Celebrating its 50th anniversary, FS® Cut & Color, also known as Fantastic Sams, has solidified itself as a trusted name in hair care. With a commitment to providing exceptional services and a strong support system for franchisees, FS continues to attract entrepreneurs seeking a rewarding business venture in the multibillion-dollar hair care industry.
Over the years, FS has modernized and transformed by leveraging cutting-edge technology, enhancing its already robust educational programs and fostering community engagement. These key differentiators ensure that franchisees and guests benefit from the high standards that define the brand.
The company also offers unmatched support and comprehensive training so its franchisees can focus on building their businesses with a reliable partner behind them.
“At Fantastic Sams, we’re not just offering a franchise; we’re providing a pathway to a fulfilling and rewarding business venture,” said Cliff Harber, franchise sales director. “Our commitment to supporting our franchisees, combined with the proven success of our brand, makes us the ideal partner for entrepreneurs looking to make their mark in the hair care industry.”
FS has much to celebrate thanks to the unmatched support and superior service it offers. Recently, the brand relaunched its private product line, developed with the latest technology and the finest ingredients, ensuring guests have access to the affordable, luxury hair care they deserve.
FS also partners with CHI/Farouk to give franchisees access to quality color products. The CHI Color Master® Factory is the latest state-of-the-art technology that provides an advanced upgrade in color techniques. These techniques allow franchisees to optimize their color services and profitability, and FS is the first company to use this exclusive technology.
Additionally, FS recently partnered with Zenoti to offer franchisees a point-of-sale system that provides excellent features, allowing for more efficient salon operations. Zenoti is the leading cloud software for beauty, wellness and fitness. The system is equipped with robust features that help salon owners manage operations, such as inventory management and marketing their salons.
The premier accomplishment for FS, however, is its 50th anniversary celebration, which was recently celebrated at its three-day conference in Las Vegas. The conference featured inspiring keynote speakers, informative workshops and trendy hair shows, allowing attendees to enhance their skills and network with other professionals.
FS is actively expanding its presence across North America. With a focus on strategic growth, the company has opened new salons in various markets throughout 2024. In addition to new construction projects, it’s also capitalizing on franchise resale opportunities. As some long-standing franchise owners retire, their salons become available for new entrepreneurs to purchase. This presents a unique opportunity for aspiring business owners to join the FS family and benefit from its established customer base and proven business model.
“As we look ahead, Fantastic Sams is more committed than ever to providing our franchisees with the tools, resources and support they need to succeed,” explained Harber. “Our focus on innovation, coupled with our unwavering dedication to customer satisfaction, positions us for continued growth and a bright future.”
