What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Itan's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Itan offers several avenues of guidance to help franchisees improve their salon operations. Itan will periodically review and evaluate a franchisee's salon and the reports they submit. Based on this review, Itan will provide guidance and recommendations on ways to improve the salon's operation. This general guidance is available during normal business hours via phone, email, or other communication methods.
In addition to general guidance, Itan has the right to conduct periodic field visits to a franchisee's salon. These visits are for the purpose of providing on-site consultation, assistance, and guidance related to the operation and management of the salon. After a field visit, Itan will provide a report detailing any problems or concerns observed, along with instructions to address or resolve them. Franchisees are required to implement all mandatory corrective measures within the timeframe and manner specified by Itan.
Itan also provides marketing assistance, administering the brand and system development fund as described in further detail elsewhere in the FDD. Itan maintains a corporate website and will develop and host a local webpage for each salon, linked to the corporate site, which will include information such as the salon's address, contact information, and hours of operation. Itan retains ownership of the salon's webpage and domain name and may modify or discontinue the website at any time. These different types of guidance can help an Itan franchisee improve their business.
