Overview
When Jimmy V opened the first V's Barbershop & Shoeshine in 1999,
he simply wanted a traditional barbershop to take his son for a
haircut. But what he found was something quite extraordinary — massive
demand for a high-end, stylish, old-fashioned men's grooming
establishment.
Word-of-mouth spread quickly among Phoenix's affluent. Before long, V was opening additional stores as fast as he could. He had hit on something that was not only unique and desirable, but also a replicable formula for success.
Almost since opening day of V's first shop, people have inquired about franchising the concept. Now, V is ready to make franchises available to select individuals who have the passion and commitment to spread V's brand of quality and excellence.

Products & Services
In November 1999, V's Barbershop & Shoeshine ® opened in the Arcadia neighborhood of Phoenix and the great old-time barbershop was reborn and improved.

Are You a Good Fit for V's Barbershop?
A franchise system is only as strong as its franchisees. A well run
franchise reflects well on the entire system and a poorly run franchise
affects the sales and reputation at not only that shop, but at all the
shops. V's is looking for franchise owners who value the reputation
that V's has built for quality services and clean, beautiful
barbershops. This does not mean that you have to be wealthy or have
previous experience in running your own business. It means that you
want to own a V's Barbershop and run it as well or better than any in
the V's chain. It also means that you are willing to invest your own
money, or invest together with a partner, to own one of the nicest
barbershops in the USA.
V's does not have a minimum net worth requirement. However, if your net worth falls below $250,000 and you're still passionate about owning a V's Barbershop, you may wish to consider seeking an investment partner or additional sources of third-party financing.
The suggested minimum capital investment is $100,000 to $150,000. V's philosophy is to grant franchises to those who have a strong desire to run a first-class barbershop and business. One measure of desire is the amount of capital that you invest in your business. V's will, on a case-by-case basis, consider applications from those who do not meet our suggested capital investment criteria and who demonstrate a passion for owning and running a great barbershop.
You do not need to be a licensed barber or have experience in the men's grooming field.
You must be willing to work hard to make your V's Barbershop a success.
