It is undoubtedly the future leader of hairdressing in Occitania. The Holding Antoine group, born in Ariège, has around forty salons and has just bought out the historic Toulouse group Stéphan, which has around sixty. Antoine Holding are the brands Coiff.Club and Coupe Couleurs Salons. The brand was born in 2004, it had only five salons, mainly in Ariège. The founder, Antoine Lima, opened his first salon in Tarascon-sur-Ariège a few years earlier.
Gradually, the group grew. Opens salons in Tarn and Haute-Garonne. The redemption of Stephan group is very important, since this group from Toulouse, born in the 1970s, has more than 58 salons in the South-West. The group is particularly well known for its Stéphan Academy opened in 1986, a training center for the group’s hairdressers which allows them to benefit from the latest trends and techniques.
Antoine Holding still thinks of growing and speaks of about forty exhibition files that would like to join the group. Antoine Lima, the CEO, also believes that the help the group provides to franchisees in legal terms, auditing and communications is the group’s strong point.
