What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Itan's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees receive 8 hours of on-the-job training specifically for 'Team evaluation'. This training takes place at the franchisee's salon, though the exact location is to be determined (TBD).
This on-the-job training is in addition to other training programs Itan provides. These include in-person training in San Diego, California, team training, team management, brand experience, and other topics delivered via LMS (Learning Management System) or MS Teams. The initial training program also includes remote and onsite training components.
Prospective Itan franchisees should note that the 'Team evaluation' training is conducted at their own salon, allowing for practical application of the concepts learned. The 'TBD' designation for the location suggests that the specific area within the salon where the training occurs may vary. Franchisees should confirm with Itan what the 'Team evaluation' on-the-job training will specifically cover and how it will be delivered at their salon.
Understanding the specifics of the 'Team evaluation' training is crucial for franchisees to effectively manage and develop their salon staff. This training, combined with the other training programs, aims to equip franchisees with the necessary skills to operate a successful Itan salon.
