What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to My Salon Suite's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, My Salon Suite does have an approved vendor for website creation. This means that franchisees are required to use this vendor to create their website for the franchised business.
My Salon Suite maintains a list of approved vendors in its Franchise Operations Manual, which may be updated. Franchisees may request approval for a non-approved vendor, but My Salon Suite may charge a fee between $100 and $500 for the evaluation. My Salon Suite may also provide its standards and specifications directly to approved vendors.
My Salon Suite estimates that required purchases from approved vendors will account for 25.1% to 28.9% of the total costs incurred in establishing the franchised business, and 31.1% to 35.8% of the ongoing costs to operate the franchised business after the initial start-up phase. This indicates that using approved vendors is a significant part of the overall investment and operational expenses for a My Salon Suite franchise. It is important to note that My Salon Suite and its affiliates may receive rebates from vendors based on franchisee purchases.
