n.a.

Established in 2005 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Regal Nails Salon & Spa has grown into one of the largest nail salon franchisors in the United States, with a presence in Canada and Puerto Rico. The corporate headquarters remain in Baton Rouge.

Regal Nails began franchising in 2006, offering entrepreneurs the opportunity to operate salons within high-traffic retail locations such as Walmart, HEB, Meijer, and AAFES.

This strategic placement provides franchisees with immediate access to a broad customer base. The salons offer a variety of services, including manicures, pedicures, acrylic nails, and gel polish applications, catering to diverse client preferences.

What distinguishes Regal Nails is its commitment to stringent hygiene standards and customer service. The company was a pioneer in implementing hospital-grade disinfectants, autoclaves for sterilization, and single-use porous implements, setting new benchmarks in the industry.

Training

Regal Nails, Salon & Spa requires franchisees and their managers to attend a mandatory three-day training program prior to the grand opening of the franchise.

The training, conducted at the franchisor's home office, covers essential aspects of franchise operations, including salon establishment, marketing strategies, hiring practices, customer relations, personnel management, and accounting.

While the training provides operational guidance, it does not include training for professional licensure, such as performing manicures and pedicures, which must be obtained separately through state-approved educational programs. Franchisees are responsible for all associated training expenses.

Territory Protection

Regal Nails, Salon & Spa does not provide exclusive or protected territories to its franchisees. The franchisor grants a non-exclusive territory, meaning that Regal Nails reserves the right to operate or franchise other salons within or outside the franchisee's designated area.

This arrangement allows the franchisor to expand without geographical restrictions, even if it impacts existing franchisees.

Additionally, the franchise agreement specifies that the territory remains valid as long as the franchisee complies with all obligations under the agreement.
