New franchisees are required to complete a thorough initial training program designed to equip them with the necessary skills and knowledge to manage a Blo Blow Dry Bar franchise effectively. This program encompasses:
Some training sessions may be conducted remotely through various technology platforms.
Franchisees have the option to request additional training or support at their franchise location. The franchisor may impose a fee for this extra training, which also covers associated costs such as travel, accommodation, and meals for the trainers.
During the first twelve months after opening, franchisees are required to participate in a "first-year coaching program." This includes continuous support and possibly mandatory on-site training sessions for the franchisee, the General Manager, or other staff members, ensuring the franchise maintains high standards of operation.
Franchisees are granted a "Protected Territory" by the franchisor, within which the franchisor agrees not to establish competing businesses. This territory is geographically defined but may be subject to change based on market conditions. Despite this territorial protection, the franchisor retains the right to sell proprietary products within the territory through online and other channels.
Franchisees must obtain approval from the franchisor to market outside their designated territory and may offer certain services beyond it, adhering to the franchisor's guidelines. Additionally, the franchisor reserves the right to operate in "Special Venues" within these protected areas. Franchisees should be aware that they may face competition from other franchisees and company-owned locations within their territory.
