Jaycees Barber Shop LLC | Application Preview
Jaycee’s Barber Parlour LLC is seeking a government grant to support the launch and early development of a new barbershop in Prineville, Oregon, with estimated startup costs ranging from $6,600 to $10,000. The funds will be used for essential renovations, equipment, branding, and interior upgrades.
The owner plans to open doors by June 1, 2025, starting with building a solid daily client base and introducing a retail line of grooming products. To support sustainability, she will rent out 1–2 barber chairs to licensed professionals and focus on local marketing, community engagement, and brand development. Over the next three years, the business aims to expand services, fully staff all four barber chairs, increase product offerings, and implement an online booking system and loyalty program.
By year five, the vision includes branded merchandise, hosting educational events, and evaluating the potential for a second location or mobile unit while continuing to reinvest in quality and growth.
The applicant brings industry experience, a loyal client base, and a strong community presence. As a woman in a male-dominated field, she offers a distinct perspective and plans to create a welcoming, professional space with services unmatched in the area. Given the limited competition—with other local barbershops either under-resourced, poorly reviewed, or limited in services—Jaycee’s Barber Parlour offers a unique opportunity to fill a market gap, support other professionals, and enrich the local community.

Business Plan
For the first year I plan to finalize renovations and open Jaycee’s Barber Parlour in Prineville, Oregon on June 1st 2025. I want to build a larger consistent client base of 12-15 clients per day and begin selling a line of grooming products in-store. I’d like to rent out 1–2 barber chairs to licensed professionals to offset monthly expenses and focus on local marketing, community events, and creating a strong brand identity. Year 2 and 3 would be focused on expanding my services and team by gaining full occupancy of all 4 barber chairs and adding more service options such as beard sculpting, facials, and premium grooming packages. I’d also increase product inventory to include more options and implement an online booking system and customer loyalty program. By the end of year 3 and beginning of year 4 I would be able to expand marketing to reach surrounding towns and attract new clients. I could also host grooming workshops or barber education nights to strengthen community ties and consider collaborating with local businesses for bundled services or promotions. By year 5 I could create branded merchandise (shirts, hats, etc.) to promote the business and generate extra income. Id be evaluating the success of the current location and determine potential for a second location or mobile unit. I’d also continue reinvesting profits into equipment, marketing, and facility upgrades to maintain top-tier service quality. As a woman in a male-dominated industry, I bring a unique perspective and a commitment to excellence that sets my shop apart. With a clear business model, opportunities for retail, and a plan to support other professionals through affordable chair rentals, your investment will help create lasting impact—not just in my life, but in my community. I’m not just starting a barbershop—I’m building a local legacy. As a well-known and trusted barber in Prineville, Oregon, I already have a strong and loyal client base, a solid reputation, and a clear vision for growth. I’ve saved for my down payment, secured a location, and built this business from the ground up. Now I’m seeking support to bring Jaycee’s Barber Parlour to life. An investment in this business is an investment in a skilled tradeswoman with the experience needed, deep community roots, and a passion for quality service. Jaycee’s Barber Parlour LLC will be more than just a barbershop—it will be a welcoming space for men and boys in the community, and a platform for other barbers to grow and succeed.

Self Identified Competition
There are only three other barbershops in Prineville. One of them is called Cougar Cuts, they only have one Barber working there who pays hourly, which is why I believe she is unable to get any help and she is only available for appointments. Then there is Pineville Barbershop, the reviews online mention that she is extremely unpleasant and is never there when she says she will be there, which I have also heard from clients that have switched over to me. And then there is True American barbers which is a newer barbershop that offers walk-ins and appointments, I believe this barbershop to be my biggest competition, but he only has one other chair available and the location is not great to hold multiple people or for parking. I am in a perfect location with plenty of parking. I will be offering multiple spaces to rent, and the building will be renovated in a way where the atmosphere is relaxing and unforgettable. I will also be offering straight razor, spa like services that aren’t offered anywhere else in this area.
