Buy a Floyd’s 99 Barbershop Franchise

Floyd’s 99 Barbershop is a barbershop franchise offering cuts, fades, color, shaves, and waxing for men, women, and kids, delivered by licensed barbers and stylists in a music-inspired, high-energy setting. Founded in 1999 in Denver by brothers Bill, Rob, and Paul O’Brien, the brand began franchising in 2006 and has grown to more than 140 locations nationwide.

The model is brick-and-mortar and territory-based, positioned deliberately between budget cut shops and high-end salons. Revenue comes from frequent, recurring grooming visits alongside a proprietary Floyd’s Grooming product line, giving each shop several income streams rather than haircuts alone.

The company remains founder-family led, with Karen O’Brien serving as company president, and is headquartered in Greenwood Village, Colorado. Its culture-driven approach has built strong client loyalty and stylist retention, and most franchisees go on to own more than one location.

Why buy a Floyd’s 99 Barbershop Franchise?

Buying a Floyd’s 99 Barbershop franchise gives an owner a foothold in a recurring, high-frequency grooming category that has proved resilient across economic cycles. Clients return on a regular cycle for cuts and maintenance, and the brand’s mid-market positioning appeals to a broad audience that neither discount chains nor premium salons fully serve.

The business runs on several revenue streams: haircuts, color, shaves, waxing, and the proprietary Floyd’s Grooming line, which the franchisor reports can account for a meaningful share of shop revenue. A distinctive, music-led culture supports the word-of-mouth growth and stylist retention that drive a barbershop’s economics, and the fact that many franchisees expand into multiple units is a useful signal of operator confidence.

Floyd’s 99 Barbershop – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Incoming owners receive Floyd's initial training, listed as 40 hours of classroom instruction plus 80 hours of on-the-job training. The franchisor describes a 360-degree program that continues beyond opening, with a dedicated Franchise Business Consultant supporting franchisees through the first year and ongoing field, operations, and marketing support thereafter. A central marketing team pairs digital strategy with local outreach, and shops run on the brand's proprietary technology. Resale buyers should confirm what transfer training and system access Floyd's provides a new owner, and the certification status of the existing stylist team.

  2. Ideal Owner

    Floyd's suits a hands-on, community-minded operator who can champion the brand's culture and deliver a consistent client experience, rather than a passive investor. Because the business runs on licensed barbers and stylists, recruiting, motivating, and retaining a strong team is central to the role, alongside local marketing and day-to-day shop management. Prior barbering or salon experience is helpful but not required, as the franchisor provides operational training. Owners comfortable managing staff, building local relationships, and potentially scaling into multiple units tend to fit best.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    Floyd's 99 Barbershop ranked #380 on Entrepreneur's 2024 Franchise 500, recognized for unit growth, financial strength, and brand power. The franchisor reports serving more than 25 million customers since 1999 and has built a reputation as a recession-resistant, culture-led brand with strong client and stylist loyalty. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition is best weighed alongside the specific shop's local reviews, reputation, and referral strength within its own community.

  4. Industry / Market

    Floyd's operates in the US barber shop market, valued at roughly $7.0 billion in 2025 by IBISWorld after several years of strong growth (around a 9.8% annual rate). Demand is underpinned by rising men's grooming spend and the recurring nature of hair care: industry research shows men visit barbershops more often than women, averaging close to six visits a year. The category is largely recession-resistant, as haircuts remain a regular, non-deferrable expense. For resale buyers, local demographics, competition, and a shop's established client frequency shape how that broad demand plays out in a specific territory.
