About Noufal Haircolor Studio

Noufal Haircolor Studio has been in business for more than 15 years, specializes in expert hair care to include color and Keratin treatments while also providing nail, makeup and waxing services. With a popular Northern Virginia destination already established for both men and women looking for experienced, award-winning stylists, owner Joey Noufal is eager to expand the brand and provide entrepreneurs with a chance to be a part of the Noufal Haircolor Studio family. In the coming year, Noufal plans to open three to five franchise locations in DC, Maryland and Virginia. Entrepreneurs and franchisees can look forward to a hands-on accelerated learning process with Noufal helping at every step of the way. Joining the Noufal team will give franchisees access to their proven system for great customer retention, as well as exclusive discounts on salon use products and corporate support. Noufal plans to extensively train all front desk coordinators, shampoo assistants, managers and hair stylists to provide them with the knowledge needed to be successful. Franchisees will also have access to advancement and continuing education classes for all employees. "We've had the pleasure of servicing the Washington elite over the last 15 years and we look forward to continuing that service over the coming years," said owner Joey Noufal. "Investing in a Noufal Haircolor Studio is a low risk venture for entrepreneurs, given the brand recognition and community outreach we've engaged in over the last decade and a half for customer retention." As the business has continued to grow and expand over the last decade, Joey has involved Noufal Haircolor Studio in the community around him, often donating haircuts and other spa treatments to benefit charities like the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS). Earlier this year, Noufal Haircolor Studio participated in Cut for the Cure, an LLS campaign for which the salon donated an entire day's worth of haircuts to help fight blood cancers.
