What is the purpose of the Floyds 99 initial training program?

According to the 2025 Floyds 99 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial training program is designed to educate franchisees and their principal managers on the brand's standards, specifications, trademark protection, and ensuring consistency across all Floyds 99 locations. This comprehensive program is mandatory for both the franchisee and their Principal Manager before opening their barbershop.

The Floyds 99 initial training program includes a variety of instructional methods, such as reading materials, self-study, verbal instruction, computerized slides, videos, and on-the-job training in an actual Floyds 99 shop. The program consists of approximately 4 hours of home study, four days of classroom instruction at the company headquarters in Greenwood Village, Colorado, and 7 to 10 days of on-the-job training at barbershops near the headquarters or another designated location.

For prospective Floyds 99 franchisees, this initial training is a crucial step in understanding and implementing the Floyds 99 business model. Franchisees are responsible for covering their own travel, living expenses, and wages, as well as those of their employees, during the training period. Floyds 99 also recommends that franchisees attend the opening of a new barbershop, if possible, to gain additional insights. Furthermore, Floyds 99 may provide up to five days of on-site follow-up training and opening assistance at the franchisee's barbershop around the time of its opening, particularly for first-time franchisees.
