Fantastic Sams Hair Salons (FS) has one of the strongest programs in franchising for veterans. FS offers a full range of salon support--site selection, build-out assistance, local salon marketing, management training and on-going hair stylist technical training. FS has relationships with the SBA and other financing sources to assist the new salon owner in getting started. FS knows that military personnel come off active duty with a variety of skills and we tailor our training to leverage the best of their experience.
FS offers veterans a 25% discount on the initial license fee (ranging from $25,000 - $30,000 depending on the location) and $5,000 of FS private label professional hair products when the salon opens.
