Is lessor consent required for a My Salon Suite franchise transfer?

According to My Salon Suite's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a transfer of the franchise may require the lessor's consent. Specifically, if the terms of any leases or other agreements related to the franchise require it, the lessor or other involved parties must consent to the proposed transfer.

This condition means that if the franchisee's lease agreement for the My Salon Suite location includes clauses requiring landlord approval for any transfer of the business, the franchisee must obtain this consent as part of the transfer process. This is a fairly standard requirement in commercial leases, as landlords want to ensure that any new tenant or business operator is financially stable and will maintain the property appropriately.

For a prospective My Salon Suite franchisee, this underscores the importance of carefully reviewing the lease agreement and understanding its transfer provisions. If the lease requires lessor consent, the franchisee should factor in the time and effort required to obtain this consent when planning a potential sale. Failure to obtain the necessary consent could delay or even prevent the transfer of the franchise.
