Regal Nails Salon & Spa requires a total initial investment of $173K to $721K (midpoint approximately $447K), with an initial franchise fee of $25K.
Regal Nails Salon & Spa does not publicly disclose Item 19 financial performance data in their FDD. This is a significant transparency gap — franchisees must rely on validation calls and personal research rather than audited financial representations. Prospective buyers should demand current unit-level financials from existing operators during due diligence.
Regal Nails Salon & Spa operates approximately 564 franchised units. However, the brand has been contracting with a 4.6% net unit decline, which may signal franchisee dissatisfaction, territory saturation, or competitive pressure. The SBA 7(a) loan default rate of 50.0% is above the franchise industry average of approximately 7.2%, suggesting elevated financial risk for franchisees relying on debt financing.
Prospective franchisees should verify all figures against the most recent FDD, conduct validation calls with multiple existing franchisees, and consult with a franchise attorney before signing any agreement.
