- Implantations
- 3 stores (Birmingham, Solihull, Stirchley)
A management franchise for licensed barbershops with drinks, live sport and gaming
Everyman Barbers runs walk-in barbershops for men that combine a traditional barbering service with a social setting: leather barbers’ chairs and oak cutting stations, free wifi, gaming stations, live sport, and a full drinks licence in every store, so customers can have a beer, a spirit or a coffee while they wait. Its store finder currently lists shops in Birmingham, Solihull and Stirchley.
Retail is a significant part of the model. The company sells a range of professional men’s grooming products, chosen by its retail director Julie Gilronan, which it says can account for as much as 20% of turnover. Customers book online or walk in, and a mobile app runs a loyalty scheme.
A management franchise with full training
Everyman Barbers presents its franchise as a management franchise: the franchisee runs the business and its team rather than cutting hair. No barbering experience is required, and the company trains franchisees in every aspect of the business, spending time in store to help, especially with recruiting barbers.
The franchise team is led by managing director Noel Gilronan, who has more than 14 years of experience in barbering as a franchisee, master franchisor and owner. Everyman helps find the location and premises, supplies a complete set-up list and offers help with bank funding, and franchisees follow its operating system while setting the culture of their own store.
