Hey guy’s and girl’s just a quick question to pick your brains… I was thinking of opening a male barber shop in a very busy cork area with high footfall passing the door. This would be along the lines of a Turkish barber’s i.e high quality hair cut with all the extras. What I need to know really is, are fella’s still going to get there hair cut as much with all this recession going on ? I would be particularly interested in anyone who might be currently involved in running a male barbers, just so I can ask one or two questions. I haven’t really worked out the pricing per haircut yet but a normal dry cut will be in the region of €15. Do you think is a reasonable price to pay ? I currently go to a Turkish barbers in Cork City which seems to be doing pretty ok, the only thing is parking is nonexistent and if you do manage to find a place chances are you will be clamped or towed. It is a real hassle getting in there but the only thing that keeps me going back there is the quality of service, it really feels like you get your moneys worth and that was at €17. The place I am thinking of has a footfall of a few thousand a day with a lot of free parking. Personally I think it’s a winner as there is no other direct competition in the location only a real upmarket female hairdressers (€40 per dry cut) which I’m sure most fella’s wouldn’t really go to. I would be very grateful for all your opinions and help, and sorry for going on so long ;-)
