Someone described their business in a sentence. This is what came back — specific moves, priced per month, with the sums written out.
What we took you to be
haircuts — for local residents.
Your numbers as we read them: ~£4,320/mo from 240 cuts at £18. Assume 8 hours/day, 26 days/month, and 2 chairs, so capacity is around 416 cuts/month. This leaves some room for growth, but Tuesdays and Wednesdays are quiet, suggesting opportunity to fill those days.
Wrong about something? Add the correction to your description and run it again — the estimates move with it.
01PricingTest it small · an hour
Charge £22 for Fridays and weekends
≈ £640–1,280/mo240 cuts/mo × 10-20% increase on 50-100% of Friday and weekend cuts × £4 difference
Why now: Demand is likely higher on Fridays and weekends, so it's a good time to test price elasticity.
Introduce a £22 price point for haircuts on Fridays and weekends. Keep the £18 price point for Mondays to Thursdays. Monitor demand and adjust as needed.
Do this first
Review last month's bookings to determine Friday and weekend demand.
Why now: With some capacity left in the schedule, hiring a part-time barber could help fill those gaps and increase revenue.
Hire a part-time barber to work 10 hours/week, focusing on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Pay them £12/hour. Monitor the impact on revenue and adjust as needed.
Do this first
Post a job ad for a part-time barber.
03What you sellTest it small · a day
Offer a £15 'express cut' for students
≈ £240-480/mo20 cuts/week × £15 price point × 2 days
Why now: The barbershop is quiet on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and offering a discounted 'express cut' can attract price-sensitive students.
Introduce a £15 'express cut' for students on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, which includes a limited service (e.g., no beard styling). Promote the offer through social media and local student groups.
Do this first
Create social media posts advertising the 'express cut' offer.
