join north america’s largest and fastest-growing beauty bar

franchising is a unique business relationship governed by a contract (aka the franchise agreement) where in which a franchisor grants a franchisee the right to use it’s brand and operating system for a period of time along with assistance for initial start-up and ongoing support. for this the franchisee pays an initial fee and ongoing monthly royalty fees. in short, you own your own business, but your business is required to operate using the franchisor’s “system”. for full deets check out kristen’s ‘franchising 101’ blog posts here!

we require that our franchise partners dedicate full time hours to the business either as the designated manager or (if you own more than one 10spot^®) that you are heavily involved in overseeing the management of all your locations.

our concept works best if you are a sole owner that will be working as the manager of your location (we want our franchise partners to be the ‘face’ of their location) or if doing a partnership; one of you keeps your day job while the other operates your location. fact is, you’ll make more money doing it alone and it can be operated by one person.

for sure! in fact, the more the better for you and THE TEN SPOT®. we are seeking ambitious individuals who are capable of operating multiple locations and growing big with us!

THE TEN SPOT^® requirements for a beauty bar location are approximately 1200-1500 square feet. it all depends on your space and the layout as to how many stations can fit. usually, it’s 4-6 mani stations, 6-8 pedi stations (they also combo as mani+pedi stations), 3-4 waxing rooms (with one being fit for facials and laser services if applicable).

that primarily depends on the availability of locations in the area that you have selected for your bar. once your space has been found and the lease has been signed, the usual build-out time is an average of three to four months.

at this time, THE TEN SPOT^® does not offer financing assistance. financing options may be pursued through third parties. however, the us and canadian government has small business financing programs for ‘bricks and mortar style businesses like ours. these loans can be used to cover up to 90% of leasehold improvements, fixtures and equipment costs of your ‘build out’, however about 20%-35% of your start up costs must be covered by unencumbered cash (this is used to cover the initial fee, rent, and various start-up supplies).

profitability depends on many factors including operating and occupancy costs, financing terms and most importantly, your ability to operate the business effectively. we give you the keys but you’re the driver!

absolutely. at the time a location is determined for your first store a “protected area” will be established. the size of the area will depend on the density of population, traffic, competition and other factors.
