What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Deka Lash Franchise Disclosure Document, the standard on-site Eyelash Technician training fee of $400 per day per trainer does not apply to the initial training at a franchisee's first location. Instead, Deka Lash charges a flat training fee of $3,750 for this initial training session.
This means that for the initial training of eyelash technicians at the first Deka Lash studio, franchisees will pay a one-time fee of $3,750, regardless of the duration of the training or the number of trainers involved. However, for any subsequent on-site training at that location or at additional locations, the franchisee will be charged $400 per day per trainer, plus the costs of training, including travel, lodging, and food per diem.
It is important to note that Deka Lash reserves the right to change the cost of training as deemed necessary. This could impact the overall expenses associated with employee training and should be considered when budgeting for the franchise. Franchisees should also inquire about any potential changes to the training fees and factor in the ongoing costs of training when evaluating the financial viability of the franchise.
