    About Face Foundrie

    "Face
    As a Face Foundrie franchisee you will operate a focused facial bar under the trademark Face Foundrie offering efficient and effective services, including 20 to 40 minute facials, lash extensions, waxing, and skincare products.
    The total investment necessary to begin operation of a Face Foundrie Facial Bar is $149,500 to $278,800.
    This includes between $52,500 and $59,500 that must be paid to the franchisor or their affiliates.
    The franchisor may also offer you the right to develop two (2) or more Facial Bars.
    You would then sign an “Area Development Agreement” and pay a Development Fee equal to the sum of $32,500 per Facial Bar you agree to develop.
    The Development Fee will then be credited towards the initial franchise fee owed for each Facial Bar.
    Your estimated initial investment will vary based on the number of Facial Bar franchises to be developed.
