What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Deka Lash's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, both the franchisee and their spouse must be able to pass a criminal background check. Additionally, any full-time studio manager that the franchisee employs must also pass a criminal background check as a condition of their employment. Furthermore, all employees with access to client accounts, or as required by local law, must also pass a criminal background check.
This requirement ensures that individuals in positions of responsibility and trust within the Deka Lash franchise meet certain standards of integrity. The criminal background check helps to protect the safety and security of clients, as well as the reputation of the Deka Lash brand.
For a prospective franchisee, this means they should be prepared to undergo a background check as part of the approval process.

The franchisee bears the responsibility for ensuring compliance with these background check requirements.
