America’s Best Franchises (ABF) Brand Insight —
Waxing is a repeat service by nature — hair grows back on a schedule, so the customer returns without being sold again. The Pampered Peach built on that with a membership club and a proprietary wax that supports a five-minute Brazilian where the category standard runs 15 to 30. The in-house team handles local marketing at no cost beyond the 1% fee, which is unusual. Founded in 2019 by a licensed aesthetician, franchising since 2022, now 70-plus locations.
At a Glance
- Liquid Capital Required: $50,000 (readily available cash or cash-equivalent assets — not from borrowing, selling a primary residence, or relying on future income)
- Ownership Model: Owner-operator
- Location Type: Retail salon; a Suite To Salon path starts smaller
- Time Commitment: Full-time
- Experience Required: None in beauty or aesthetics
About The Pampered Peach
Jessica Kustron founded The Pampered Peach in Tampa in 2019 as a licensed aesthetician, and began franchising in 2022. The system now runs more than 70 locations across Florida, New York, Texas and beyond, having performed over 500,000 waxes for a membership base of more than 3,000.
Services cover facial waxing from brows to upper lip, bikini and Brazilian, arms, legs and back, and full body. The proprietary wax formula is custom to the brand, and the five-minute Brazilian technique is what the training is built around. Kustron was nominated for Tampa Bay Business Journal BusinessWoman of the Year in 2024.
Why Franchise With The Pampered Peach?
Our proven waxing system delivers exceptional results through comprehensive support in a rapidly expanding beauty industry.
- Local marketing is handled by an in-house team at no cost beyond the 1% marketing fee — campaigns, social, SEO and promotions, rather than left to the owner.
- A proprietary wax formula not available elsewhere, which is what makes the five-minute technique possible.
- The VI-Peach Club membership turns a service customers already repeat into predictable monthly revenue.
- Service speed means more appointments in the same hours — a five-minute Brazilian against a category standard of 15 to 30 minutes.
- Fee structure is flat and stated: royalty, marketing, and a monthly technology fee, with no additional charges layered on.
- The Suite To Salon path can have an owner operating from a temporary site within 30 days and in a full salon in three to six months.
Why This Opportunity, Why Now
ABF Market Analysis —
The personal care and waxing industry is projected to reach $11.8 billion by 2028. What makes the category attractive to an operator is less the size than the rhythm: hair regrows on a predictable cycle, so a satisfied customer books again in four to six weeks without a marketing push. Speed matters more than it sounds. A service that takes five minutes instead of twenty changes how many appointments fit in a day and how easily a working client fits one into a lunch hour. Most of the category is still independent salons or chains running conventional wax and conventional timing.
ABF Timing Insight —
Seventy-plus locations in roughly four years of franchising is quick, which means the strongest markets are filling. The brand grew from Florida into New York and Texas, with Georgia openings underway. For a candidate, the Suite To Salon option changes the entry math — a temporary site within 30 days means revenue starting well before a full build-out would be finished.
