What Is Moxie Salon & Beauty Bar?

Moxie Salon & Beauty Bar is a franchise in the hair care and beauty category. The operational model is brick-and-mortar salons, typically 1,200–1,800 square feet located in downtown shopping districts, freestanding locations, regional malls or local shopping centers. It serves the general public (predominantly female) as individual consumers (B2C), and the core service bundle includes hair cutting, color, extensions, blowouts, manicures and other nail-care services, makeup, threading, scalp massage, occasional spray tanning, and retail sales of approved/proprietary beauty products.

Moxie Salon & Beauty Bar Franchise: Pros and Cons

The franchise's Stability Score of 100 (top 10% in Personal Care) and zero disclosed lawsuits or terminations point to exceptional system stability and low legal/operator churn; however, the absence of disclosed cons may reflect limited public disclosure or underreported risks that could leave hidden operational or financial issues unexamined.

Pros

Stability Score of 100 is well above what's typical in Personal Care (top 10%), indicating an unusually stable system that makes revenue forecasting and exit planning easier.
Zero total disclosed lawsuits is well below what's common in Personal Care (bottom 5%), giving you a clean legal record to inherit and lower risk of legacy legal exposure.
No outlet terminations, no non-renewals, no reacquired outlets, and zero franchisor-initiated enforcement (all zero) are well below typical for Personal Care (bottom 5%), pointing to low operator churn and fewer formal disputes to manage.

Cons

Territory Protection

35/100
NORMAL

Moxie Salon & Beauty Bar grants a site-specific protected territory around an Approved Location with boundaries set by zip codes, streets or market-density radii, subject to development and performance contingencies. The franchisor retains rights to develop additional nearby units and to sell via e-commerce and alternative distribution channels.

Training & Support

92
NORMAL

Moxie Salon & Beauty Bar provides a streamlined 59-hour training curriculum designed to prepare four individuals for launch, combining classroom instruction and hands-on practice across salon operations, service protocols, and management. The program includes on-site launch support as operational readiness assistance; franchisees are responsible for travel and living expenses, and on-site support may involve additional franchisor fees.

Franchisee Stability

100
Excellent

Moxie Salon & Beauty Bar earns an Excellent Stability Score. Three-year turnover of 0.00% is well below the typical Personal Care franchise (around 3%), and it sits at the very low end of turnover among industry peers, far lower than what even the lowest-churn 10% of Personal Care franchises report, which is particularly notable in a service-oriented sector. Out of 0 total exits, there were no terminations, no non-renewals, no franchisor buybacks, and no ceased operations; this spotless exit record covers about 7 franchised outlets in the most recent year.

This is built on a compact track record (roughly 20 franchisees averaged across three years); continued retention as the system grows would solidify the picture. For prospective franchisees, the picture so far is uniformly clean: every franchisee who came in stayed in.

Unit Growth Analysis

Unit Growth Chart

The franchise’s growth is volatile rather than steadily accelerating: units rose from 11 to 17 in 2023 (+6 units, +54.5%), plunged to 6 in 2024 (−11 units, −64.7%), then recovered to 11 in 2026 (+5 units, +83.3% vs. 2024) - back to the 2022 level but still well below the 2023 peak of 17. For investors this suggests a partial recovery but ongoing execution or market risk: the latest 83.3% surge is meaningful percentage-wise but only +5 units on a small base, so investigate the causes of the 2023→2024 collapse and the sustainability of the recent unit additions.
