Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]  
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:The Company is a plaintiff or defendant in various lawsuits and claims arising out of the normal course of business. Like certain other franchisors, the Company has faced allegations of franchise regulation and agreement violations. Additionally, because the Company may be the tenant under a master lease for a location subleased to a franchisee, the Company has faced allegations of non-payment of rent and associated charges. Further, similar to other large retail employers, the Company has been faced with allegations of purported class-wide consumer and wage and hour violations. In the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded $1.0 and $2.0 million of potential settlement exposure related to litigation, respectively, of which $1.1 million was paid during the year. The Company's accrual related to potential settlement fees was $0.9 million as of March 31, 2022. Included in the charge in the third quarter is litigation brought in the 11th Judicial Circuit, St. Charles County, Missouri, in which the Company challenged a landlord regarding a lease the Company secured but the landlord leased to another tenant. The landlord in the case prevailed and the court ordered the Company to pay the landlord $0.5 million in attorney’s fees. The Company requested leave to appeal and plans to vigorously pursue overturning this judgment. In addition, the Company's existing point-of-sale system supplier had challenged the development of certain parts of the Company's technology systems in litigation brought in the Northern District of California. The Company and the supplier entered into an agreement, effective June 25, 2021, that provided for the dismissal of the lawsuit and set forth a commercial services agreement pursuant to which the supplier will assist in the transfer of franchise salons from its point-of-sale system to the Company's salon management system, Opensalon® Pro. The Company's accrual related to the agreement was $2.6 and $3.0 million as of March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively. Other litigation is inherently unpredictable, and the outcome of these matters cannot presently be determined. Although the actions are being vigorously defended, the Company could incur judgments in the future or enter into settlements of claims that could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations in any particular period.
