Training

Technical training for your stylists plus front-desk and salon-management training for you or your manager.

Launch support

Interior guidance, opening-week staffing help, and a structured checklist so nothing is missed before day one.

Ongoing marketing

Local launch marketing, brand collateral, and access to the group's social media templates and promotions.

Supply chain

Preferred pricing on the same products and equipment brands used across all Shiva Salon outlets.

Territory protection

Defined operating radius per outlet, so franchise partners aren't competing against each other in the same area.

Head office access

A direct point of contact for staffing, stock or operational questions after launch — not just during onboarding.
