What Are the Startup Costs?
STARTUP COSTS FOR OUR SALON FRANCHISE OPPORTUNITIES
Starting out as a new salon entrepreneur, you can take advantage of multi-unit incentives by entering into a 3-pack, 5-pack or 10-pack agreement, or you can open a single salon if you prefer to scale up at your own pace. This is a great way to carve out your own piece of the market for future growth and opportunities.
