WELCOME TO THE BEST PART OF YOUR DAY
Unless you won the lottery or something. Then we're probably a close second.
Scissors & Scotch is the grooming experience every man deserves - where traditional barbering and modern spa services meet your favorite watering hole. We’re not a clips joint. We’re not your run-of-the-mill barbershop. We’re everything you want your haircut to be, and then some. The Scissors & Scotch experience offers a complimentary cocktail, coffee, or cold one with every haircut, plus a full-service bar and lounge, because we know you’ll be ready for round two.
Why Scissors & Scotch?
At Scissors & Scotch, you can expect the old-school barbershop spirit with a new age twist.

We are looking for franchisees with a passion for providing a great experience and building lasting relationships. When you franchise with Scissors & Scotch, you have a direct impact on the confidence and good spirits of guys everywhere.
Your success is our success, and vice versa. That’s why we have teamed up with experts to tackle every aspect of the business. From market analysis to advertising, each facet has decades of experience that will set you up for serious success.
MARKET ANALYSIS
Statistics are vital to growing our franchise model. That’s why we work with a highly experienced customer analytics firm to research your market’s size, demographics and competition.

We don’t believe in guessing games; we believe in strategy. We’ve partnered with a real estate firm that provides information on landlord reputation, co-tenant strength, traffic patterns and other factors that will increase your likelihood of success.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Our team will guide you through the entire new shop experience, from signing to opening – coordinating architecture design, leading plan approvals, soliciting general contractor bids and providing step-by-step instructions for every buildout, procurement and step along the way.

SYSTEMS AND SUPPORT
The moment your shop’s doors open is just the start of a thriving partnership. From the get-go, we’ll provide you with a live, searchable operations manual, complete with templates, tools and programs for every area of the business. Our ongoing assistance will help ensure your investment flourishes.
TARGETED ADVERTISING
Our goal is to help you reach capacity as quickly as possible. To accomplish that, we not only provide a catalog of branded content, but a strategy to ensure that content is hitting the right customers within your market. We’ll help optimize your marketing dollars so you can focus on the franchise.
Scissors & Scotch has experienced great success since opening its first shop in 2015. Sure, the franchise model is solid and entry is affordable. But the real kudos goes to the forward-thinking trend analysis and strategic assessment of the market – which, unlike any shop beer keg, is virtually untapped.
