Franchise Frequently Asked Questions
What qualifications do you seek in a franchisee?
We seek positive, customer focused people who are highly motivated with a desire and commitment to build a successful business while having fun.
Do I need hair care experience?
Not at all. We actually prefer previous management or business experience to hair care experience. Your stylist will handle the hair while you focus on building your business.
Why choose Sharkey's Cuts for Kids over another salon?
We are the most innovative and entertaining salon for both boys and girls ages 0-12 around the globe. Our proven business models, which feature lower than average royalties and three revenue streams, gives you the best opportunity for success.
What is your "Turnkey package"?
All the store equipment and installation is included in the franchise fee - plus all the franchise information and training you will need to open for business.
What does it cost to open a Sharkey's Cuts for Kids?
You should expect to invest between $68,920 - $86,995 for a Sharkey's Jr., and $127,925 - $175,500 for a Sharkey's Deluxe model. Typical financing will cover 75-80% of this amount.
Can I open multiple salons?
Yes, if you qualify, we encourage our franchisees to own more than one salon. In fact, we offer substantial discounts off the franchise fee for multiple salons.
Do I need to work in the salon(s)?
For single salon owners we do not require you to work full-time in the salon, however, we highly encourage it. Any business you own will be more successful with your involvement in the day-to-day operations. Multi-store owners must work full-time or hire a management team. Sharkey's Jr. (1-9 hrs/week) will require significantly less management time for an owner than a Sharkey's Deluxe (30+ hrs/week).
What support do you offer?
We offer unsurpassed, dedicated franchisee support. Here are just a few key items:
- 4 day comprehensive training
- Site selection & negotiation
- Salon design and layout
- Grand opening and continuous marketing programs
- On-site assistance during grand opening week
- Owners meetings to discuss operations and marketing
OK, I'm ready to move forward. What are the next steps?
We ask that you complete our Franchising Application and submit to the Area Developer or Franchisor. Upon approval of your application, we will send you a current copy of our Franchise Disclosure Documents and schedule. a Discovery Day visit.
