Founded in Salt Lake City, the brand has grown rapidly, offering high-end, turnkey salon suites designed for hairstylists, estheticians, and other beauty professionals.

This franchise is ideal for entrepreneurs and investors looking for a scalable, passive-income opportunity in the beauty and wellness industry.
