John Prichard
I never thought I’d own a hair salon. It was the furthest thing from my mind. But it made total sense, especially from an affordability standpoint. As it turned out, I didn’t really need to have experience in the hair and beauty field. It probably would have helped me if I had, but it wasn’t necessary.
Many markets are available across the United States
Fantastic Sams offers the stability of a hair salon franchise that’s been in business for four decades with the appeal of available territories nationwide. Our simple, scalable business model and flexible salon footprint work anywhere from small towns to large cities.
With nearly 1,100 locations across the country, we have instant brand-name recognition, making this an ideal time to expand into new territories. Reliable, affordable full-service salons are always in demand.
Why the salon franchise business is recession-resistant
Since Fantastic Sams first started franchising in 1976, the United States has experienced five recessions, according to the National Bureau of Economic Research. Many of our franchisees are 20- and 30-year veterans whose Fantastic Sams thrived through all of them. During tough economic times, clients who normally frequent high-end salons might look for something more affordable. So while some salons’ business might drop off in a down economy, many of our franchisees experience an influx of new customers.
