What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beauty Bungalows' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are responsible for covering the travel and living expenses incurred while attending training programs. This includes the initial training that you or your designated manager must attend. Beauty Bungalows does not charge a fee for the initial training unless more than three people from your franchise attend.
In addition to the initial training, Beauty Bungalows may offer ongoing advanced training and periodic regional or national conferences. Franchisees are also responsible for all travel and living expenses for themselves and their employees when attending these additional training sessions or conferences. The FDD estimates these travel and living expenses to be between $1,500 and $3,000 for conferences.
This means that as a Beauty Bungalows franchisee, you need to factor in the costs of travel and accommodation for yourself, your manager, and potentially other employees when budgeting for both the initial setup and ongoing operation of your franchise. These costs can vary depending on the location of the training or conference (which may be at the corporate headquarters in Costa Mesa, California, or another designated location) and the number of people attending.
