Supercuts uses a Development Fee structure in lieu of a separate Initial Franchise Fee for new franchisees (those signing after September 29, 2011). The Development Fee serves as full payment for development and franchise rights: $39,500 for a Single Salon, $69,500 for 3-Salon Fast Start, $99,500 for 6-Salon Fast Start, plus $10,000 for each additional Salon beyond 6. There is no separate Initial Franchise Fee charged under the Franchise Agreement for these new franchisees. Existing franchisees who signed before September 30, 2011 pay lower Development Fees ($10,000–$12,500 per Salon) and $0 Initial Franchise Fee. During the last fiscal year, Development Fees ranged from $0 to $39,500, reflecting possible waivers or reductions in unique situations.
