“Just continued growth in our salons, continued focus on guest experience, and continuing to be a super-premium luxury salon and always striving to be the greatest salon in the world,” she noted.
“We have been recognized nationally as one of the top salons in North America,” she continued. “So we’re just really continuing to focus on our franchise and our existing Lunatic Fringe salons locally here in Utah. Obviously, with the show, a lot of amazing opportunities continue to come. So there’s a lot of cool opportunities in the beauty industry.”
Angie Katsanevas opens up about testifying in front of Congress
Earlier this year, Angie traded Salt Lake City for Washington D.C., heading to the nation’s capital to testify in front of Congress about the importance of franchisors in the United States. “I am also working with the International Franchise Association to help push a bill forward,” she explained to Bravo Insider, opening up about her visit to Capitol Hill.
“I testified in front of Congress this year on behalf of franchise owners. I walked the steps of D.C. and went up into Capitol Hill and was one of the first Real Housewives to push a bill across the finish line, and my work has made a huge contribution and created awareness around franchises and franchise owners and the fact that we’re local businesses. Not huge corporations,” she noted.Â

Angie Katsanevas reveals how her and Shawn Trujillo’s salons have grown
Angie and Shawn have also helped their own employees start their own businesses. “We’re mom and pop shops. We’re local people that support our neighborhood. We serve our neighborhood. We provide career paths for team members to grow, and we’ve taken people that used to sweep hair for us, and now they own their own Lunatic Fringe salon,” she explained to Bravo Insider.
“So we’ve helped them find a path forward to entrepreneurship and financial freedom,” she added. “So we’ve been able to do a lot of cool things. When I started this, I never had set my sight on a multiple-locations franchise.”
