Amazing Lash Studio franchise in Arizona: what the public record shows
Franchisees of Amazing Lash Studio in Arizona have taken 15 SBA loans since 1991 (average $618,426)— too few resolved loans in-state to publish a local failure rate (we require a resolved cohort, never extrapolate), so the brand's national rate of 13.0% is the better guide. Its latest FDD Item 20 state table reports 6 franchised outlets in Arizona (fiscal 2019) — about 0.08 per 100k residents.

A crowded market is usually proven demand; an empty one is often empty for a reason.
