Many hairstylists who are moms couldn’t imagine turning in their professional shears for bottles, diapers and play-dates 24-7. But sometimes the life of a hairstylist isn’t conducive to having kids or a family. One chain of hair salons is aiming to change all that.
Fantastic Sams Hair Salons, the nation’s largest full service hair salon brand, has a unique business model that allows women entrepreneurs to successfully achieve work/life balance. Ranked as one of Entrepreneur Magazines Top 10% of franchises to buy and featured on Lifetime’s The Balancing Act, over 40% of Fantastic Sams salons/franchisees are women owned.
Fantastic Sams has a solid, proven system of success, which allows women business owners to go into business for themselves, but not by themselves. Along with a network of support, the salons also offer moms the flexibility to run out to pick up kids, spend time with families and work the hours they want to work.
And since salons typically aren’t hit too hard even when a recession hits – especially economically priced locales – they have a fairly safe, steady stream of income.
The average initial investment to open a Fantastic Sams salon (ranging from $100,000 to $225,000) and the company’s fixed fee royalties make it one of the most competitive opportunities in the industry.
So moms, hang on to those professional shears, and live your dream!
