Owning a salon franchise is an excellent idea for business people with experience in any industry. Not only do salons offer a service that’s nearly universally needed, but franchise owners also don’t need any prior experience in the haircare industry.

Franchises like Fantastic Sams offer a scalable franchise opportunity for new or experienced business owners from any industry. As a salon franchise owner with Fantastic Sams, you don’t have to be involved in daily operations, making it an ideal opportunity for those looking to add a new revenue stream without giving up their day job. So, what should you expect when owning a salon franchise?

Opening a Franchise

The first question any potential franchisee needs to figure out is how to own a franchise. Fantastic Sams tries to make the process as simple and straightforward as possible.

First, you’ll be asked to submit an application and be invited to a pre-qualification call. During that call, you’ll have your first interview to discuss your background over long-term goals. Next, you can expect to review the FDD with a representative followed up by a call with the regional director of your market.

Next comes due diligence followed by two calls: an operations call and a financial strategy call. Once the franchise agreement is approved and signed, you’ll go through new owner onboarding.

Our comprehensive guidance and training system prepares you for grand opening and beyond. After agreement signing, you should expect to be opening your doors within six to seven months.

Daily Operations

Many potential franchise owners wonder if the franchise they’re interested in requires them to be heavily involved in daily operations or more hands-off.
