Skull Barber Shop is a Barcelona-born chain of modern men's barbershops that combines retail grooming services (cuts, fades, beard care, traditional shaves, own-brand products) with proprietary booking and business-management software, expanding nationally through a franchise model. Founded around 2020, it operates roughly 12 salons across Barcelona, Badalona, Santa Coloma de Gramenet, Lleida, Tarragona, Madrid and Alicante, serving over 11,000 clients a year, and has stated Madrid and Andalusia as its next expansion focus. It is a consumer retail/franchise business rather than a technology startup, though it has raised venture-style angel rounds (~€200k in 2023 and ~€450k in 2024, the latter including ENISA).
