Franchising FAQs

It’s a business model that allows another business to use the marks and system of another, usually for a fee or royalty.

Operating a Regal Nails Salon & Spa is an opportunity to be part of the largest nail salon franchise in the United States. As a franchisee, you would still own and operate the salon with the benefit of using the REGAL NAILS SALON & SPA trademarks and brand (as established by the corporate office.)

A Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) is required to be sent to a prospective franchisee prior to any contract signing or exchange of funds. The FDD provides information to the prospective franchisee on the franchisor, the franchise system, and the rights and obligations of the franchisees.

The floor plan and architect are usually included as part of the package.

• Discounts from Alfalfa Nails Supply, Inc.
• Use of the Regal Nails Salon & Spa marks and brand

The initial franchise fee of $15,000 is due at the time you sign the franchise agreement and sublease.

The cost of the store depends on the package you select. The price varies according to the value and deluxe package. The cost of the store includes build-out (construction), furniture, fixture, equipment and set up. Again, the inventory, equipment and fixtures vary according to the different packages.

Construction costs are part of the packages. The type and scope of construction work depend on the package you choose. We will hire a contractor with a team of subcontractors to do the physical build-out of your store in accordance with the local building codes. The construction work usually includes plumbing, electrical and mechanical needs.

If you prefer to hire your own contractors and, in rare circumstances, are permitted to, you are required to provide a copy of a current contractor license and proof of insurance to our Construction Director (Project Manager). It is usually good to double-check their reference or for testimonials on the contractor’s previous work.
