Testimonials
"From the day that we signed our franchise agreement we had support each step of the way and continue to have support on an ongoing basis. It was refreshing to have the resources needed in starting a business whether it be IT support or training for therapists and estheticians, Hand & Stone had an expert to help at each stage of the process."
Cate Ruffenach, Hand & Stone Franchise Owner
"If I were starting a business on my own, I'd have to do everything myself, without much help at all. Advertising is one of those segments of the business where I'd be lost. Having HSM there to guide me through it, educating me on what has worked best for the franchisees that came before me, has been invaluable."
