The Waxing The City royalty fee of 6% of gross revenues per week is lower than other similar franchises.
We keep things simple at Waxing The City. Every studio contributes 2% of their gross revenues as their weekly advertising and marketing contribution, rather than breaking out national and local fees like some franchises.
This isn’t just a business, it’s your life. You get to decide whether you want to maintain a full-time job and designate a studio manager to run the day-to-day operations of your Waxing The City studio, or take them on yourself. You can also reap the benefits of one business, or profit even more from the ownership of many.
