FRANCHISEFOCUS IN V ESTMENT: FROM £50,000
A new style of life Just Cuts brings 30 years of experience to the UK
T
he first year of a brand in a new territory is the most important and, equally, the most uncertain. But
with 30 years’ experience behind them from their Australian-founded franchise, Just Cuts has had a fantastic start in the UK. After an influx of attention from prospective owners, plus salon fit-outs underway, 2019 is turning out to be a great year for the hair salon franchise. In March, Just Cuts’ first franchisee-
owned salon opened in Wandsworth, South London. In June, the second salon – operated by the same franchise owner – launched in Walton-on- Thames, Surrey. In the same month, the UK website for Just Cuts’ own-brand products, JUSTICE Professional, went live for UK customers to stock up on the haircare range. Just Cuts’ commitment to putting its stamp on UK soil is admirable. The buzz started in the 80s when Denis McFadden had the idea that
customers should be able to benefit from a no-appointment, no-fuss haircut. After holding a special promotion that proved to be an overwhelming success at his salon in Sydney, he wanted the whole world to get a piece of the action.
"It's a chance for franchise owners to build a profitable business with great personal satisfaction"
Fast-forward to the present day and Just Cuts is the largest hairdressing company in the southern hemisphere with more than 200 salons in Australia and New Zealand alone. The opportunity is now available on the opposite side of the globe.
From first store to many more Magda Deaconescu was the first UK Just Cuts franchise owner. After spending a few years away from the rat race looking after her two daughters, she decided to take up the challenge of business ownership. When she realised the true scale of the success from the Wandsworth salon, opening a second seemed like a no-brainer. Despite a few first-day nerves, she now plans to open 15 salons within the next three years. Magda says: “I was initially interested in
becoming a multi-site franchise owner, having seen that regularly happen with the franchise network in Australia. The success of the salon in Wandsworth really brought it home for me and I just knew I could manage multiple salons through the franchise’s systems.” Like Magda, you don’t have to be a hairdresser to own a Just Cuts. Despite Just Cuts’ success in entering new markets, it continues to keep ahead of the game with developments to its franchise system. Franchise owners can manage multiple salons using Just Online, an app that helps you to see, in real time, exactly how your salon is performing. Even though over half the network owns more than one salon, most franchise owners spend around 30 hours a week in the business. Amber Manning, the UK CEO of Just Cuts, feels privileged to bring the opportunity to the UK. She says: “For franchise owners, it’s a chance to build a profitable business with great personal satisfaction. Our Australian franchise owners feel proud of their businesses and we’re confident that Brits will too!” l
