your CYDF Facial Bar is located and lease it to you.
You must obtain our written approval of a proposed site for your CYDF Facial Bar before signing any lease, sublease, or other document for the site. We may require that you hire a serviceprovider that we designate to assist you with the site selection process. Sites selected using the assistance of our designee must still be approved by us. We must also approve the lease for your site. Our approval of a lease is conditioned upon the inclusion of certain lease terms required by us pursuant to a form of lease addendum attached as Exhibit E to the Franchise Agreement. These lease terms will include a collateral assignment of lease.
You must obtain our written approval of your CYDF Facial Bar's proposed site and sign a lease we approve for that premises within 60 days of signing the Franchise Agreement. You must deliver to us a signed copy of the lease within 10 days after its execution. If you have not received our approval of your CYDF Facial Bar's proposed site and lease within 60 days after signing the Franchise Agreement, we may terminate the Franchise Agreement upon notice to you.
Opening Requirements
We estimate that you will begin operating your CYDF Facial Bar at the Premises within 180 days of signing the Franchise Agreement; but your exact opening date will depend on when you complete the necessary training, develop the Premises, meet our standards and specifications, acquire the required insurance policies, meet all regulatory requirements, obtain all required permits, and obtain the required Operating Assets, including the Computer System and other supplies. We may terminate the Franchise Agreement and retain your Initial Franchise Fee if you fail to open your CYDF Facial Bar within 365 days of signing the Franchise Agreement.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Clean Your Dirty Face's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there are several key steps you must take before opening your facial bar. First, you must secure a site that meets Clean Your Dirty Face's approval. Within 60 days of signing the Franchise Agreement, you need to have both the site approved and a lease signed that Clean Your Dirty Face also approves. Delivering a signed copy of the lease within 10 days of its execution is also required. Failure to secure site and lease approval within the 60-day timeframe could lead to the termination of your Franchise Agreement.
In addition to site selection, you're expected to begin operations within 180 days of signing the Franchise Agreement. However, the actual opening date hinges on completing necessary training, developing the premises to meet Clean Your Dirty Face's standards, acquiring the required insurance policies and permits, and obtaining the necessary operating assets, including the computer system and other supplies. Failing to open within 365 days of signing the Franchise Agreement could result in termination and Clean Your Dirty Face retaining your initial franchise fee.
Training is a critical component, as you (or your Operating Partner) and all estheticians must attend the 3-day in-person Skin Boss Training program, with a fee of $750 per person. At least one staff member must also complete the 2-day Receptionist Training, which is currently in-person but may be offered virtually. You (or your Operating Partner) must satisfactorily complete the Training Program before opening. You are responsible for all travel and living expenses during training. Furthermore, you must obtain and use the specified Computer System before opening your Clean Your Dirty Face Facial Bar.
