More about Bruce…

Bruce Schultz is the Co-Founder and CEO of Boardroom Salon for Men – which delivers the ultimate relaxed grooming experience for men by providing exceptional haircuts, shaves, and spa services in an elegant country club environment.

He and his wife Heather originated the concept of luxury salons for men with the launch of Boardroom in 2004, when the men’s grooming industry did not exist. They were looking for their next entrepreneurial opportunity when they read an article about men’s grooming in American Way Magazine. Building on the men’s grooming theme, they predicted significant demand for an upscale grooming experience. In eight short months, the Schultz’s idea progressed through to a business plan, location selection, lease and build out – opening the first salon in Southlake, Texas. Since then, Boardroom has become an iconic brand, growing to nearly 40 salons nationwide – including recent entrance into the Phoenix area. The Schultz’s were excited to open their first salon in the market in Scottsdale at Lincoln Marketplace, near the popular SumoMaya. They have three additional openings planned this year, including Uptown Plaza and Desert Ridge this spring, as well as Chandler this fall.

As luxury salons for men became a fast-growing business category, the Schultz’s recognized an increased demand for licensed barbers. The couple also opened Brighton Barber Institute (BBI) in 2017, a premier barber curriculum to develop the industry’s top future talent. BBI provides specialty training for licensed cosmetologists that enhance career opportunities and earning potential, as well as includes assistance with job placement. As Boardroom continues rapid growth, BBI is meeting the demand for additional, well-trained licensed barbers.
