Salon franchise in India: the questions people ask first.
How much does a salon franchise cost in India?
TrimHub has three indicative models: Select at ₹25 Lakh for 450 sq ft (₹3 Lakh franchise fee), Prime at ₹30 Lakh for 600 sq ft (₹4 Lakh fee), and Signature at ₹45 Lakh for 900 sq ft (₹5 Lakh fee). GST is additional where applicable; salon launch marketing is extra and build work varies at actuals.
Is a salon franchise profitable in India?
Yes, when the catchment and staffing are right. A mature TrimHub outlet targets about ₹3.5 Lakh monthly revenue and about ₹1.5 Lakh monthly profit, but actual ROI and payback depend on investment, location and operating performance; neither is guaranteed.
Which cities are open for a TrimHub salon franchise?
TrimHub is headquartered in Hyderabad and is signing partners across Hyderabad, Bangalore, Mumbai, Pune, Chennai, Delhi NCR, Kolkata and Ahmedabad. One partner is awarded per catchment, so territories stay exclusive.
What space and royalty does a TrimHub franchise need?
You need 450 to 900 sq ft on a high street or in a dense residential catchment, with parking access. TrimHub runs the salon under a Franchise Owned, Company Managed (FOCM) model and charges a 20% management fee on gross sales, and the agreement term is 5 years.
How long does it take to open a TrimHub salon?
Typically 45 to 60 days from signing, covering site survey, design and fit-out, equipment installation, staff recruitment, Academy training and the launch marketing campaign. These timelines are indicative and may vary based on location, outlet size and other conditions.
What support does TrimHub provide after opening?
Central marketing, stylist recruitment and Academy training, POS and CRM software, product supply, standard operating procedures and an ongoing operations manager for your outlet. Technology, POS and CRM setup fees are ₹30,000 for Prime and Select and ₹40,000 for Signature.

Read the coverageIndia's grooming market is modernising fast.
India's salon and grooming market is worth about ₹1.2 Lakh Crore and grows near 15% a year, yet under 10% of it is organised. That gap is why a branded unisex salon franchise in an under-served residential catchment is the strongest entry point today.
Grooming is shifting from occasional to routine. The winner is the trusted neighbourhood brand.
Most Indian cities still lack modern, hygienic, reliable everyday salons close to home.
Millennials and Gen Z expect consistent quality and book the same brand across cities.
What we handle so you can focus on your salon.
Central support covers six areas at no extra licence fee: site selection, recruitment and Academy training, launch and always-on marketing, salon technology and reporting, monthly operating reviews, and negotiated product supply.
Site scoring, negotiation guidance, layout and interior design standards.
Hiring pipelines, technical training and service-standard certification.
Brand assets, launch playbooks and always-on performance marketing.

Curated product partners, negotiated rates and quality controls.
How TrimHub compares.
Most Indian salon franchises charge 5% to 8% of revenue as royalty, bill separately for software and training, and leave daily operations to the owner. TrimHub runs every salon under a Franchise Owned, Company Managed (FOCM) model and charges a 20% management fee on gross sales, which covers POS, CRM, recruitment, Academy training and day-to-day operations, and opens in 45 to 60 days.
