Local market conditions, changes in the economy and inflation will all contribute to your real property costs.
Lease agreements vary but usually require the lessee to pay for maintenance, insurance, taxes and any other charges or expenses for the land and building and the operation of your CYDF Facial Bar, or they may require that the lessee reimburse the lessor for its proportionate share of these payments (plus interest) made for the lessee and pay minimum monthly rent and/or percentage rent.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Clean Your Dirty Face's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a suitable location for a Clean Your Dirty Face Facial Bar should be on the ground floor. The premises should range from approximately 800 to 1,300 square feet.
When selecting a location, several factors can influence the rental costs. These include the age and quality of the building, its visibility and access to major traffic routes, and its proximity to residential, retail, and other commercial areas. Local demographics and real estate taxes, as well as brokerage commissions and the lease length, also play a significant role in determining rental costs. Clean Your Dirty Face recommends consulting a commercial real estate broker to assess real estate costs in the desired area.
The FDD notes that lease agreements typically require the franchisee to cover maintenance, insurance, taxes, and other expenses related to the land, building, and operation of the Clean Your Dirty Face Facial Bar. Alternatively, the franchisee may need to reimburse the lessor for a proportionate share of these payments, along with interest, in addition to paying minimum monthly rent or percentage rent. In some cases, a franchisee may own the premises or negotiate a rent-free period with the landlord for the first three months of the lease, which would reduce initial real estate costs.
