What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Clean Your Dirty Face's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Skin Boss Training Fee is paid directly to the franchisor. Item 7 outlines the estimated initial investment for a CYDF Facial Bar, including a Skin Boss Training Fee ranging from $5,500 to $10,000.
The table in Item 7 specifies that this fee is paid 'to Us for initial training' and is due 'as incurred'. This means that the franchisee will pay Clean Your Dirty Face directly for the training program as the expense arises. The Skin Boss Training program is a 3-day in-person training that you (or your Operating Partner) and all your estheticians must attend at Clean Your Dirty Face's corporate training center.
In addition to the Skin Boss Training Fee, the franchisee is also responsible for covering all travel and living expenses, such as wages, transportation, food, lodging, and worker's compensation insurance, incurred by the trainees attending the training courses and programs. These travel expenses are paid to third-party suppliers, not to Clean Your Dirty Face.
