What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to My Salon Suite's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, attendance at the annual conference is required. The conference is scheduled and held at My Salon Suite's discretion to discuss the current state of the franchise system, improvements, and to hold discussion forums and recognize franchisees. Franchisees are required to attend for up to three days each year and pay the then-current registration fee.
If a My Salon Suite franchisee does not attend the annual conference, they will be charged the then-current registration fee as well as a fee for non-attendance. This policy ensures that franchisees stay informed about the brand's direction and maintain a connection with the broader My Salon Suite community.
This requirement and the associated fees for non-attendance are designed to encourage participation and engagement within the My Salon Suite franchise system. Franchisees should factor these costs into their annual budget and prioritize attendance to avoid incurring additional expenses.
