Launched in 2015, Scissors & Scotch was created by three friends determined to reinvent the men’s grooming experience by blending timeless barbering traditions with the atmosphere of a modern lounge.

Their first location debuted in Omaha, Nebraska, introducing a fresh concept that pairs expert haircuts with high-end beverage service. The company continues to be headquartered in Omaha, staying true to its Midwestern heritage and dedication to craftsmanship.

Franchising opportunities opened in 2017, allowing business owners across the country to be part of this innovative approach to men's grooming.

At every Scissors & Scotch location, guests enjoy a full menu of services—ranging from precision haircuts and professional shaves to spa treatments—enhanced by a bar offering craft cocktails, beer, and coffee. This fusion transforms an ordinary haircut into a relaxing, social experience.

Training

HomeWell Care Services offers a structured training program designed to ensure that franchisees and their key personnel are fully equipped to operate a successful home care business. The franchisor provides a combination of remote and in-person training options, along with continued support throughout the franchise term. Here are the main training components:

1. Initial Training Program: Required for the Managing Owner and one additional person, this training begins after signing the Franchise Agreement and includes multiple phases such as virtual sessions via phone and email, a one-day pre-opening on-site inspection, and three days of on-site training during the first year of operations. It also encourages optional observation at another HomeWell location.
2. Training Topics: The curriculum covers essential areas such as business establishment, licensing and regulation, competitive analysis, home care industry overview, marketing, recruitment, and service delivery. The materials include live instruction, digital handouts, and a Manual, delivered by experienced members of the HomeWell executive team.
3. Ongoing and Supplemental Training: Franchisees can request additional on-site training, which may be charged up to $750 per day plus expenses. Periodic refresher and system-wide training programs may also be mandated by HomeWell.

Territory Protection

HomeWell Care Services grants its franchisees defined territorial protections under the Franchise Agreement. During the term of the agreement, HomeWell commits not to operate or authorize another HomeWell franchisee to offer competitive services within the franchisee’s designated territory.

The territory is typically delineated by zip codes as outlined in the agreement and its attachments. However, HomeWell retains broad rights outside of those protections. The franchisor and its affiliates may operate other types of businesses within the territory, provided they do not use the HomeWell marks, or sell services through alternative channels like the internet or telemarketing.

Additionally, franchisees may only service clients outside their designated territory with written approval, and violations of territorial boundaries may result in significant penalties.
