What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Deka Lash's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees who opt for additional training courses must cover not only the training fees themselves but also the employee wages and expenses for those attending the training.
For the optional courses, the fees are as follows: Eyelash Technician training costs $400 per trainer per day, plus travel expenses. Manager Training is $350 per candidate. Master Lash Artist Training is $350 per candidate, and Studio Lash Trainer Training is $350 per candidate.
This means a Deka Lash franchisee needs to budget for the course fees, the cost of travel for the trainer in some cases, and the wages they will continue to pay their employees while they are attending the training sessions. These costs can accumulate quickly, especially if multiple employees require training or if travel expenses are significant.
