Franchise
“To be the largest barbering franchise on the planet that delivers the highest standard of modern barbering. Where staff constantly excel and an establishment that clients can’t be without”.
Mint Franchise
Over the last few years, MINT has made rapid developments in order to build an immaculate foundation focused around our professional service and customer care. We have built an outstanding reputation by ensuring our teams are experts within our field. We deliver only the highest standard of modern barbering and are renowned as creators, changing the face of barbering.
MINT is a multi-award-winning business with many years of experience in the barbering industry. From our previous sales and marketing efforts, we are confident in saying that we’re sitting on a winning formula. In 2019 MINT introduced franchising to its model. We wanted to allow passionate barbers to have the opportunity to be part of Mints success. James the director of MINT created an innovative concept that allows business owners to gain in-depth knowledge about their business to drive success and grow their MINT franchise into a long-term profitable venture.
Franchising with MINT is a unique and exciting opportunity for those with an entrepreneurial dream who share the same passion and vision for modern barbering. We ideally like candidates to have worked for our company for 12- 18 months, however people with experience or qualifications outside the company may still be considered.

Testimonials
“I started my MINT franchise, having previously worked for the company for numerous years. It was a fantastic opportunity to fulfill my dream of becoming a business owner and still do what I love – barbering. I am incredibly proud of myself for achieving my dream and would highly recommend the MINT franchise opportunity to any barber looking for independence and growth.
You need to have a certain profile to be able to put in the work required to make this a success, but if you are prepared to put the work in the results are there to be achieved. I am my own boss and responsible for how well my franchise performs, but I have the continuous support of MINT in the form of a franchise manager and the other franchisees which proves vital when your operating alone.
My hard work and dedication along with the guidance and support from MINT has allowed my company to grow into a successful and profitable business with a bright future. I highly recommend anyone thinking of opening a MINT franchise to do it, the brand recognition is very strong, the reputation is good, and we clearly have a superior service compared to our competition.”

I was ready to grow my barbering career but wasn’t ready to leave behind the company so when a MINT franchise opportunity come around I couldn’t of been more excited! This opportunity allowed me to progress whilst keeping what is important to me at the forefront of my business.
I began this journey with no business experience, however the support from MINT has proven vital to the success of my business, allowing me to grow my skills to become successful business owner. The franchise structure has allowed me the freedom I required to grow my company and team and with much hard work and efforts I am seeing positive financial benefits.
