Supercuts was first opened in Albany, California in 1975. One of the primary goals of the two founders was to expand the brand through franchising, while still maintaining a "less costly" haircut than "upscale" salons.[5] A significant marketing pillar of the brand was it's "unisex" haircuts - that is, a barbershop not geared exclusively towards men or women. In 1987, the founders sold their brand to a venture capital group, and by 1996, Supercuts had 1,200 locations in the United States.[6]
