FRANCHISEFOCUS IN V ESTMENT: FROM £50,000 The new style
Australian sensation Just Cuts has brought its franchise opportunity to the UK market
It could be a kangaroo. Maybe it’s a barbecue. Or possibly the Great Barrier Reef. But you would be forgetting about one of the biggest things from down under since Neighbours brought us Kylie and Jason… Just Cuts. Just Cuts is the brainchild of Denis McFadden, who decided that everyone should have the chance to benefit from a no-appointment, no-fuss, six-dollar haircut. Now, nearly 30 years later, having franchised his business idea, Denis has grown Just Cuts into the biggest hairdressing company in the southern hemisphere and he has brought the opportunity to people in the UK.
W Just Cuts today
In early 2019, the Just Cuts franchise team came to the UK to support the launch of the country's first Just Cuts franchise, having already proven the concept in the UK at a company-owned salon in Essex. It’s individuals like Magda Deaconescu, who jumped at the chance to open her dream salon in Wandsworth, who will help the franchise model be just as successful in the UK market. This forward-thinking 38-year-old
previously worked in the corporate sector. After spending a few years away from the rat race, raising her two beautiful daughters, she decided to take up the challenge of business ownership but was a little nervous about being completely on her own. “Ask any mum, work-life balance is really important, but now my girls are a bit older, I realised the time had come to chase one of my dreams. Just Cuts is huge in Australia and New Zealand, so when I found out they wanted to expand across the UK, I sent them an email. “The whole business is very family
orientated, so it aligned nicely with how I felt. Since launching, the support has been
hat’s the first thing that pops into your head when someone says “Australia”?
phenomenal. I’ve never once felt left out on a limb, and I know that the phone line is always kept open for me.”
But Magda is just the beginning of the
story for Just Cuts in 2019: its plan to open 10 more salons in the next year is ambitious, but achievable. Franchise owners will have the opportunity to run a salon their own way, incorporating personal flair into the way the business works and giving the local community an injection of fun.
You don’t have to be a hairdresser to own a Just Cuts If you’re thinking that you need plenty of hairdressing experience, you would be wrong. Franchise owners are not the ones who will be cutting hair, their job is to get the salon up and running. But they also won’t be on their own for any of this, either. With the investment, they get the help of a dedicated Academy Team. Whether it’s the grand opening marketing campaign or the recruitment of stylists,
rest assured you’re not doing it alone. Amber Manning, the UK CEO of Just Cuts, feels privileged to bring the opportunity to the UK. “It’s amazing that we’ve come full circle to where it all started for Denis. We have the chance to completely revolutionise the salon experience for a lot of customers and that’s really exciting. For franchise owners, it’s a real opportunity to build a profitable business with great personal satisfaction. Our Australian franchise owners feel proud of their businesses and we are sure that Brits will too!” l
