Can Beauty Bungalows change the training fees?

According to Beauty Bungalows's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Beauty Bungalows has the discretion to modify training fees. Specifically, the FDD states that "Training fees can be increased or decreased by us at any time in our discretion." This means that the cost for additional training, beyond what is included in the initial franchise fee, is subject to change at Beauty Bungalows's discretion.

This policy has significant implications for prospective franchisees. While the initial franchise fee covers training for the franchisee, their manager, and one additional person, any further training will incur additional costs. The fact that these fees can be altered at any time means that franchisees need to factor in the potential for increased expenses when budgeting for training. It would be prudent for a potential franchisee to discuss with Beauty Bungalows how frequently these fees have been changed in the past and what factors might influence future changes.

Furthermore, the table in Item 6 provides specific details on the "Additional or Replacement Training Fee," which is $500 per person per day for any additional trainees required to attend initial training in a different session. This fee applies if a franchisee elects to have more than three people attend initial training, subject to Beauty Bungalows's prior written approval. The combination of a fixed per-day, per-person fee and the franchisor's ability to change that fee creates a degree of financial uncertainty for franchisees needing to train additional staff.
