What is a Franchise?
The franchise definition, in part, involves licensing a brand’s name, business model, intellectual property, and more. Franchisees typically pay fees to secure their licensing rights and receive operational support. They also commit to ongoing obligations such as maintaining particular brand standards. This protects the brand image and lets customers know what to expect from any of the brand’s locations.
In return, franchisees benefit from operating under an established name and company image. They may also access exclusive vendors and products only available to the brand. Consumers like consistency, and that can translate to greater opportunity for the franchise owner.

Empowering Women through Training and Entrepreneurship
Although the number of women-owned businesses has increased in recent years, they are still a minority. Today, about 29% of franchises are women-owned. Most of these franchises come from four sectors: Child Services, Travel & Hospitality, Fitness, and Education.
Less than 21% of women-owned franchises are also black-owned businesses. We’re passionate about changing that statistic! GIRLKIN Lashes has been featured by CBS Baltimore, Fox 5 DC, WBAL TV, the Chelley Roy Show, and more! We’re making waves, and we want passionate women to ride them with us.
A Franchise Business Supporting Our Community
Our founder, Kim Fernandez, started lashing in her living room in 2016. For two years, she utilized word of mouth in the community to grow her business. In 2018, Kim opened her first, flagship location in Pikesville, MD. Since then, GIRLKIN Lashes has gone on to build 3 more corporate locations in the DMV area. But Kim never forgot her very first GIRLIES or the support they gave her business from day one.
Today, Kim gives back through volunteer work in the community. She especially enjoys supporting youth through sports and crafts. As the mother of four amazing boys, Kim is passionate about engaging children and giving them the best possible start in life.
We encourage the franchisees of GIRLKIN Lashes to give back by getting involved with events in their local areas. Building bridges in communities is what GIRLKIN Lashes is all about! We would not exist without our community
