How much does it cost to start a barbershop business?
Starting a barbershop takes a little more capital than you’d think. Experienced barbershop owners suggest a minimum capital investment of $150,000 to $200,000. But this includes school tuition, supplies, leasing a building, marketing, and staff costs. If you market yourself correctly, you can make that money back in about a year. After expenses, most barbers make between $30,000 – $70,000 a year.
