#SAFranchiseFriday featuring SkinPhD

BACKGROUND
As one of the leading pioneers in aesthetic beauty services and products, SkinPhD continuously invests in the research and development of raw materials recognised for their proven clinical efficacies. Combined with advancing innovations and technology in the field of medicine, SkinPhD’s research is swiftly tapering the gap between the cosmetic, pharmaceutical and medical industries; producing cosmeceutical products and innovative non-invasive surgical services. This essentially establishes SkinPhD as the beauty salon of the future. Joining the SkinPhD brand means moving into the fast lane in an industry poised for growth.

THE CONCEPT
SkinPhD is dedicated to offering clients a world-class salon experience, with the latest in cosmeceutical products and aesthetic services of unmatched quality and value. Comprehensive, client-dedicated service is the focus of all SkinPhD Aesthetic Beauty and Hair Salon franchisees and employees. In fact, it is their hospitable dedication to making their clients feel important, safe, cared for and catered to that distinguishes SkinPhD from other competitive brands.

SkinPhD products and services cover a vast spectrum of treatments including nail, hair and cosmeceutical beauty products. All products are certified by the Dermatological Society while services are performed by thoroughly trained specialists and therapists. More advanced services and products such as neuromodulation, dermal fillers and needle-free injections performed by qualified professionals, are also available as well as leading aesthetic technology such as VellaShape III, FraxFace, and MesoJet.

SkinPhD is the ideal one-stop shop for individuals who favour elite cosmeceutical products and advanced aesthetic services. All locations are hand-picked and carefully considered to ensure that every SkinPhD salon enjoys optimal exposure and potential.

The nature of the products and services available at each establishment will determine the number and qualifications of the staff members required to operate the franchise.
