The Amazing Lash Studio's open-and-grow model aims to help franchisees open their studios faster which may result in them succeeding more quickly, which could also allow for a possible increase in client membership.

What Might Make an Amazing Lash Studio a Good Choice?

To be part of the Amazing Lash Studio team, you should make sure you’re financially ready for an initial investment made up of a franchise fee and other startup costs. In addition, you should be prepared for ongoing fees that will include advertising, royalty, and renewal fees. Franchisees will also need to meet the company's set net worth and liquid capital requirements.

Amazing Lash Studio has been ranked in Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500 multiple times in recent years. This ranking is based on an evaluation of more than 150 data points in the areas of costs and fees, size and growth, franchisee support, brand strength, and financial strength and stability.

How To Open an Amazing Lash Studio Franchise

To start your Amazing Lash Studio franchise, you’ll first go through a pre-qualification process. This includes filling out a form and waiting for a franchise specialist to get in touch with you. If you make it past this step, they will send you the Franchise Disclosure Document so you can better understand what it means to own and operate a franchise.

Afterward, you may receive support from the Amazing Lash Studio team as you review the steps to open your studio. Finally, if both sides agree you’re a good fit, you may meet the executive team.

Soon you may be providing amazing lashes at your own Amazing Lash Studio!
