Men's Salon Business Plan

The management philosophy of Jonpaul’s is based on respect for each of our fellow employees, respect for every client, and individual responsibility. Jonpaul’s success is dependent on the warmth and uniqueness of its atmosphere which is generated by a fun-loving and caring employees. The management team will consist of the owners, and assistant manager (if deemed necessary). We will hire only those who demonstrate the qualities necessary for working in a professional environment, and the willingness to move forward in continuing education. We will be hiring the ultimate “people persons” to provide world class service.

Our initial team will consist of the owner and 10 employees. On the shop floor, there will be six barbers, one nail specialist, one shoe shine person and one receptionist. Initially there will be one full time combination aesthetician/massage therapist. As our client base grows we will add additional barbers, which then will be working two shifts per day per station. We expect to have 12 employees by the end of the first year and 14 employees in years two and three.
