The Process
Our 8-Step Process guarantees to guide you towards the right path of possible business ownership in the youth hairstyling industry and ensures that you only make well-informed decisions:
Would owning and operating a Chiquicuts salon be the perfect opportunity for you? Carefully analyze business trends, talk to people you trust and, above all, be honest with yourself. Once you are comfortable and completely convinced that you are ready for this particular business venture, you can now move on with this exciting process.
Fill out and return your screening questionnaire along with a signed copy of the confidentiality agreement. This will help us begin to determine your aptitude for this field as well as assure us of your readiness in owning a Chiquicuts Salon.
With all the materials in hand, you may now freely present and discuss your questions with us, along with any concerns you might have about our franchise model, system of operation, and other aspects of the business.
To give you a clearer picture of what our day-to-day operations look like, we will provide a floor observation and analysis in our location headquarters in Ottawa. This includes observing both a weekend operation and a party operation.
At this point, all approval information are to be handed in along with other needed documents, which include a Criminal Record Check, a Credit Check, an official letter from the bank stating liquid assets and personal net worth, and references. This process also includes a designation of your business territory.
Before you fully start your Chiquicuts Salon franchise, we want you to really understand the community and the commitment it takes to be a successful business owner. Our developed business plan will help you further research your prospective location to ensure that it will be a good fit for a Chiquicuts Kids Hair Salon.

The Timeline
It takes between 4 and 6 months to complete the steps to buy a franchise. Factors affecting the time to open include securing financing, selecting a location, availability of the location, negotiating a lease, and setting up your salon. If you are self-financed and quickly find a suitable location, you could be opening your store more quickly.
