You (or your Operating Partner) must complete all required training to our satisfaction. In the event that your Operating Partner ceases to own at least its required ownership interest in you, you must recruit a new Operating Partner within 6 days of the change in ownership and submit the identity of the new Operating Partner to us for our review and approval. If you appoint a new Operating Partner after you open your CYDF Facial Bar, the Operating Partner must complete the Training Program within 30 days after the date of appointment. You must keep us informed at all times of the identity of the Operating Partner.
Before commencing the operations of your CYDF Facial Bar, you (or your Operating Partner) and all your estheticians must attend our 3-day in-person Skin Boss Training program at our corporate training center (currently, Chicago, Illinois). Before attending the Skin Boss Training, you must pay us or cause your attendees to pay us our Skin Boss Training fee, which is currently $750 per person.

Before commencing the operations of your CYDF Facial Bar, at least one of your staff members must successfully complete our "Receptionist Training."

We do not charge any fee for providing the Receptionist Training.
We will provide the Training Program at the times and locations we determine and we may replace any portion of the in-person Training Program with virtual training via live or pre-recorded videos. We will also determine the length and content of the Training Program. We may vary the Training Program based on the experience and skill level of the individual(s) attending. You (or your Operating Partner) must satisfactory complete the Training Program prior to opening or operating your CYDF Facial Bar. Scheduling of the Training Program is based on your and our availability, training facility availability and your CYDF Facial Bar's projected opening date.
If you (or your Operating Partner), or managers and/or assistant managers required by us, fail to satisfactorily complete the Training Program then we may require such individual to attend additional training and we will charge you our then-current training fee forsuch additional training. Additional training will be provided at a time and location of our choice. If we determine that you (or your Operating Partner) or any manager and/or assistance manager required by us, is not properly trained to provide the services offered by your CYDF Facial Bar, we may require such person to cease providing services at your CYDF Facial Bar and/or to be trained by us at our thencurrent additional training fee (currently, $1,000 per 8-hour day, plus reimbursement of our actual costs and expenses).
We may, in our sole discretion, require your Operating Partner and all your estheticians to attend the Skin Boss Retraining program at least once in every 12 months. Prior to attending the Skin Boss Retraining you must pay us or cause your attendees to pay us our then-current Skin Boss Retraining fee, currently $750 per person.
The Training Program will occur after you sign the Franchise Agreement, but before your CYDF Facial Bar opens for business. We offer the Training Program on an as-needed basis.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Clean Your Dirty Face FDD, to operate a Clean Your Dirty Face facial bar, the franchisee (or their Operating Partner) must complete the required training program to the franchisor's satisfaction. If the franchisee is an entity, they must appoint an Operating Partner who has at least 25% ownership and voting power. This Operating Partner is responsible for the management and day-to-day operations and must also complete the training program. If a new Operating Partner is appointed after the facial bar opens, they must complete the training within 30 days of their appointment.
Before commencing operations, the franchisee (or their Operating Partner) and all estheticians must attend the 3-day in-person Skin Boss Training program at the corporate training center, which is currently in Chicago, Illinois. The current Skin Boss Training fee is $750 per person. Additionally, at least one staff member must successfully complete the 2-day in-person Receptionist Training program, also held at the corporate training center in Chicago, Illinois. However, the Receptionist Training for replacement staff members may be provided virtually, and there is no fee for this training.
The Clean Your Dirty Face training program occurs after signing the Franchise Agreement but before the facial bar opens. The franchisor offers the training program on an as-needed basis and determines the times, locations, length, and content of the program. The franchisor may replace any portion of the in-person training with virtual training. If the franchisee (or their Operating Partner) or required managers/assistant managers fail to satisfactorily complete the training program, the franchisor may require additional training, for which the franchisee will be charged the then-current training fee. Currently, this additional training fee is $1,000 per 8-hour day, plus reimbursement of actual costs and expenses. The franchisor may also require the Operating Partner and all estheticians to attend the Skin Boss Retraining program at least once every 12 months, with a current fee of $750 per person.
The franchisee is responsible for all travel and living expenses (including wages, transportation, food, lodging, and workers' compensation insurance) incurred by themselves (or their Operating Partner) or any trainees during any meetings and/or training courses and programs. The franchisee is also responsible for the travel and living expenses and out-of-pocket costs the franchisor incurs in sending their trainer(s) to the franchisee's Clean Your Dirty Face Facial Bar to conduct training, including food, lodging, and transportation. If the Operating Partner is replaced, the franchisor may charge $3,000 for providing Owner Training to each replacement Operating Partner.
