The Lemon Tree Franchise Business

Looking to buy a franchise? The Lemon Tree is a great choice.

The Lemon Tree is a leading franchise business specializing in value-oriented family hair care. It all started in 1974 when Joan M. Cable, a mother of three small children at the time, purchased her first salon located in Bethpage, New York with $2,000 she had borrowed from a family member. Forever changing the traditional beauty salon, she opened her salon 7 days a week, from 8:00am to 10:00pm, reduced every day prices and began advertising coupon specials. And she insisted that only quality name brand products be used.

Deena Yaris buys the franchise business in 1998

Deena Yaris had dreamed of owning her own business. She made her dream come true in 1979 when with the help of her husband, she opened her first Lemon Tree salon in New York. Business was so good she opened up three more salons. Then Mrs. Yaris did what most franchisees dream of doing: In 1998 she bought the parent franchise business from longtime owner and founder Joan M. Cable. With her passion and love for the beauty and franchise business, Mrs. Yaris brings a fresh new attitude to the Lemon Tree name. Under her reign, the company has plans to open 100 more franchises nationwide within the next five years. It also has launched its own line of shampoos and conditioners, and has expanded its hair care product line.
