Great barbershops do more than deliver quality cuts—they create lasting experiences, build community trust, and set a higher standard for the profession.

The American Barber Association is proud to recognize Barber on 24th in Philadelphia as a strong example of the ABA Five Star Barbershop Standard.

Founded in 2007, Barber on 24th has built a reputation for professionalism, welcoming service, and deep community roots. Their family-focused approach, attention to client experience, and commitment to quality reflect the values that continue to elevate American barbering.

In today’s barbering industry, professionalism is not only about the quality of your work—it is also about how you protect your business.

Whether you are a booth renter, independent contractor, or shop owner, clear agreements help set expectations, reduce misunderstandings, and protect your financial interests.

Rental agreements can outline payment terms, scheduling, and shop responsibilities. Employment or contractor agreements can define compensation, conduct standards, and expectations. Service agreements can also help with deposits, cancellations, and premium service policies.

“Professionalism starts with how we protect ourselves and our clients. Contracts aren’t just paperwork—they’re your business armor.”
— Damon Dorsey, President, American Barber Association

The American Barber Association supports barbers with resources, guidance, and tools to help operate with confidence.

Finding the right location can make or break a barbershop. Even talented barbers can struggle in the wrong market.

Before signing a lease, focus on six key areas:

1. Foot Traffic: Look near busy retail corridors, neighborhoods, universities, or business districts.

2. Visibility: Easy-to-find storefronts with strong signage exposure often outperform hidden spaces.

3. Parking & Access: Convenience plays a major role in repeat business.

4. Demographics: Choose an area that aligns with your ideal clientele and pricing model.

5. Competition: Study nearby shops, service quality, pricing, and gaps in the market.

6. Lease Terms: Negotiate carefully and understand build-out costs before committing.

The best barbershops are built through smart planning, not luck.
