- On this Episode of Art of Reduction, we will be focusing on the idea of the Mobile Barbershop. Unlike a brick and mortar that is truly constant a mobile shop has a lot of perks as well as setbacks. As the owner of both a brick-and-mortar barbershop as well as a mobile shop. I can tell you when you put them together you really get to capitalize on all fronts of the hair world. The truck is a 1995 Gruman Olsen. Originally it was made as an ice cream truck then converted into a tailgate vehicle in the 2000's. We got our hands on the truck summer of 2018. The rest is history! Please enjoy this episode of the Art of Reduction! Many more videos to come!
wow reeve, truck looks great.... get a little bit of tire shine and id say youre good to go! plus cutting the hick from french lick is a pretty nice name drop!

@@michaelwillis1856 if you have any questions on about the build please let me know!
@@michaelwillis1856 wishing you the absolute best ! if you have any questions please ask me!
can't wait to get mines if I ever can afford it lol
bro you will afford it. work hard and trust the process and yourself!
How many solar watts?
How did you go about securing the barber chairs while driving?
to be honest the barber chairs are not secured to anything. the weight of them keeps them in place. also we do not cut hair while driving. thank you for the question!
What insurance company insures your vehicle. I can’t find any companies that will insure services being done inside vehicle???
I believe we went through progressive. Our laws in Indiana are very chill.
About how much would you say total start up cost would be for something like this?
It truly all depends. We are about 45K - 50k into this build all together. We ran into so many problems with the truck. Needed new everything. Thats why I recommend buying a new truck with better bones. we still have made are money back and the money we made in marketing is even higher! wishing you the best!
very nice set up!!! how much income would you recommend (minimum) that I would need to start a Mobile Barbershop?
That is a hard question to answer, each build would be totally different depending the set up you decide to go with and how many options you put into the build. The real question would be how in demand are you in without a mobile shop. if you have a high demand i would say go for it. also try having meetings with places you could pull up to and park. so you have an idea on where you could make money. Since i own a brick and motor barbershop that is insured and has a licens, we were able to put the truck all under that. so just having a truck might be a little different. ask more questions if you need!
Whats up bro.
Im in the process of building my truck. What ac system are you running?
it is a standard top mount RV ac unit. 13,500 btu. does a great job here in Indiana. if you are in the south might recommend two of them. Thank you for watching
Love your truck! Looks awesome. What are the dimensions of your truck? What would be the minimum dimensions for a two chair shop??
I believe the truck dimension of working space is roughly 12 feet by 6 feet. and we are still a bit crammed. Bigger is not better though there is too small.
@@artofreduction Thank you!!! It looks a bit bigger on the video, maybe because of the camera lens 😄
Great that you were able to fit two full stations in that space.
Yes I understand what you mean about it being too small, especially with two barbers working and two clients in the chair.... But I completely agree with you that a two-chair setup is preferable to a single chair.
I'm working on a plan for a mobile barbershop, and definitely want two chairs so I can rent one out to a freelance barber or another barber working as an employee
How many watts does the generator have?
it is a 7,000 watt generator, plenty of power to power the whole truck!
How did you cut a window in the side?
The body is aluminum. Masure twice cut once with a saw and you can mount and fit the window like a normal house. apricate the comment.
