Who is responsible for the costs incurred to attend training programs for a Deka Lash franchise?

According to the 2024 Deka Lash Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are responsible for covering all expenses associated with attending training programs, whether for themselves or their employees. This includes not only the training fees themselves, but also any travel, lodging, meals, and wages incurred during the training period.

This means that prospective Deka Lash franchisees need to factor in these additional costs when budgeting for their initial investment and ongoing operational expenses. The FDD also states that the training topics, frequency, prices, required attendance, medium, and location are subject to change as deemed necessary by Deka Lash. Franchisees should regularly consult the Operations Manual for the most up-to-date information on available trainings, pricing, and terms and conditions.

While Deka Lash does not currently require any additional training programs beyond the initial training, this is subject to change. The Operations Manual will contain a complete list of all available trainings, along with their current pricing and terms. This policy is fairly standard in the franchise industry, as franchisees are generally expected to invest in the ongoing development and skills of their staff to maintain brand standards and service quality.
