About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Waxing the City's own Franchise Disclosure Document explains that clients can purchase memberships and prepaid service packages, and that the franchisor requires every franchisee to obtain a surety bond to protect customers who purchase memberships or pre-paid service packages. This is a condition of your franchise relationship with Self Esteem Brands, LLC — not a Minnesota consumer-protection statute — set at $25,000 for a Minnesota Waxing the City studio.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal, the franchisee), the surety carrier, and Self Esteem Brands, LLC or its designated affiliate (the obligee), protecting the customers who prepay for waxing memberships and service packages. If a franchisee can't deliver the prepaid services a client already paid for, a claim can be made against the bond up to $25,000.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Minnesota's own club-membership bonding statute (Minn. Stat. ch. 325G) defines a 'health club' as a physical-fitness facility, which does not describe a waxing and skincare studio, so this requirement runs through your franchise contract, not that law. Keep a copy of your bond and franchise agreement together, and confirm the current required amount and named obligee directly with Self Esteem Brands or your franchise business consultant before you apply.

Waxing the City / Self Esteem Brands franchise agreement — not a Minnesota statuteWaxing the City Franchisor LLC's Franchise Disclosure Document (Item 6) states that the franchisor requires each franchisee to obtain a surety bond to protect customers who purchase memberships or pre-paid service packages; Self Esteem Brands, LLC is disclosed in the same document as the parent company of Waxing the City Franchisor LLC. This is a condition set in your franchise agreement, not a Minnesota statute or state agency rule — Minnesota's health-club bonding law (Minn. Stat. § 325G.23, subd. 4) defines 'health club' as a physical-fitness facility, a category a waxing studio does not fall under. Confirm the current required bond amount and the exact obligee name directly with Self Esteem Brands or your franchise business consultant before you apply.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Minnesota Waxing the City franchise bond?Premiums cost 1% of the bond amount. Your Waxing the City franchise agreement with Self Esteem Brands fixes that amount at $25,000, so your exact price is confirmed at the application.

Do I pay the full $25,000 bond amount?No. You pay the premium — 1% of the bond amount — not the bond amount itself. The $25,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against you; it is not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.

Is there a credit check?The application includes a credit consent, but it authorizes a soft pull only — a soft inquiry that never affects your score. No hard inquiry ever runs on this bond.

What does the bond protect against?It protects your customers — the clients who prepay for a Waxing the City membership or service package. If your studio can't deliver the services already paid for, a client can claim against the bond, and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. It is not insurance for you.

Where do I file it?With Self Esteem Brands, LLC or its designated affiliate, as the franchisor requires under your Waxing the City franchise agreement. We issue the executed bond and power of attorney by email, ready to submit as part of your franchise paperwork.
