What Is REUNION?

This October, LTC (LEARN to Cut) and GBX (Glassbox) are joining forces to launch RE–UNION, the first-of-its-kind business-first summit designed exclusively for barbershop and salon owners, managers, and industry leaders.

Unlike traditional hands-on events, this summit is built from the ground up with a clear focus on business development, strategic growth, and operational excellence.

Within 5 Years: About 50% of small businesses in general (including salons and barbershops) close within the first 5 years of operation, according to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data. 

First Year: Roughly 20% of small businesses fail in the first year.

Salon & Barber Industry Specific: Industry-specific sources suggest that the failure rate for salons and barbershops may be slightly lower than average, due to consistent demand for grooming services. However: 25% to 30% of salons and barbershops may still close within the first 2 years, often due to poor location, lack of business skills, or high competition.

COVID-19 Impact (Recent Data Point): During the pandemic, more than 30% of salons and barbershops in some areas temporarily or permanently closed due to lockdowns and decreased customer volume.


What You'll Learn

  • Staff onboarding & management
  • Client acquisition & retention
  • Vertical retail & retail flow
  • Social media content & brand strategy
  • Business acquisition & scaling
  • Leveraging SQUIRE for backend systems & analytics

While creative demos are part of the experience, our focus is clear: business mastery for shop and salon owners.
