Invested $15K to Start a Barbershop (Was it Worth it?)

Have you ever wondered what it takes to start a 6-figure barbershop business? Bernard Franklin invested $15,000 to start Busy B’s Barbershop, and now he brings in a revenue of $130K a year. He’ll share how he built his barber business step-by-step in this video.

Bernard’s uncles and cousins would cut hair in the neighborhood when he was growing up in Atlanta, but he initially took his career in another direction. He first joined the Navy, then went into network marketing before he went to Bellingham Cosmetology School. He’ll share how this early experience in the military and with marketing helped him grow his barbershop, and why he decided to change gears and open Busy B’s.

Bernard isn’t just a barber—he’s also a leader in his community, and has won awards twice for his community leadership. We’ll find out how being active in his community has helped his business grow. He’ll also share his leadership style with his team, and how his work in the community translates to an exceptional customer service experience.

Knowing how to attract customers is crucial for any business, and Bernard had a head start in those skills thanks to his marketing background. He’ll talk about the marketing strategies that were most successful when he was first starting out to attract his first customers. Today, roughly 80% of his revenue comes from repeat business, and you’ll see how he keeps customers satisfied so they want to come back again.
