Scissors Professionals, a Chennai-based luxury salon brand, is opening its franchise offer across South India with two formats: a Men’s Salon and a Unisex Salon. The brand presented its plans in a recent Business Opportunity Over Chai webinar, reported by Indian Retailer’s Franchise TV on 6 October 2026, and says it will begin with Bengaluru and Hyderabad.
According to the presentation, the brand has more than a decade of experience and currently operates 12 salons across Tamil Nadu and one in Telangana. Its menu spans haircuts and styling, colouring, hair spa, keratin and straightening, facials, manicures, pedicures, threading, waxing, nail art and massage.
The Men’s Salon needs roughly 400–500 sq. ft. and is positioned as the smaller entry point. The Unisex Salon needs 800–1,000 sq. ft. and targets a broader customer base. Figures presented in the webinar are summarised below; they are the brand’s own projections, not audited results.
| Format | Space | Stated total investment | Franchise fee | Monthly royalty |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Men’s Salon | 400–500 sq. ft. | about ₹15 lakh | ₹4 lakh plus GST | ₹10,000 (fixed) |
| Unisex Salon | 800–1,000 sq. ft. | about ₹31 lakh | ₹5 lakh plus GST | ₹15,000 (fixed) |
The brand also quoted projected monthly revenue, payback and IRR figures for each format. Indian Retailer notes that these are projections and should be tested against actual location-level costs and operating performance before any investment decision.
Proposed territorial exclusivity is a 1.5 km radius in dense metro and high-street areas and 5 km in suburban locations, subject to the brand’s terms. Franchisee support covers site selection, interior and BOQ planning, vendor coordination, recruitment and training, launch marketing, digital lead generation, SOPs, audits and operational reviews.
After Bengaluru and Hyderabad, the brand names Kerala, Andhra Pradesh and other parts of Telangana as next targets. The offer is aimed at individual entrepreneurs in organised beauty and grooming, a segment the report describes as moving towards branded, experience-led salons.
The story is a useful data point on how India’s regional concepts scale: a small operating base, a fixed-royalty structure and a city-by-city sequence rather than a national master franchise. Other Indian brands are moving through tier I and II cities on similar logic, as in the Snowberry outlet expansion, while mobility and retail concepts are testing master structures, as in the BijliRide master franchise pilot. For international franchisors weighing the market, our guide to choosing a master franchisee covers the qualification questions that regional operators like this one are usually measured against.
