The Franchise Opportunity
Our premises-based retail franchise offers an exciting opportunity to own and operate a thriving beauty salon. As a Guinot franchisee, your salon will deliver premium services—including facials, body treatments, waxing, and nails—paired with our exclusive Guinot homecare products from a fixed location. With a focus on skincare excellence, this model is designed to drive growth in the facial segment and position your salon as the ultimate destination for clients seeking results-driven beauty.
We offer two opportunities:
| 1. Conception: | Perfect for passionate individuals new to the industry or looking to expand their business portfolio with a premium, results-focused beauty brand. This is the ideal opportunity for an investor. |
| 2. Conversion: | Ideal for existing salon owners ready to elevate their business and stand out from the competition by adopting Guinot’s proven franchise model. This is often a good fit for owner-operators. |
As a franchisee, you are responsible for your salon’s success. Owner-operators must dedicate at least two full days per week to management tasks. If running the salon as an investment, you must employ a qualified manager who has completed the required training and works a minimum of three full days per week.
Ultimately, you remain accountable for the performance of your franchise.

Franchisee Requirements
As a Parisian skincare brand, we don’t require you to speak French — but we do look for that unmistakable je ne sais quoi, the spark that sets you apart and embodies what it truly means to be a Guinot franchisee
To truly succeed within our network, you’ll need focus, dedication, and the discipline to follow a proven system.
Success ultimately reflects the effort you invest and we’re here to equip you with the brand strength, tools, and support to help you achieve it. While every franchisee brings their own unique strengths, we look for partners who share our values and brand ethos.
Many of our top-performing franchisees are beauty therapists, but this isn’t essential. We’re not seeking beauty experts, we’re seeking driven individuals who are ready to work hard, follow a trusted model, and build something exceptional.
So, ask yourself — are you:
- A skincare enthusiast ready to turn your passion into a thriving business?
- A natural leader committed to your team’s success and dedicated to delivering an exceptional client experience?
- Motivated, coachable, and focused on both personal and professional growth?
- Business-minded, with the discipline to follow a proven structure?
- Ambitious and eager to play an active role within your local community?
