Lemon Tree Hair Salons

Lemon Tree is Your Family Hair Salon®. We provide affordable, high-quality salon services and products for every
member of the family. Using only brand name professional products such as Paul Mitchell®, we offer a full range of
salon services including cutting and styling, blowouts, smoothing, color services and, more. Whether it’s a child's first
haircut or services for seniors, we care of the entire family’s hair care needs.
Lemon Tree provides Franchise Owners with brand recognition that is the direct result of decades of community
outreach and marketing efforts. With a low cost of entry, multiple revenue streams, and prime territories available, we
equip our Franchise Owners with the tools they need to make a return on their investment while offering flexibility and
growth potential.
We are different than most salon franchises. Once a franchise is awarded, our Owners become part of the Lemon Tree
family. With family-owned roots that date back over 57 years and having been Franchise Owners in other systems, we
understand what it means to commit time, money, and relationships to becoming an entrepreneur. It is not only about
dollars and cents - it's about the people with whom you’re doing business. We genuinely care about their success.
*Owner-investment opportunity: One of the greatest benefits of owning a Lemon Tree is the opportunity to build, manage, and grow your business with greater flexibility, including the potential to operate without being on-site every day once the business is established and running smoothly.
