Tune-Up Barbershop & Salon
619 N 2nd St, Philadelphia, PA 19123 — Northern Liberties

The Opportunity

A fully built-out, turnkey barbershop and salon in the heart of Northern Liberties, one of Philadelphia's most active and fastest-growing neighborhoods. Lease is $3,500/month, everything included, with a transferable barbershop license — open for business on day one with no build-out required.

The shop carries an established online reputation, with a 4.3-star rating across 116 Google reviews under the Tune-Up Barbershop name, plus an active Instagram presence (@tuneupbarbershop). Current hours are Monday–Friday, 9 a.m.–6 p.m., leaving clear room for a new operator to add weekend hours and grow revenue.

Location

The shop sits on N 2nd Street between Northern Liberties and the edge of Fishtown/Old City, a walkable commercial corridor of exposed-brick storefronts mixed with new construction. Immediate neighbors include Creep Records and other independent retail, and the block is a short walk from the shops and restaurants of the 2nd Street corridor and Piazza at Schmidt's. New high-rise residential development directly across the street points to a growing, higher-income resident base nearby — a strong sign for repeat, walk-in barbershop traffic. The storefront has a street-level ADA ramp and large glass display windows with excellent visibility, plus a classic barber pole light mounted on the brick facade.

Interior & Layout

The space is finished in an industrial-meets-classic barbershop style: black ceilings with track lighting, a green accent wall in the front room, and a reclaimed-wood-look feature wall behind the main styling stations. The shop is divided into two connected working areas plus a private back room:

The main styling area, with a run of styling stations set against a long wood-topped counter, backlit vanity mirrors, and several vintage-style black leather barber chairs on chrome hydraulic bases. A wall-mounted speaker/sound system is already installed.
A green-and-mustard-toned room with additional chairs, a shampoo/backwash sink, a wall-mounted TV, a mini-split AC unit, and a fun touch — a kids' barber chair styled as a race car, useful for drawing in family clientele. A locking glass display case is set up for retail product sales.
A third row of stations along a poured-concrete-style counter with lighted mirrors, additional chairs, and an exit door.
Break/prep: An outdoor patio area as well as outfitted with a mini fridge, Keurig coffee maker, seating, product storage, and framed art.

Utility area: An LG all-in-one washer/dryer unit and shelving for cleaning and laundry supplies (towels/capes), tucked into a rear utility nook.

Across the working areas there are 4 styling/barber chairs total, giving a new operator room to run a multi-chair crew or a mix of booth renters from day one.
