You or your designated Manager must attend training, but we do not charge an additional fee for this training or service unless more than three persons are attending.

All training, except any on-site training, will be held at our corporate headquarters in Costa Mesa, California virtually, or at another designated location. You must complete this training to our satisfaction or repeat this training, at no cost, prior to commencing operation of your Beauty Bungalows Franchise. Training is conducted or supervised by our CEO, Traci Hawkins. Ms. Hawkins has been our CEO since our formation and has been working in the salon services industry since 2005.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beauty Bungalows' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee or their designated manager does not complete the initial training program to Beauty Bungalows' satisfaction, they must repeat the training at no additional cost before commencing operation of their Beauty Bungalows franchise. This ensures that all franchisees and managers meet the brand's standards before opening their location.
This requirement underscores the importance Beauty Bungalows places on standardized operations and service quality across all franchise locations. By mandating a repeat of the training, Beauty Bungalows aims to ensure that franchisees are fully equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to successfully operate their business according to the franchisor's established model.
While the training itself is provided at no cost for the initial attendees, franchisees are responsible for covering the travel and living expenses associated with attending the training. This includes costs for themselves, their designated manager, and any employees who participate in the training program. The initial training is conducted or supervised by Beauty Bungalows' CEO, Traci Hawkins, or by staff trainers with at least one year of experience in the salon services industry.
