We were able to sit down with 2 of the 3 founders of Floyd’s Barbershop to understand how they started, and how they are taking the company into the future. Rob, Paul and Bill O’Brien founded Floyd’s 99 Barbershop in 1999 and since then their barbershops have continued to rewrite the definition of what a “barbershop” or “salon” can be. The impact on the industry, and on our clients, has been felt from coast to coast. This year the 3 brothers took an active step forward into the business to take Floyd’s even further. Take a minute to hear how they started this amazing business, and what we are doing to keep growing!
