What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to My Salon Suite's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to purchase specific items and services necessary for establishing and operating their franchised business. These "Required Purchases" include specific salon equipment, beauty supplies, and other items that must adhere to the System Standards. These purchases must be made from My Salon Suite's approved or designated vendors ("Approved Vendors").
Prior to opening their My Salon Suite franchise, franchisees will receive a list of these Required Purchases and Approved Vendors. This list may be found in the Manual or provided separately in writing. My Salon Suite retains the right to modify or supplement these lists at its discretion.
This requirement ensures that all My Salon Suite locations maintain a consistent standard of quality and service. While it limits the franchisee's choice of suppliers, it also provides the benefit of pre-approved vendors who meet My Salon Suite's standards. Franchisees should carefully review the list of Required Purchases and Approved Vendors to understand the potential costs and limitations involved in sourcing these items.
