Hello all ,

I dont know if this question is even allowed in here ? I sure dont want to offend anyone . I have been looking into opening a salon in a growing town that currently doesnt have one at all. Popuilation is about 25k to mabey 40K with winter visitor making the 15k influx from sept/oct to about april. My question is are all of you independant owners or are some of you franchised location owners? Pros and cons to the franchise versus starting from scratch? any advice or opinions would be great .. Can we mention franchise names?? thanks in advance
