What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Itan's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if Itan uses a franchisee's salon as a training facility for other franchisees, Itan will reimburse the franchisee for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred as a result of the salon being used for training purposes.
This means that if Itan decides to utilize an existing Itan salon location for training new franchisees or conducting refresher courses, the franchisee who owns that location will not have to bear the financial burden of the additional costs incurred. Instead, Itan will cover those expenses.
For a prospective Itan franchisee, this is a notable benefit. It ensures that they won't be penalized financially should their salon be selected as a training site. It is important for a potential franchisee to clarify with Itan what specific types of expenses are covered under this reimbursement policy to avoid any misunderstandings.
