What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Clean Your Dirty Face's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the leasehold improvements estimate covers several key aspects of preparing the physical location for a Clean Your Dirty Face Facial Bar. These improvements include the costs associated with installing millwork pieces, flooring, and decorative lighting fixtures. The estimate also accounts for other expenses incurred while developing the facial bar.

However, the actual amount can vary significantly depending on negotiations with the landlord, who may contribute to these costs. Local market conditions also play a crucial role in determining the final expenses for the interior build-out.
Prospective franchisees should be aware that the leasehold improvement costs can fluctuate based on several factors, including the landlord's contribution and local market conditions. It is important to carefully review these estimates with a business advisor and to consider obtaining quotes from multiple contractors to ensure accurate budgeting. Understanding these variables is essential for managing the initial investment required to open a Clean Your Dirty Face Facial Bar.
