What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Deka Lash Franchise Disclosure Document, Deka Lash retains the right to modify training costs. Specifically, while the initial training fee for the first location is a flat $3,750, subsequent on-site Eyelash Technician training is billed at $400 per day per trainer, in addition to covering the costs of training, including travel, lodging, and food per diem.
Deka Lash explicitly states that it reserves the right to change the cost of training as deemed necessary. This means that the costs associated with training beyond the initial session are subject to change at Deka Lash's discretion.
For a prospective franchisee, this implies that while the initial training costs are fixed, future training expenses could fluctuate. It would be prudent for potential franchisees to factor in possible increases in training costs when budgeting for ongoing operational expenses. Franchisees should inquire about the conditions under which training costs may change and how they will be notified of such changes.
