Average Barber Haircut Prices
The average price for a haircut in Ottawa is $35 ($42 with beard) and takes 45 minutes.
Can you afford to buy a house with your barber salary?
To buy a house in Ottawa you will need a minimum of $140 000 in gross revenue + a 20% down payment.
This will take 8,000 haircuts for the average Ottawa Barber/Shop charging $35 on 50% commission splits (not accounting for any expenses).
8,000 haircuts in 45 minute appointment slots is over 100 cutting hours per week.These numbers are hard enough for barbershops with 5+ barbers to reach let alone 1.
🚨I'm not telling you to stop cutting hair, I'm telling you to work SMARTER and not harder.

Which side would you rather be on?
The barber market is shifting and there has never been a better time to leverage your skills to make more money behind the chair. If you feel any of the following:
- Not making enough money
- No time for yourself, family or friends
- Not taking care of body and health
- No time to grow business
- Overworking/Burn Out
It's time to design your business to work around your life, not your life to work around your business.
