Frenchies Franchise

Frenchies, LLC was formed in Colorado in March 2015 and began offering franchises in April 2015. The franchisor is now based in Southlake, Texas, and is part of Head to Toe Brands. Its parent is controlled by investment funds managed by The Riverside Company. Frenchies studios serve men and women with manicure, pedicure and related nail-care services in a dedicated retail setting.

The March 27, 2026 FDD describes studios typically ranging from 1,200 to 1,800 square feet, often in shopping centers, retail strips or urban storefronts. The initial franchise fee for a single studio is $50,000, and an $8,000 initial training fee covers two individuals. The franchisor also offers qualified operators a separate development agreement for multiple studios, with a schedule for opening each location.

Initial training combines virtual and in-person Business Training, typically hosted in Dallas, with Studio Opening Training at the franchisee’s location. Subjects include operations and employee experience, performance measurement, point-of-sale systems, accounting, purchasing, sales and marketing. The $8,000 training fee covers up to two trainees and the corporate trainer’s travel for the first studio’s opening training; owner and manager travel expenses are additional. Owners must complete both components, and the studio’s general manager must also meet the applicable training requirements.

Pre-opening support includes site approval, operations manuals, studio layout and development advice, and initial training for the opening team. After opening, Frenchies provides consultation as it considers appropriate on studio management, new services and products, marketing and financial matters, together with approved supplier information. Owners can access advertising templates through the intranet and use designated systems for appointments, customer management, point-of-sale transactions, inventory and staff education. Additional courses and seminars may be required, with applicable fees and travel expenses.

Frenchies offers a focused beauty-service concept built around hand and foot care in a purpose-designed studio. Its operating system brings together service standards, studio layout, approved supplies and technology for managing appointments and the customer experience. This can suit an owner interested in organizing a service team and developing ongoing relationships with local guests.

An owner oversees the general business, while a designated general manager devotes full-time effort to daily operations, promotion and growth; the same person may fill both roles. The combination of business training and on-site opening instruction supports that management role. For owners with broader development plans, the separate multi-studio program provides a structured schedule for establishing additional locations.
