anuenue Co., Ltd. (Osaka Prefecture, CEO: Hiroki Usui), which operates the eyelash perm and eyebrow specialty salon franchise "elua," announced that it has officially launched general recruitment for its franchise program, which was previously conducted solely on a referral basis. This expansion is marked by the launch of a dedicated landing page for franchise recruitment and the commencement of online information sessions. This release summarizes the franchise requirements, revenue model, support system, and frequently asked questions for those searching for "eyelash perm franchise recruitment," "eyelash salon startup franchise," or "beauty salon FC franchise."

From Referral-Based to General Recruitment -- Reasons for elua's Recruitment System Overhaul

Until now, elua has expanded its number of locations primarily through referrals from existing franchise owners and stakeholders. While this referral-based approach ensures the recruitment of highly reliable franchisees, it limited outreach to potential candidates who were interested in "elua" but lacked a referral.

Having expanded to 30 stores nationwide, the company has determined that its brand's replicability, training system, and revenue model are well-established. Consequently, they have decided to transition to general recruitment at this time. The launch of a dedicated landing page for franchise recruitment and the initiation of online information sessions, held two to three times a week, have created a system to engage with a larger number of prospective franchisees.

Features of elua Franchise -- Why Investors and Business Owners Choose Us

The elua franchise model is characterized by a system that allows investors and business owners with no prior experience in the beauty industry to operate a salon.

While an esthetician license is required for the eyelash technicians who perform the services, it is not necessary for the owner who manages and operates the business. The on-site operations are handled by the estheticians, allowing the owner to focus on management and business operations, making it an investor-friendly model.

elua possesses extensive accumulated expertise in techniques and operations, including a track record of providing training to other brands within the industry. Their comprehensive support system, which goes beyond simply providing store operation manuals to include market analysis of the target area, menu design, recruitment, and training, leads to high replicability.

Furthermore, through a business partnership with Dr. Online, an online consultation service is integrated into all stores. This provides franchisees with a composite revenue model that is not solely dependent on eyelash treatment income.
