Men's Journal
Remember the old-time barbershop where Dad took you when you were a kid? By now most of them have vanished. We've had thousands of guys tell us the same thing: "Until V's, there were no good choices." We've created a concept and an environment that men enjoy.
From the real barber chairs to the hot lather old-fashioned shave and the relaxing massage you enjoy before you leave, V's has brought back the best of the old and set a new standard for men's barbershops.
Your customers will love the classic, old-time feel of their neighborhood barbershop. You'll love that growing your own business really means hanging out with the guys. And you don't have to be a barber!
"A man who has never had a professional barbershop shave simply doesn't know what a close shave truly means. The traditional hot towel, face lathering, straight razor shave is to a gentleman what a good facial is to a woman - a relaxing skin-pampering treatment. The newest place for an uptown guy to get a good shave ..is downtown at V's Barbershop ... It is the perfect alternative for the guy who is tired of the swivel chairs, feminine chit-chat and the $30-cut-plus-tip involved at most beauty salons."

The information presented may have changed since first published. We recommend that you always verify fees, investment amounts and offers with the business opportunity directly prior to making a decision to invest.
1. What training and ongoing support do you provide?
You want to know what happens after you pay the initial fee. A strong franchisor provides comprehensive pre-opening training, site-selection help, operational playbooks, and continuous assistance with marketing, technology, and supply chains.
2. What is the total initial investment, and did actual startup costs match the estimates in Item 7 of the FDD?
The Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) lists estimated startup costs in Item 7, but real-world expenses can run higher. Asking how closely current owners tracked to these estimates reveals if you need extra working capital or if hidden fees exist.
3. How do royalties and local/national marketing fees impact profitability?
You need to understand ongoing financial obligations-such as monthly royalty percentages and ad fund contributions-and evaluate whether the brand value and support justify cutting into your profit margins.
4. What are the common challenges new franchisees face, and how do you help them overcome them?
Transparent franchisors will openly discuss real hurdles like local competition, tight labor markets, or supply chain bottlenecks, and show you the exact playbook or field support they offer to solve them as well as allowing you to speak with other franchisees.
5. How many franchise locations have closed or left the system in the past few years, and why?
High turnover, store closures, or quiet franchise exits are major red flags. This question measures system stability, territory health, and whether the corporate team addresses struggling owners or lets them fail.
