About FS Cut and Color
With close to 550 locations in North America, FS Cut and Color 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 both men and women that includes various shampoos, conditioners, and styling products.
Our Hair salon franchise opportunity is a business model that offers investors a chance to start a hair care business with the backing of an established brand.
Values & History
In July 1974, Sam Ross opened the first Fantastic Sams® beauty salon in Memphis, Tennessee (now known as FS Cut and Color), with the goal of creating an affordable salon experience that was accessible to everyone. Today, FS Cut and Color has been a trusted name in the beauty industry for over four decades. We've evolved and grown over the years, but our commitment to providing high-quality, affordable hair services remains as strong as ever.
