Why Great Barbers Look Beyond the Percentage Split
One of the first questions many barbers ask when looking for a new opportunity is:
“What’s the percentage split?”
It’s an understandable question, but at LTZ Group we believe it shouldn’t be the only one.
A higher percentage of today’s earnings doesn’t always mean a better career tomorrow.
Looking Beyond the Numbers
Many self-employed barbers work on percentage-based agreements. On the surface, a 70/30 split can appear more attractive than a 50/50 arrangement.
But the real question is:
70% of what?
A larger percentage of a quieter chair may generate less income than a smaller percentage of a busy diary supported by an established brand, professional marketing and a loyal customer base.
At LTZ, we focus on creating opportunities that help barbers increase their overall earnings, not simply the percentage they receive.
Invest in Your Future
Joining LTZ Group isn’t just about renting a chair.
It’s about becoming part of a growing business that invests in its people.
As an award-winning Independent Training
Provider, learning and development sit at the heart of everything we do. Around 95% of our team are currently working towards a recognised qualification, continually improving their technical skills, customer service and professional development.
That commitment benefits everyone—our customers, our learners and our barbers.
More Than Just Haircuts
Barbering is changing.
Today’s successful barbers need much more than technical ability. Building a long-term career also requires confidence in:
Customer consultation
Communication
Business awareness
Personal branding
Social media
Leadership
Mentoring
Continuous professional development
At LTZ, these aren’t optional extras—they’re part of the culture.
A Growing Business Creates Growing Opportunities
As LTZ Group continues to expand across new locations and new markets, opportunities grow with it.
Whether your ambition is to become a Senior Barber, Educator, Mentor, Manager or even support future international projects, we believe career progression should be available to everyone prepared to develop their skills and contribute to the business.
Many barbers look only at today’s chair.
We encourage people to think about where they want to be in five years’ time.
Our Philosophy
We believe that success isn’t measured solely by what you earn this week.
It’s measured by the knowledge you gain, the customers you retain, the opportunities you create and the career you build.
That’s why we continue to invest heavily in training, apprenticeships and professional development.
Because when our people grow, our business grows with them.
Looking for More Than Just a Chair?
If you’re a barber who’s looking for more than simply renting a chair, we’d love to have a conversation.
At LTZ Group, you’ll find:
A growing and ambitious business
An award-winning training environment
Continuous professional development
Career progression opportunities
A supportive team culture
Established customer demand across our shops
The chance to build a long-term career, not just earn a weekly income
Sometimes the best opportunity isn’t the biggest percentage—it’s the one that helps you become the best barber you can be.
I actually think this article is doing something bigger than recruitment. It’s explaining the LTZ employment philosophy. That philosophy could become a recurring theme in your content and help attract barbers who are motivated by development and long-term opportunity, not just the headline split.
