Does the FDD specify the number of employees a Dermani Medspa franchisee must hire?

According to Dermani Medspa's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the number of employees a franchisee hires is at their sole discretion. While the FDD does not mandate a specific number of employees, it does provide insights into the staffing levels at company-owned locations. This information can be helpful for prospective franchisees in planning their own staffing needs.

The FDD indicates that company locations generally employ 1 to 2 front desk coordinators, 3 to 7 full-time estheticians/laser practitioners, and 1 to 3 nurse practitioners and/or physician assistant cosmetic injectors. The document clarifies that these figures are neither requirements nor recommendations, emphasizing the franchisee's autonomy in making staffing decisions. This flexibility allows franchisees to tailor their workforce to the specific needs and demands of their location.

It's important to note that payroll expenses, as reported in the FDD, do not include any amounts that the franchisee or an operating principal may pay themselves. Additionally, the payroll expenses exclude costs incurred by company locations for franchisor-related activities, such as esthetician training offered to the general public. The FDD also mentions that amounts for tips collected on behalf of the staff have been removed from revenue and from payroll costs. This information helps franchisees understand the composition of payroll expenses and ensures a more accurate comparison to their own potential costs.
