What This Means (2024 FDD)
Based on the 2024 Deka Lash Franchise Disclosure Document, Deka Lash reserves the right to change the cost of training as deemed necessary. Specifically, on-site Eyelash Technician training, after the initial training at the first location (which has a flat fee of $3,750), is billed at $400 per day per trainer, plus the costs of training, including travel, lodging, and food per diem.
This means that while the initial training fee for the first location is fixed, the costs associated with subsequent on-site training can fluctuate. These changes could be influenced by factors such as trainer availability, travel expenses, and the cost of training materials.
For a prospective Deka Lash franchisee, this implies a degree of uncertainty in budgeting for ongoing training expenses. It would be prudent to discuss with Deka Lash what factors might influence these costs and whether there are any caps or limitations on potential increases. Understanding these potential cost fluctuations is essential for accurate financial planning and managing the profitability of the franchise.
