Salon owner Samira Far has big plans for the Bellacures franchise. A young entrepreneur, she founded Bellacures in 2006 to provide consumers with a stylish nail salon that brings culture and professionalism to our fast-growing industry. Now joining the seven locations currently operating in the Greater Los Angeles area, the first of three Dallas locations is set to open in June. Additionally, Bellacures plans to further expand its footprint nationwide by opening 20 new franchises through a targeted expansion strategy in Northern California as well as Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, New Mexico, and Texas.
“I’ve loved going to nail salons since a young age, but every time I went to one I questioned how sterile the environment was and didn’t feel like the style was in line with my sense of self. With Bellacures, I wanted to create an environment where people felt very comfortable and wouldn’t be worried about cleanliness,” says Far. “In such a fragmented industry, there was a big opportunity to step in and create change by setting a new standard.”
Bellacures is looking to add business-minded entrepreneurs to its franchise system who match the culture of the brand. The ideal prospect is bottom-line driven, customer-service-oriented, and has a passion for community involvement. At a start-up cost of $115,000-$262,000, the Bellacures franchise model gives prospective entrepreneurs the blueprint to successfully operate their business, as well as ongoing guidance and support.

Says Far, “I want to make Bellacures the go-to brand in the nail salon industry. Through franchising, I’m offering entrepreneurs the opportunity to get in on the ground floor and join us in our journey to build the first national nail salon brand.”
