When Jim Valenzuela “V” opened the first V’s Barbershop & Shoeshine in 1999, he simply wanted an old fashion barber shop to take his son for a hair cut...

But what he found was something quite extraordinary — massive demand for a upscale, stylish, traditional men’s grooming establishment.


Word-of-mouth spread quickly among Phoenix’s affluent. Before long, V was opening additional barber shops as fast as he could. He had hit on something that was not only unique and desirable, but also a replicable formula for success.



Almost since opening day of V’s first local barber shop, people have inquired about franchising the concept. Now, V is ready to make barbershop franchises available to select individuals who have the passion and commitment to spread V’s brand of quality and excellence.
