Beauty Salon Franchise

Undesired hair is a problem for over 80% of women and more than half of men. The hair removal technique using Intense Pulsed Light is one of  the most successful and efficient depilatory methods, it can be used to permanently reduce unwanted hair. 

Initially reserved to an exclusive few, due to the prohibitive cost of the treatments, in the last few years, consumer habits have changed and this has fuelled an incredible increase in demand.

DepiCool offers Intense Pulsed Light treatments at a budget price of £49.00 flat rate per area.

DepiCool's stylish branding, combined with a cheerful, accessible staff, means customers are happy to get permanent hair reduction at an economic price. In the same way a budget airline gets you from A to B, DepiCool delivers quality, cost effective intense pulsed light treatments.



DepiCool centres offer a low cost entry into the booming permanent hair reduction market via a simple, stylish business format.

Started in Spain in 2006 DepiCool now has a presence in major cities such as Madrid and Barcelona. Based on their success, DepiCool opened a pilot centre in London in Summer 2008 and launched the franchise system later that year. There are now three centres in London – Liverpool Street, Covent Garden & Kings Cross.

Liverpool Street	Covent Garden	Kings Cross

DepiCool offers two levels of entry and provides a complete package, for both levels which includes: All the necessary equipment Training Logistics Marketing support

1. Investors/Entrepreneurs

A fantastic opportunity for any individual or business, wanting to open, manage and develop a highly profitable business taking advantage of DepiCool’s experience in the industry and full support.

No previous experience is necessary and there is no legal restriction to owning a permanent hair removal centre. People assume that only a dermatologist or plastic surgeon can own a permanent hair reduction practice - this is not the case, the majority of our franchisees have no previous experience. Our operational processes enable us to run a centre with just one individual, so no need for the business owner to be present at the centre at all times, making it possible for franchisees to open more than one centre!


2. Self-Employed Owner-Operators

If you are looking for personal and professional freedom from your current Employer, DepiCool Franchise is the perfect opportunity.
 
To operate under the self-employed model, it will be necessary to have a minimum of NVQ Level 3, or equivalent and no previous experience in beauty therapy is required.
 
All our UK centres are registered with the Care Quality Commission (www.cqc.org.uk)

You can start your own centre from £15,000 + premises costs!
We believe we provide the most attractive offer for anyone considering starting a business in this sector. To start a DepiCool franchise there are ONLY two costs:
    

• Premises: deposit, lease and outfitting - cost depends on selected centre
• Standard DepiCool start-up package

Cost: £30,000 / €35,000

DepiCool financed start-up package

DepiCool offer financing assistance to qualified practitioners and - in some cases to investors/entrepreneurs:

Cost: £15,000 - Balance paid over the lease term (please contact us for more details)

With a financed package, the total cost of launching your own DepiCool centre, including lease and outfitting can be (using London costs as an example) as little as £26,000 / £31,000 - little less than the cost of purchasing a quality Intense Pulsed Light machine.

Operating costs:  Each month there are three main costs, apart from staff, to be covered:
    

• Consumables for treatment: these costs depend on the number of treatments given and normally work out at 10% of the sale amount. DepiCool benefits from cost-savings by buying centrally, and passing savings onto franchisees.
• Royalties: £250 to support franchisees, give assistance, visit the premises, network emulation, on-going training etc.
• Marketing fee: to support customer generation, all marketing and advertising campaigns.
  

DepiCool have 3 successful centres in London and are looking to expand with centres nationwide.
