Top Reasons Why a Kids Hair Salon Franchise is The Best & Safest Franchise Investment for the $. No Risk!
Kids Hair Salon Franchises are All Recession Proof
"A franchise where your kids and little ones will have fun being part of your business". |
Kids Hair Salon Franchises Offer the Most Longevity for a Franchise & Are The Easiest Franchise Models to Scale Up
"This business does not have to worry about ever being replaced by a competing product or technology". |
Kids Hair Salons have "Zero" Competition
- It is a niche market with very few, if any, kids hair salon competitors. And if there is a small competitor, it is great for competition because it says there is a need for this type of franchise in that market. And competition is good especially if you purchase the best kids hair salon franchise in the industry.
- If there happens to be another kids salon in a market, most kids salon franchises will not set up shop within close proximity to that other kids salon. The kids hair salon market is large enough where competitors do not have to compete against one another. Therefore, both kids’ salons will have zero competition in a given market.
- Every town/city has 100’s of family & discount hair salons (Supercuts, Fantastic Sam’s, Hair Cuttery, local barber shops). Kids salons do not compete with these businesses. Kids salons prefer to be in these types of towns/cities with many discount hair salons because the more there are, the more kids there are in that town/city.
- Parents want a hair salon that strictly caters to their children, not a discount hair salon or barber shop that caters to adults
- Most adult hair salons don’t want kids. They hate them and do not want them.

Approximate Investment Amount Per Kids Salon Franchise
*above figures are published internet amounts for US locations only *Sharkey's investment amount based on 3-pack purchase Trendy Franchises Do Not Last! Or Meet Your ROI!Kids Hair Salons vs. Yogurt, Pizza, Hamburger, Adult Hair Salons, Retail, Food Franchises
1. Kids hair salons are here to stay vs. trendy concepts which typically only last 2-5 years. By the time you “maybe” make your ROI back with a trendy franchise (and this will only happen if you are in the top 30% of the franchisee performers), your concept has been replaced by another trendy concept. Ex. Cold Stone Creamery being replaced by Yogurt, Five Guys being replaced by Smash burger and Shake Shack, Crumbs cupcakes, Curves, etc. Investments for the above concepts could range from $250K-$700K per unit vs. $147K - $299K and are not sustainable long term. 2. Trendy concepts attract trendy competitors (ex. A trendy yogurt shop or food chain will attract the same concept with a different brand in the same town). Multiple yogurt or pizza or food or adult salons cannot survive in a town with so many options. 3. Kids hair salons do not attract competition, but attract the kids that the other local salons do not want. And we want them! 4. Kids hair salon payments are 82%-91% credit card so no need to worry about theft vs. food and retail franchises that have much higher cash sales. Kids hair salon franchises are that much easier to scale up to multiple units, and less need for owner daily involvement. 5. Why invest in a trendy franchise that has “zero” chance of long term survival? This type of trendy investment is great for the Franchisor, but not great for the Franchisee. Being busy does not always mean you are making money. Invest in a franchise concept that is a staple, household commodity that everyone will need for a long time. |
Kids Stylists vs. Adult Salon Stylists
1. Kids salon stylists do not move from salon to salon and take clientele with them like adult salons do. Parents and kids come to a kids salon because they like the ambiance & service, and of course the quality of the haircut given by the professionally trained kids stylists. If a stylist should leave the clients will just use a different stylist recommended by the salon receptionist.
2. Kids salon stylists are typically married with kids or single moms with kids. So they are much more nurturing than the standard family salon stylist or barber, which are usually in there 20’s and right out of cosmetology school (no experience). Kids salon stylists are typically moms with kids so they know how to work with kids because they have their own. And love their job! 3. Employees of kids salons are skilled, nurturing employees. You do not have to work with minimum wage employees that come and go and never show up for work (food franchises, etc.). Kids salon stylists and employees are professional & responsible employees that have families at home just like we do. And these 5-7 employees in a kids salon franchise are treated like family. "Kids salon employees are very easy to work with because they will tell you they work in a stress free environment as kids are easy and fun to work with. No Stress"! |
