A Multi-Unit Franchise Opportunity in Premium Men's Grooming.

Men are investing more in how they look and feel than ever before, and Boardroom Salon for Men is built for the premium end of that shift. This is not another barbershop chasing low-margin cuts. It is an upscale, club-like grooming destination for professional men aged 25 to 60, delivering haircuts, color, shaves, facials, massage, waxing, and premium grooming products in a setting that turns a routine into an experience worth returning to. Franchising since 2007, the concept is proven, the category is outpacing mass-market hair care, and there is real white space for a genuine premium men's brand.

Why Now

Boardroom has quietly done the hard part already: it has built and operated the model at scale, and it is now reopening franchise growth with its economics fully on the table. The franchised base grew from six to nine salons in 2025, its first franchise-side growth in years, with a signed agreement pending opening and projected new openings in Georgia and Pennsylvania. That means a sophisticated operator can enter early, ahead of the crowd, on a brand that is already working rather than one still finding its footing.

The Proof: Real, Disclosed Economics.

Most emerging brands ask you to take revenue on faith. Boardroom shows you profitability. Among the franchised salons that reported a full year of operations in 2025, as disclosed in Item 19 of the 2026 FDD:

Cash revenue ranged from roughly $701,000 to $1.40 million per salon
Top-performing salons produced $1.3 to $1.4 million in cash revenue
Adjusted gross EBITDA margins of 30% to 39%
Franchise-adjusted net EBITDA of roughly $138,000 to $384,000, or 18% to 27% of cash revenue, after royalties, national and local advertising, and technology fees

Just as telling: across the last three years, not a single Boardroom franchisee has been terminated, walked away, or closed (Item 20). Owners stay because the model works.

The Model: A Portfolio, Not a Storefront

Boardroom is built for operators who think in units. The core offering is a three-unit development agreement within a protected Development Area, so you are building a footprint, not buying a job.

Investment, single salon: $574,900 to $795,150 (includes a $50,000 initial franchise fee)
Investment, three-unit development agreement: $1,694,700 to $2,355,450
Operating structure: executive-owner / semi-absentee. A franchisor-approved, fully trained General Manager runs day-to-day operations while you run the business. For multi-unit owners, each salon operates under a full-time, on-site GM.

Boardroom does not offer in-house financing, which makes this a fit for self-funded and SBA-ready operators, and keeps the candidate pool serious.

The Backing

You are not building alone. Boardroom was recapitalized under a new holding company in 2018, and its affiliate owns and operates 35 company-owned salons across Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia. That gives corporate real skin in the game, deep operating data from dozens of units, and a support infrastructure you inherit rather than invent.

Who We're Looking For

Proven multi-unit operators and experienced business owners, ideally from adjacent appointment-based service and retail categories (fitness, waxing and med-spa, hospitality)
Capitalized and financing-ready, comfortable with a three-unit commitment
Active owners, not passive investors. Boardroom's model rewards engaged ownership and oversight of a strong GM.
