Hair care is a $59 billion industry that continues to grow with the population. Despite recent economic downturns, most salons are now reporting that their businesses are on the upswing. In an American Salon 2011 study, the majority of salon professionals stated they were either holding steady, getting better or experiencing great business success. Hair care franchises and beauty salon businesses are considered a sound investment because they require relatively modest start-up funds and are based on a proven, easy to operate business model.

Celebrities and the fashion world influence the hair care industry. The demand for hair coloring and other advanced hair treatments has increased in recent years, particularly among baby boomers and younger people who are following the fashion trends. Women are relying more on salons for color treatments than ever before and more than 35 percent (35%) of men are frequenting salons instead of barber shops – a 34 percent (34%) increase since 1999. Add it all up and you’ll see why a full-service hair care franchise is a great recession-resistant business opportunity.

Fantastic Sams is the country's largest full-service hair salon franchise with nearly 40 years of experience in a multi-faceted, growth oriented industry.
