need to be hairdressers.
In 2022 FRANdata named Just Cuts 5-star franchise for its franchise performance.
It costs from $170,000 to purchase a Just Cuts business, and franchisees sign up for a five year term.
Franck Provost was founded in France in 1975, began franchising 20 years later and arrived in Australia in 2008. This brand has a significant international footprint – 700 outlets – with 14 hair salons in Australia.
Glamour and premium styling are the bywords for this iconic brand, which brings a dash of Gallic chic to the hairdressing scene.
It remains family-owned, and offers franchisees the opportunity to provide Parisian techniques, styles, and five-star experience for customers.
Franck Provost offers five-year franchise terms; investment starts at $250,000.
British barbershop is an iconic brand
Truefitt & Hill brought its British royal heritage to these shores in 2022, boasting an iconic status that stretches back to 1805 when founder William Truefitt opened a grooming business in London’s high society neighbourhood, Mayfair.
The prestige barbers has since expanded to Australia, Azerbaijan, Canada, China, India, Kuwait, Malaysia, South Korea, Thailand and the US.
In Australia this iconic hairdressing brand has outlets in Melbourne and Canberra.
It provides a premium service with extras such as a head massage, and retails signature branded colognes, hair clay, deodorant, razors, shower gels, combs, shaving brushes and seasonal gift sets.
