What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Itan's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial franchise fee for a Salon 7+ is $30,000 per salon. Itan also offers a $19,500 discount per salon for Startup Package items purchased.
This initial franchise fee is a one-time payment required to start an Itan franchise. It grants the franchisee the right to operate under the Itan brand, use its systems, and receive initial training and support. The Startup Package discount suggests that Itan may require or incentivize franchisees to purchase certain initial equipment or supplies from them.
It's important to note that this fee is just one component of the total investment required to open an Itan franchise. Prospective franchisees should carefully review Item 7 of the FDD, which outlines the estimated initial investment, including costs such as real estate, build-out, equipment, and working capital. Additionally, the FDD states that all fees are nonrefundable.
