"New York is a busy city where people are always in a hurry. We will try to value their time here with our express cuts at reasonable prices," said Ryoji Furuya, president of QB House USA Inc. At the new shop in midtown Manhattan, QB House offers a haircut in only 10 minutes flat for $20 plus tip. The shop has three chairs and started operations with a team of four barbers. In my model, the stylists are making close to $85k per year including tips. Somehow I snuck in operating costs here too on accident, I assumed those were 5% of haircut revenue and includes things like cleaning supplies, hair gel, etc.

QB House offers the authentic Japanese experience, transporting you back to Japan. To start, I used the published operating hours and segmented each day by peak and non-peak hours. I assumed that weekend days were all peak and then from 3PM-8PM would be the peak hours for weekdays.

QB House operates over 550 locations in Japan where people are very particular about looking clean. Specializing in the “LogiThCut”, which stands for Logical Thinking Cut and is QB’s unique program focusing on accuracy and quality, you can trust QB House to make you look interview ready. Along with their philosophy of quick and affordable haircuts, QB House is passionate about providing an exceptional haircut experience and maintaining high sanitation standards. QB House stylists complete rigorous training and acquire special barbering skills to offer high-quality cuts. “We chose Flatiron for this location because there are all types of people in the district. We would love to provide our quality haircuts for workers, students, residents… all types of people.

The particularly lovely—and unusually wide—building was designed by architect Charles A. Platt, whose clients included Astors and Roosevelts. Manhattan real estate has become exorbitantly expensive as the luxury market has pulled averages upward. To understand the business model of QB House, I created a Pro-forma financial model for one hypothetical location in NYC. Note that there are quite a few assumptions in the model and I focused on speed as opposed to accuracy in creating some of these assumptions. Think back-of-the-envelope calculation to get an idea of how the business works as opposed to precise estimates. The heat in New York can be very unpleasant, and you may decide at that moment you need a haircut to feel cooler.

Famous for its express service, clients can get their hair barbered and styled in less than 20 minutes. In a fast-paced environment like New York City, QB House values the time and busy schedules of New Yorkers. At the front of the shop, you’ll find “traffic signals” with green, yellow, and red lights that indicate how busy the store is without needing to step inside. Green suggests a client can walk right in, yellow indicates a slight wait of 10 minutes or so, and red signals longer wait times. Last year, homebuyers in Brooklyn paid a median asking price of $899,900 — which was about the same compared to 2020.

There’s a huge emphasis on cleanliness in both the marketing, tools used, and the experience. It’s executed very well, the shop feels sparkling clean despite that a high volume of haircuts is the perfect grounds for dirty. The moderately sized space provides clients with a warm and welcoming atmosphere, where you simply make your request on how you want your haircut done, and 10 minutes later you are out the door feeling fresh and happy. Now more than ever, sanitation is at the top of everyone’s minds. Prior to the pandemic, QB House held itself to very high sanitation standards and has amplified these efforts even more so to ensure customer safety. Before each haircut, salon spaces such as the chair, handles, and closet space are disinfected along with hair scissors and clippers.

In Manhattan, anyone who buys a property worth $950,000 would only be able to afford 589 square feet of space — or an eye-popping $1,612 per square foot. Your partner’s parents are out-of-towners and you decide to meet them for an early dinner at The Grand Central Oyster Bar before they head to a Broadway show. You need to look neat and impressive, but are probably rushing straight from work, looking a bit stressed and messy. In just 10 minutes, you can get a haircut at QB House, and walk in the restaurant looking smart and stylish, and still be on time.

There are so many offices and schools, cafes, restaurants, and Madison Square Park. People enjoy life in this neighborhood and it’s a perfect place for our business.,” said the QB House team. Brownsville had the second-lowest median asking price per square foot — $348. Rounding out the top five are Kew Gardens ($355); St. Albans ($370); and South Jamaica ($371). Of the top five neighborhoods where homebuyers can get the most space for the lowest price per square foot, four are in Queens and one — Brownsville — is in Brooklyn. The borough offers the most space for the money compared to Brooklyn and Manhattan, with an average selling price of $540 per square foot, according to an analysis by StreetEasy.
