How Affinity Salon says an outlet's numbers work. These are illustrations, not guarantees — check them against existing franchisees before you sign.

Affinity Salon's own claim — no evidence given. Figures are "up to" — the best case, not the typical outlet. These are not FranchiseChuno's estimates or a promise of earnings; ask existing franchisees what they actually make.

Annual return on investmentYearly profit as a share of the total investment.

up to 65%

PaybackMonths until cumulative profit equals what you invested.

up to 32 months

Affinity's 'become a partner' page (still live, Oct 2026) claims an ROI 'of up to 65%', revenue potential of ₹2.5–3 Cr a year and payback 'as short as 32 months', but the same page's banner says 'ROI in 18 months' with 'profits up to 3 Cr' — a profit as large as the whole revenue claim. Its newer franchise page only says 'better ROI than rental property investments'. None of these comes with an outlet P&L or a sample size.

  In ARB.P. 796/2018 the Delhi High Court (1 Feb 2019) referred to arbitration a financier's claim that R.V. Enterprises, a partnership firm, paid only 5 of 24 instalments on a ₹20 L hire-purchase loan; the financier alleged the partners were threatening to sell off the 'Affinity Salon' brand.
