Dessange acquires Fantastic Sams
Facilitates further US expansion
Dessange International has acquired all of the outstanding shares of hair salon franchiser Fantastic Sams Holding Corporation. Dessange, which is present in 45 countries under the Dessange Paris and Camille Albane brands, says the deal will double its franchise network; it now has over 2,000 salons, of which 1,500 are located outside of France.
Fantastic Sams offers a wide range of hair care services, as well as selling hair care products and the acquisition of Fantastic Sams is in line with Dessange’s expansion strategy in the US, following the acquisition of the Dessange Paris North American master franchise in April 2011. The company says its first move will be to introduce and develop the Camille Albane brand in North America.
