Amazing Lash Studio franchise FAQ
How much does it cost to open one — the total initial investment?
The total estimated initial investment to begin operations of a single Amazing Lash Studio® franchise ranges from $484,684 to $770,754. This includes an amount between $109,674 and $121,924 that must be paid to the franchisor or its affiliates [p.1].
What is the initial franchise fee?
The initial franchise fee is $50,000, which must be paid as a lump sum by wire transfer. This fee is fully earned by the company upon execution of the agreement and is not refundable [p.14, p.120].
What are the ongoing royalty and advertising fees?
The ongoing royalty fee is six percent (6%) of your Studio's Gross Receipts, paid twice per month on the 5th and 16th days of each month [p.120]. Advertising fees are not specifically detailed in these excerpts; however, they may be included under marketing fund fees collected monthly for managed marketing services [p.256].
How long is the initial franchise agreement, and can I renew it?
The initial franchise agreement is typically for a term of 10 years [p.253] and can be renewed after the initial term for an additional fee [p.253].
Can I sell or transfer my franchise, and what does that require?
Yes, you can sell or transfer your franchise, but it requires payment of a transfer fee. The fee is 50% of the current initial franchise fee for new franchises, unless the transfer involves an ownership interest equal to or less than 10%, in which case you must pay $2,500 plus any administrative costs and broker's fees if applicable [p.22]. This payment must be made via wire transfer at the time of signing a conditional consent to transfer [p.22].
On what grounds can the franchisor terminate the agreement?
The franchisor may terminate the agreement on any grounds available by law [p.76]. Additionally, the franchise agreement may allow termination if the franchisee fails to comply with lawful provisions of the agreement and does not cure such failure within a reasonable time frame [p.5]. This isn't specified in the excerpts for all possible grounds, but these are the ones mentioned.
What financial requirements — net worth and liquid capital — do I need to qualify?
To qualify, you must demonstrate sufficient liquidity and working capital reserves to meet your obligations under the agreement [p.193]. Additionally, upon request from the franchisor, you must provide suitable credit and financial information, including a personal net worth statement, to assess your creditworthiness and financial position [p.174].
Do I get an exclusive or protected territory?
No, you will not receive an exclusive territory [p.45, p.48, p.115]. However, you are granted a Protected Area where we will not establish or license others to establish new Studios while you comply with the Franchise Agreement [p.45, p.48]. This Protected Area is typically defined as a circle with a 1.5-mile radius centered on your Studio, though it can be adjusted based on various factors including population density and site-specific data [p.45].
What training and ongoing support does the franchisor provide?
The franchisor provides various forms of training, including in-person or electronic courses, trade shows, certification programs, performance groups, and webinars [p.20, p.44, p.124]. These trainings can be mandatory for employees at the Studio, such as the Designated Manager [p.20, p.44, p.124]. Additionally, the franchisor may offer an on-site training team if requested and paid for by the franchisee [p.20]. The franchisor also requires a Sales Training Series before or after the Studio opens, consisting of four virtual calls [p.75, p.124]. This isn't specified in the excerpts.
How many franchised outlets are there, and how many have closed or been terminated?
As of December 31, 2025, there were 166 franchised Amazing Lash Studio® locations in operation in the United States. Additionally, 41 studios had closed during that year (none less than 12 months old). The total number of Drybar franchise shops in the United States was 198 as of the same date, but this information does not specify closures or terminations for Drybar franchises. [p.58] [p.9]
Does the franchisor share any financial performance or earnings information?
The franchisor does not make any financial performance representations other than the one specified in Item 19, and it does not authorize its employees or representatives to make such representations. However, if you are purchasing an existing outlet, the franchisor may provide actual records of that outlet's performance upon reasonable request [p.60]. This isn't specified in the excerpts for new franchises.
What am I restricted to selling, and where must I buy supplies?
You must sell or offer for sale only the products and services that the franchisor has approved, and you must purchase and use only the brands, types, or models of products, materials, supplies, and services (including the Operating Assets and the Computer System) that the franchisor designates [p.52]. You are required to buy cabinetry and millwork from the franchisor's designated supplier [p.26]. This isn't specified in the excerpts for other specific supply sources.
