Q&A: Franchising OPI Concept Salons

I want to open an OPI Concept Salon using only products made by OPI. I am located in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, and I'm sure I would do very well. Would I be allowed to use the OPI name in my salon name? I’d appreciate any advice you can give me! Thanks!

Hi Sherry,
 
Thanks for your interest.
 
We’re working on coming up with a franchise or other program that would let other salon owners use the “OPI” name. Unfortunately, it’s not a simple thing to come up with. We don’t want to launch it until we work through any and all issues at ROB|B. I should have an answer for you by the end of this year or the beginning of next. There’s not a current program that will let you use OPI in your salon name.

Hi George and Robbie! This is Robert in Seattle =] I own 2 nails salon in Seattle, WA and I wanted to introduce myself because I'm franchising my nail concept as well.

Wasn't sure how to get in touch with you any other way. =]

I know you guys are looking into franchising the OPI Concept Store and I wanted to chat with you to see if it might be a good synergy for us to work together.

We've grown to 2 locations within 3 years and we anticipate having 15 stores in Washington within 3-5 more years.

It would make sense to work directly with OPI to distribute your products in our stores. Would love to chat.

You can reach me at 206.769.1636.

Cheers,
