See the full plan →The trade-off
A barbershop's core customer is on a 2-4 week haircut cycle — very tight, very predictable. A nail salon's customer is on a 3-4 week gel cycle plus impulse pedicures. Both are chair-based service businesses; the barbershop wins on average visit frequency, the salon on ticket size.
