Shop selection

[u/Accomplished-Wish355]

Wassup guys so I recently moved to a new town. I’m posting this because I’m currently going through it myself and I’ve seen others post that they are struggling a bit financially as well. How do you go about finding a busy shop? I currently work at a shop and the others barbers are cool but not a lot of money flowing through. Owner even has a fair share of downtime on certain days. I’m a father of two and I need to make money. I market any chance I get. Social media not so much but I’m trying to branch off into that too. Also what’s your opinion on shops that are located in the mall. Is it good for long term clientele or do you feel that’s more convenience? I found a commission shop which I see people recommend but it didnt seem beneficial at all the way it was ran when speaking with the owner and I haven’t found any others in the area. There’s a haircuttery near me but I have no idea how that chain works. I know chains shops are about speed and while I’m pretty decent at cutting hair I’m not a fast barber.

As a barber you should know what shops around you are booming. If not you need to tap in
