Newsweek names our hair salon franchise one of America’s Best Companies for Customer Service

We’re proud to announce we earned a spot in Newsweek’s inaugural 2019 list of America’s Best Companies for Customer Service.

Newsweek listed Fantastic Sams, one of the oldest full-service family hair salon franchises in the U.S., as one of the top three hair salons in America when it comes to customer service. You can see the full ranking here. Among the reasons we earned this honor were the likelihood of customer recommendations, the quality of communication with customers and our range of services.

“It’s important to Fantastic Sams that our customers enjoy their salon experience; we want it to be the best part of their day,” says Denise Gorlick, Fantastic Sams Vice President of Operations. “Earning a spot in Newsweek’s inaugural list of America’s Best Companies for Customer Service demonstrates that our franchisees are making our customers happy, proud and satisfied. It’s why they keep coming back and recommending our salon services to others.”

To create the list, Newsweek collaborated with analytics firm Statista to conduct an independent survey of more than 20,000 U.S. customers. They were asked how likely they would be to recommend brands to friends and family. Respondents also evaluated brands based on quality of communication, technical competence, range of services, customer focus and accessibility.

This is one of several recent accolades for Fantastic Sams. The company also earned a spot in Entrepreneur magazine’s 2019 Franchise 500® list, the world’s most comprehensive franchise ranking. Fantastic Sams consistently earns placement in the annual ranking due to the brand strength and support we offer franchisees.
