What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Itan's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Itan may hold periodic conferences to discuss business and operational matters relevant to salons. Attendance at these conferences is mandatory unless Itan designates attendance as optional or waives the franchisee's obligation based on a showing of good cause.
Itan is permitted to charge a conference registration fee of up to $400 per person per conference. Even if a franchisee fails to attend a required conference without obtaining a waiver, they are still responsible for paying the conference registration fee.
In addition to the registration fee, franchisees are also responsible for covering the wages and travel expenses incurred by themselves and their personnel when attending these conferences. This means that the total cost of attending a conference could be significantly higher than just the $400 registration fee, depending on travel distance, accommodation costs, and staff wages.
