Frenchies Modern Nail Care is a contemporary nail salon franchise that emphasizes cleanliness, health, and customer experience. Founded in 2014 by husband-and-wife team Guy and Stephanie Coffey in Littleton, Colorado, the brand was established to address common concerns in traditional nail salons, such as sanitation and product safety.
The Coffeys leveraged their extensive franchising experience, including multi-unit ownership of Anytime Fitness and leadership at Waxing the City, to create a unique nail care concept.
Frenchies began franchising in 2015 and has since expanded to over 20 locations across the United States. The company's headquarters remain in Littleton, Colorado.
Frenchies offers a range of services, including manicures, pedicures, and gel nails, using non-toxic products and adhering to hospital-grade sanitation protocols. This commitment to health and cleanliness sets Frenchies apart from many traditional nail salons.

Frenchies® provides a comprehensive and structured training program for franchisees and their staff to ensure consistent operations and brand quality. Here are the key training programs offered:
Initial Training Program This includes both business-related training and studio opening and technical service training. Business Training is provided either virtually or at designated locations, and Studio Opening Training involves on-site support, software, and sales training by a studio opener over three days. Up to three attendees are included in the training fee, and additional participants are subject to extra charges.
Advanced and Ongoing Training Frenchies® may offer advanced training such as refresher courses, "train the trainer" programs, and manager training. These are provided either at the studio or designated facilities and are subject to availability and fees. Franchisees are responsible for associated costs including travel and accommodations.
Pre-Opening Consultation Before opening, the franchisor provides guidance on studio layout, furnishings, staffing, and operational procedures. This support ensures readiness for launch and includes assistance with employee recruitment and initial preparations.
Territory Protection
Frenchies® offers territory protection to its franchisees in the form of a designated “Protected Area” around each approved studio location. This Protected Area is typically a circular zone with a population cap or geographic limit, such as a radius up to three miles.
Within this area, the franchisor agrees not to authorize or operate another Frenchies® Studio, with certain exceptions known as “Closed Markets.”
Closed Markets include high-traffic venues like airports, schools, and resorts, where services may be contracted to third parties. If a franchisee qualifies and is not in default, they are granted a 30-day right of first refusal for new opportunities in these locations.
