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

Naturals Salon's own claim — no evidence given. These are not FranchiseChuno's estimates or a promise of earnings; ask existing franchisees what they actually make.

PaybackMonths until cumulative profit equals what you invested.

36 months – 48 months

The franchise page headlines this as 'ROI in 36 - 48 months'; that is a payback period (months to recover the investment), so it is recorded as payback. No sample size, outlet profit or revenue figure is published.

  Provident-fund recovery proceedings (2020, 2025) and a tax-tribunal order on under-booked franchise fees (2023)

  The Madras High Court heard the company's challenges to provident-fund recovery orders in 2020 (instalment plan for about Rs 49.44 lakh of undisputed dues, bank attachment lifted) and 2025 (the section 7A order stands; a review order set aside for want of a hearing). In a separate Income Tax Appellate Tribunal order (16 Feb 2023, AY 2014-15), the tribunal confirmed an addition for franchise fees stated in agreements with 44 franchise entities but not booked (Rs 70.68 lakh over FY2009-10 to FY2013-14), which the company's managing director had offered as undisclosed income after a tax search. These concern the company's dues and accounts, not any franchisee's outlet.

Not searched on IP India. A 2016 Madras High Court suit (CS 548 of 2016) cites 'NATURALS' trade mark registration no. 1414842 (class 42) as the plaintiffs' (the founder and the company). The suit was dismissed for non-prosecution on 4 Jul 2019 because the plaintiffs did not appear, so the court did not rule on the mark.
