Just Cuts

Just Cuts, no-appointment style cuts

Just Cuts is a hairdressing chain founded by Denis McFadden with a simple idea: to offer quality style cuts by fully qualified stylists at an affordable price. The company serves men, women and children of all ages and operates on a no-appointment basis, so customers can come in whenever they need to. All its Style Cuts™ come with a 7-day guarantee: if you are not happy with the result, simply present your receipt at any salon in the chain within that week and they will put it right.

An international network of salons

The brand operates in Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and Taiwan, and its website allows you to find your nearest salon. The company structure combines company-owned and franchised salons, with dedicated franchise pages for Australia and New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Taiwan and Canada. According to the company itself, it is the largest hairdressing company in the Southern Hemisphere.

JUSTICE Haircare, products for at-home care

Following requests from its customers, who wanted to maintain the style achieved in the salon at home, Just Cuts created the JUSTICE Haircare™ line in 2013. The company says it drew on its network of 3,500 stylists to define the products and, according to its data, serves more than 100,000 combined customers each week. The range includes daily-use shampoos and conditioners, anti-dandruff and dry scalp treatments, toning products, nourishing leave-in treatments, styling waxes and sprays, as well as take-home colour. These are paraben-free, salon-quality products that the company describes as made by hairdressers for the end customer. They are available in the chain's salons and in its online store.

Services and promotions

In addition to cutting, the website features promotions and news such as the JUSTICE Haircare Summer Gift Packs, the $35 men's refresh cut, the Undone Messy Bun Texture Mist product and back-to-school cuts. The company also sells gift cards and maintains a blog, Style Talk, with content on styling and brand news.

Franchising and careers

Just Cuts presents a franchise model with a fixed fee and ongoing operational and marketing support. The company notes that most of its franchisees are not hairdressers and that the average owner ends up managing several salons; more than half of franchisees own two or more locations. The investment to set up a fully operational salon is, according to the company, between $85,000 and $260,000, depending on size and location. The brand has more than 26 years of franchising activity. On the employment side, it is continuously looking for fully qualified senior stylists to join its teams, with flexible hours.
