What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Itan's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial franchise fee is $49,500. This fee is a lump sum payment due when you sign the Franchise Agreement with Itan. The FDD notes that this fee assumes you do not qualify for any discounts, such as the Veterans Discount, Conversion Discount, or Multi-Unit Discount, which are discussed in Item 5 of the FDD.
It is important to note that the initial franchise fee is just one component of the total initial investment required to open an Itan salon. Other significant costs include the development fee, which ranges from $129,500 to $199,500, and the initial investment to open the first salon, which can range from $230,694 to $785,564 depending on whether you lease or purchase equipment.
Prospective franchisees should carefully review Item 5 of the FDD to determine if they qualify for any discounts on the initial franchise fee. Additionally, they should consider the total initial investment required, including the development fee and other startup costs, to ensure they have sufficient capital to launch their Itan franchise.
