V's Barbershop
Remember the days of sitting in the barbershop on a Saturday, sports magazines next to you, a football game on the television, and customers sitting in ornate barber chairs, enjoying a shave? Those days have returned at V’s Barbershop & Shoeshine. The shop blends a nostalgic atmosphere with barbers who are experts in short, traditional haircuts and contemporary/trendy styles. According to the company, “every haircut will include a shampoo, a hot lather neck shave, and will always end with a relaxing massage.” Franchisees receive training in every aspect of running the business and startup/ongoing support that includes site selection and marketing assistance.
