Ask before you sign
- Speak to at least 3 franchisees who have run an outlet for 2+ years and see their actual monthly sales and profit — a franchisor making money doesn't mean its franchisees do.
- Ask for the one-time franchise fee in writing, and whether any part is refundable.
- Ask for the royalty and any marketing-fund fee, and how they're calculated (on sales or profit).

What Green Trends Says You Can Earn
Brand claimGreen Trends's own claim — no evidence given. 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.
- 36%
- Operating break-evenMonths until monthly profit turns positive — not the same as getting your money back.
- 6 months
The brand pages say '36% ROI estimated per year' and a '6-month break even potential'. No sample size, outlet P&L, or definition of break-even is published. If the 6-month figure means operating break-even (monthly profit turns positive) it does not conflict with the ROI; if it meant full payback it would, since 36% a year implies roughly 33 months (our arithmetic). Treat both as brand projections.

Complaint site lists 78 customer complaints, many on billing and refunds
ConsumerComplaints.in's Green Trends page shows 78 complaints (as seen 1 Nov 2026). Posts opened (2023-2024) allege a membership card that did not work across branches, a bill higher than the quoted price, and a refused refund of a bridal-makeup advance. These are anonymous, unverified customer posts about individual salons, not findings, and the page does not show how the brand responded.
