About this course
This course takes a beginner from a single rented chair to running a profitable, multi-chair barbershop as an owner rather than just a barber behind the chair. You will work through real unit economics for booth rental versus commission, the state-board licensing and inspections that keep the shop legal, a local marketing system built on Google Business Profile and rebooking, retail product margins through distributors like CosmoProf and SalonCentric, and the hiring, scheduling, and financial controls needed to add chairs. Every module is built around worked examples, named tools and vendors, and the actual numbers an owner needs to make confident decisions.
