The Hidden Steps to Opening a Barbershop

Live at Level Headed Barber in Downtown Farmington! Opening a barbershop takes a lot more than finding a space, signing a lease, and buying a few chairs. There are dozens of decisions that happen before opening day, and getting them wrong can cost you time, money, and a lot of unnecessary stress.
The Hidden Steps to Opening a Barbershop breaks down the practical side of turning the idea into a real, functioning business. We’ll cover planning and budgeting, choosing the right space, understanding lease terms, licensing and insurance, buildout and setup, equipment, booking systems, payment processing, staffing, shop policies, and the small details that are easy to overlook until they become a problem.
We’ll also talk about common mistakes new shop owners make, where unexpected costs tend to show up, and what you should have figured out before you sign a lease or start spending money. The goal is to give you a clearer picture of what ownership actually looks like so you can make smarter decisions before the doors open.
This class is for barbers who are seriously considering opening a shop, already looking at spaces, or simply want to understand what it takes before making the jump.
