Taylor and Colt Barberspa
Taylor and Colt was the first barberspa concept in Canada combining the traditional barbershop with a spa section to accommodate the explosive growth in men’s grooming. Taylor and Colt opened its first location in 2013 to rave reviews and has gone on to open coast to coast in Canada.
The franchise offers the customer haircuts and styles, hot shaves, manicures and pedicures, beard trims and moustache trims.
While the haircut is the main service, the other grooming services are experiencing huge growth.
As well as providing grooming services, Taylor and Colt sells professional grade salon products for men, offers coffee and free newspapers and magazines and has monitors in the salon that keep the customer up to date on business and sports news.
