For 50 years now, Fantastic Sams® has been the salon of choice, providing an array of services suitable for everyone at affordable prices. We are the first nationally franchised unisex salon, and we’ve been growing since 1976. Now, our New Image Salon brings style and beauty back to the affordable salon experience, and entrepreneurs across the country are introducing a new generation of loyal customers to our iconic brand. Each Salon accepts Walk-In’s and Appointments.
With close to 600 locations in North America, Fantastic Sams® is a national, full-service salon brand, offering cuts, color, texture, facial waxing, and styling services. We also have a full line of proprietary products for men and women, including various shampoos, conditioners, and styling products. The variety of services and products means greater opportunity for higher revenue. We have the industry leading CHI Color Factory Machine that eliminates most color mixing errors, eliminating the need for a separate “colorist”.
