Plan
Without a valid plan in place, it would be almost impossible to start a successful barbering business. You must first set aside what your budget is and what the startup and ongoing costs would be for operations. All of this information must also be tied with how much services will cost, labour, furniture, etc. Another factor to consider is determining who your target market is. This will help give you a better perspective on what the ambiance of the shop would look like which we will get into some more detail in the next heading.   

Theme
Starting a business means creating a brand for yourself. What will your shop look like, what would the ambiance look like, what music will play in the background?
