| Measure | Gross Sales, franchised salons, fiscal year July 2025 to June 2026 (TOTALS row) | |
|---|---|---|
| Sample | 1,596 units: the 1,596 of 1,624 franchised salons that reported sales in every month of the fiscal year; also split into top, middle and bottom thirds of 532 salons (medians $461,577, $315,536 and $203,970) | |

Revenue to investment
Formula: Item 19 TOTALS median / Item 7 Single Salon total (midpoint, low, high). A ratio of 1.00 means one year of median unit revenue equals the investment; it says nothing about profit.

Source and method
Every figure above comes from the Supercuts Franchise Disclosure Document issued 2026-10-16, as filed with the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions (filing 642517, registry record). The PDF is the franchisor's and is not hosted here; the item and page beside each figure is where to check it. Item 7 and Item 20 tables were read cell by cell; Item 19 was read by hand; each Item 20 year was checked to sum (start + opened − exits = end) before it was recorded.
Supercuts' fiscal year ends June 30, so Item 19 and Item 20 report fiscal years 2024 to 2026 (fiscal 2026 ran July 2025 to June 2026), not calendar years..
