What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Itan's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial franchise fee varies depending on the type of salon. For a standard Itan salon, the initial franchise fee ranges from $30,000 to $49,500, depending on the discount applied. The highest fee of $49,500 applies to Salon 1, which receives no discount unless a veteran's discount applies. The lowest fee of $30,000 applies to Salon 7+, which receives a $19,500 discount per salon, but requires the purchase of startup package items.
In addition to the standard Itan salons, there are also franchise fees for other business types. A FIT Bodywrap franchise has an initial fee of $4,000. For TANOLOGY skincare products, the initial fee ranges from $150 to $200. The initial fee for BRONZE LUMINESSENCE lotion is $150, while the CALIFORNIA SPA Ageless Serum has an initial fee of $104. Branded supplies such as name tags and tote bags have an initial fee of $250.
The total initial franchise fee, considering all the options, ranges from $4,654 to $4,704. This total appears to be a sum of fees for smaller items and not the full franchise fee for a salon. A prospective franchisee should clarify with Itan what the initial franchise fee would be for the specific type of franchise they are interested in.
