Number of units
Primp and Blow had 18 total units in 2024, of which 12 were franchised-owned and 6 company-owned.
Primp and Blow provides several training programs for its franchisees to ensure proper operations and brand consistency. Here’s a clear breakdown:
Initial Training Program Franchisees and up to two other management team members must attend and successfully complete the initial training, which spans 10–12 days, including six days in Scottsdale, AZ, and five to six days at an operating Primp and Blow location in Phoenix. Failure to complete this training can result in termination of the franchise agreement.
On-site Pre-Opening Training Five days of on-site training are provided at the franchise location during the two weeks leading up to the opening. Additionally, an operations supervisor is present for up to three days before and during the grand opening event.
Additional Requested Training Franchisees can request extra training at their salon, which is provided at the franchisor’s standard daily rates, plus reimbursement for expenses like instructor fees, travel, and materials.
Territory Protection
Primp and Blow offers its franchisees a Designated Territory, which serves as an exclusive geographic area described in the Franchise Agreement. Within this territory, the franchisor agrees not to open or permit another Primp and Blow salon, as long as the franchisee remains compliant with the agreement.
The territory is usually defined as a three-mile radius around the franchise location or, in densely populated areas, an equivalent area covering at least 25,000 people. However, Primp and Blow does not restrict itself or other franchisees from providing off-premise services within any territory, including the Designated Territory.
While franchisees can also offer off-premise services both inside and outside their territory, they cannot independently advertise or market outside their assigned area without prior written approval. Additionally, the franchisor retains the right to use other channels, such as online sales, even within a franchisee’s territory.
