What is the Itex F/A franchise?
Itex Fa, an innovative brow and lash franchise concept, officially launched its franchise opportunity in the United States on June 22, 2023, building upon the established success of Canadian-based MYNC Beauty Inc. and leveraging the proven business model of Blo Blow Dry Bar. The Itex Fa franchise is strategically positioned to capitalize on the rapidly expanding beauty and lash industry, offering a comprehensive suite of services and a structured support system for its franchisees. The brand's foundation is deeply rooted in the success of MYNC Beauty Inc., which was originally founded in Canada in 2011. MYNC Beauty Inc. saw a significant development in October 2022 when it was acquired by Blo Blow Dry Bar, recognized as the original blow dry bar franchise. Following this pivotal acquisition, the experienced team behind Blo Blow Dry Bar meticulously transformed the MYNC model into the distinct Itex Fa franchise concept, specifically tailored for the U.S. market. Vanessa Yakobson holds the esteemed position of CEO for both Blo Blow Dry Bar and the Itex Fa franchise, guiding its strategic direction and growth. While the official founding date of Itex Fa as a distinct U.S. entity is intrinsically linked to its 2023 franchise launch, its operational and conceptual heritage extends back to MYNC Beauty Inc.'s founding in 2011, providing a solid decade-plus of industry experience. The corporate headquarters for the Itex Fa franchise are established in San Diego, California, serving as the central hub for its operations. The core mission of the Itex Fa franchise is to ensure

Why Itex F/A Doesn't Appear in Public SBA Data
The SBA 7(a) program publishes loan-level data for every approved franchise borrower. Itex F/A does not currently appear in those public records — and that absence carries useful information for prospective franchisees evaluating this brand.
Likely explanations for the absence
- Low capital requirements (under $50K total) often fall below the typical SBA loan threshold — operators self-fund or use personal credit instead.
Absence from SBA records does not mean a brand is un-fundable. It typically means the franchise system uses alternative capital sources, or that current franchisees self-fund, secure conventional bank financing, or roll over equity from a prior business sale rather than going through an SBA-guaranteed 7(a) loan. For prospective Itex F/A franchisees, the practical question is which financing path actually closes for this brand's profile.
