Our Salon Franchise is a Recession Resilient Opportunity
While riding the highs of a booming economy, we often forget that what goes up must come down. Fluctuations are a natural, inevitable part of the economy. Businesses that are built to withstand low points are the ones that come out stronger when the economy rises again. If you're looking for a "recession proof business to start", consider the hair salon industry.
Think hair care is an unnecessary expense? Think again, because most Americans will disagree. When the economy slows and wallets get tight, spending on hair care remains steady. Even in hard times, everyone wants to look good. Keeping up appearances helps individuals boost their morale, something that is usually low during recession.
While the current COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected the economy, evidence from past recessions show that the hair care industry can withstand economic pressures.
"We're looking for franchise partners who fit our culture, who value the idea of community, and who are driven to grow their business."
