What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Deka Lash FDD, franchisees are responsible for covering lodging costs associated with on-site Eyelash Technician training. For initial training at the first location, Deka Lash charges a flat training fee of $3,750. However, subsequent on-site Eyelash Technician training is billed at $400 per day per trainer, plus the costs of training, including travel, lodging, and a food per diem.
This means that beyond the initial training, franchisees must budget for the daily trainer fee, plus all travel expenses, hotel costs, and daily food allowances for the Deka Lash trainers. These variable costs can fluctuate depending on the trainer's location, travel distance, and local lodging rates. Deka Lash retains the right to modify training costs as deemed necessary.
Prospective Deka Lash franchisees should consider these potentially significant and variable expenses when planning their budget. It is important to discuss with Deka Lash the typical duration of on-site training, the number of trainers usually required, and any available estimates for travel and lodging costs to accurately forecast these expenses. Understanding these costs upfront will help in making informed financial decisions about the franchise.
