The establishment is seeking to set-up about 150 saloons in the region over the subsequent three years, against the current tally of 51. Among this, only 25% will be formed as COCO (company-owned, company-operated) outlets, while aspiring entrepreneurs can stake their claim on the rest.

The recruited employees will be trained for at-least three years, so as to enable them to meet the standards expected in the establishment. The franchisees will be provided with a detailed operating manual for conducting its operations, and will receive the essential field assistance. The Head Office will closely work with the franchisees to assist them in its formation.
