November 04, 2026 // Franchising.com // CASTLE ROCK, Colo. – With Colorado ranked sixth among the fastest-growing states for franchising in 2026, Frenchies Modern Nail Care is strengthening its footprint with a signed agreement in Castle Rock, about 30 miles south of Denver. Colorado natives and longtime Castle Rock residents Jeff and Megan Eppard will co-own the studio. They are currently in site selection and plan to open by fall 2027.
Jeff and Megan Eppard met at Colorado Christian University and bring more than 50 years of combined corporate leadership experience. Jeff built his career in wireless and learning development at Nextel, Sprint and EchoStar, where he is now a principal program manager. He will lead day-to-day operations and team training. Megan rose from a secretary position to leading a 20-person underwriting department during a 25-year career in mortgage lending, building training programs for underwriters at every level. She will oversee finance and accounting.
The Eppards will continue their corporate roles as they launch the Castle Rock studio. They plan to grow into a multi-unit operation and make Frenchies Modern Nail Care their full-time focus. Drawing on decades of hiring and developing teams, they will invest heavily in their staff from day one.
“Sometimes I have to pinch myself that Megan and I are business owners,” said Jeff Eppard, co-owner of Frenchies Modern Nail Care - Castle Rock. “We’ve both spent our careers building and leading teams for someone else. The first time we walked into a Frenchies, the studio was spotless and the technicians taught us things about nail health we’d never know. We knew this was the brand we wanted to bring to the town we’ve called home for the past 12 years.”
Frenchies Modern Nail Care is one of the brands under the Head to Toe Brands umbrella, a portfolio of beauty and wellness franchise concepts which also includes Bishops Cuts/Color, Delta Crown Hair Extensions, and The Lash Lounge.
“Jeff and Megan are exactly the kinds of owners we dream of finding as we grow Frenchies,” said Kayla Bramlet, Brand President of Frenchies Modern Nail Care. “They’ve spent decades building, training, and inspiring teams, and from our very first conversation, their passion for doing things the right way was obvious. They believe, like we do, that clean, healthy nail care should feel welcoming to everyone. We couldn’t be prouder to see them bring Frenchies to Castle Rock.”
The Castle Rock agreement caps a strong 2026 for Frenchies. In recent months, the brand has signed a franchise agreement in Pearland, Texas, and secured two units in Albuquerque, marking its entry into New Mexico. Frenchies has also strengthened its leadership, promoting longtime franchisee Kayla Bramlet to brand president in March.
Frenchies currently has 27 locations across 13 states, with continued growth driven by its emphasis on cleanliness, consistency and a supportive franchise system. The brand’s differentiated approach to nail care and commitment to both guest and team member experience has positioned it for continued expansion.
