What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beauty Bungalows' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, training, excluding on-site training, will be held at the corporate headquarters in Costa Mesa, California, virtually, or at another designated location. The Beauty Bungalows franchisee or their designated manager must attend training. Beauty Bungalows does not charge an additional fee for this training unless more than three people are attending.
However, the franchisee is responsible for covering travel and living expenses for themselves, their designated manager, and any employees attending the training. The training is conducted or supervised by the CEO, Traci Hawkins, or by staff trainers with at least one year of experience in the salon services industry.
Satisfactory completion of the initial training is mandatory before commencing operations. While there is no mandatory training requirement after the initial training, franchisees may be required to attend mandatory conferences. This means that while the initial training location is fixed, Beauty Bungalows retains the flexibility to host additional training sessions or conferences at alternative locations.
