Summary
This week on Earn Your Leisure, we sit down with the legendary Jay Majors—entrepreneur, educator, and creator of one of the biggest barber expos in the world. Jay breaks down how barbering literally saved his life and how the craft transformed into a multimillion-dollar empire built on relationships, real estate, and relentless hustle. We dive deep into the business behind the chair: why barbering is one of the most underrated networking opportunities, how most barbers can instantly upgrade their customer service in 2025, and what it actually takes to stand out in a crowded industry. Jay gives a full blueprint on opening a barbershop, launching a salon suite, building a loyal clientele, and using technology to scale your time and income. Jay also reveals how he uses land ownership to earn 50 rents every month, why adding apartments above your barbershop is a cheat code, and the smartest paths to securing a mortgage as a barber. From suite models to expos to real estate, this episode is a masterclass for anyone in the grooming industry—or any entrepreneur looking to level up. #EarnYourLeisure #EYL #JayMajors #BarberBusiness #SalonSuite #Barbershop #Entrepreneurship #WealthBuilding #BusinessModels #RealEstate #Networking #FinancialLiteracy #MarketMondays #EYLNetwork #BusinessTips
