Buy a Freecoat Nails Franchise

freecoat nails is a non-toxic nail and beauty franchise founded in 2017 and headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina. It is positioned as the first non-toxic nail salon franchise in the United States, built around clean-beauty services delivered without the harsh chemicals, fumes and shared equipment associated with traditional salons. The brand is owned by Landon and Kat Eckles, who also founded the Clean Juice organic juice-bar franchise.

Studios offer non-toxic manicures and pedicures alongside waxing, eyebrow tinting, infrared saunas and a retail boutique, with a membership programme that encourages repeat visits. freecoat uses a proprietary polish line that is vegan, cruelty-free and gluten-free, jet-free pedicure tubs, hospital-grade sanitation and a medical-grade air-filtration system, marketed under a “6-free or better” promise.

The network operates company-owned and franchised studios concentrated across the Southeast, including North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee, and offers single-unit, multi-unit and master franchise opportunities. Each studio runs on a simple staffing model led by a general manager and a team of nail technicians and cosmetologists.

Why buy a Freecoat Nails Franchise?

Buying a freecoat nails franchise offers entry into the clean-beauty segment of a large, resilient US personal-care market, with a differentiated non-toxic positioning that conventional nail salons cannot easily replicate. The brand combines service revenue with retail polish sales and a membership programme, giving owners recurring income alongside appointment and walk-in demand.

The concept benefits from experienced franchisor backing: founders Landon and Kat Eckles built the Clean Juice juice-bar system to more than 100 locations, and freecoat has since added dedicated franchise leadership to support its growth. Owners gain a recognised brand identity, proprietary products and established operating systems rather than building a clean-beauty concept from scratch.

Freecoat Nails – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Incoming owners train at freecoat University, the brand's multi-day programme at its Charlotte, North Carolina headquarters, covering operations, local marketing, team development, financials, leadership and software. Studios run on the Boulevard booking and point-of-sale platform, and the home-office team provides ongoing training calls, technician and manager recruiting assistance, and cooperative advertising once a studio is open. Resale buyers should confirm with freecoat what transfer training and Boulevard system access are provided to incoming owners and inherited staff.

  2. Ideal Owner

    The model suits hands-on, community-minded owners who are comfortable leading and retaining a team of nail technicians and cosmetologists rather than performing services themselves. No beauty-industry licence is required, but owners should be strong people managers and customer-experience drivers, since staff quality and a welcoming studio environment drive repeat memberships and reviews. An affinity for clean-living and wellness positioning helps, as does comfort balancing service delivery, retail sales and local marketing in a single location.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    freecoat nails has been recognised as a Franchise Journal Top Brand (2021) and is positioned as the first non-toxic nail and beauty franchise in the United States, supported by a registered trademark and a distinctive clean-beauty identity. The brand draws on the franchising track record of founders Landon and Kat Eckles, who also built Clean Juice, and has added a dedicated company president to strengthen its support and growth. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition should be weighed alongside the specific studio's local reviews, membership base and community reputation.

  4. Industry / Market

    freecoat operates in the US nail and waxing salon market, which IBISWorld estimates at about $25.5 billion in 2025 after roughly 9% annual growth over the prior five years. Demand is supported by routine, repeat personal-care spending and by rising consumer interest in non-toxic, clean-beauty products, a niche freecoat targets directly. Nail and beauty services are largely local and appointment-driven, so a studio's performance depends heavily on neighbourhood demographics, foot traffic and competition, factors resale buyers should weigh for the specific territory.
