Fantastic Sams Franchise Cost and Requirements for 2025

Background

Fantastic Sams is a great alternative to costly, high-end salons. We set up shop in neighborhood shopping centers near where people live, we keep convenient hours, we accept walk-ins and we offer services for men, women and children. We offer families a one-stop family shop, which fosters intense customer loyalty. Four decades later we're still growing strong with our trend-right salons.

Fantastic Sams has remained relevant because we specialize in offering affordable options for what full-service beauty salon customers seek.

Franchisee Benefits

Fantastic Sams franchisees receive the benefits of:

  • A recognized and beloved national brand
  • The security of a large, trend-setting organization
  • The support of a well-resourced chain

"Owning a Fantastic Sams is an entrepreneur's dream," says franchisee Rick Tonet, who has four salons in the Pittsburgh area. "They are not in your face every day. It's like: 'Here's everything you need. If you need help, we're there for you.' And I like that."

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
