Do the labor costs for Face Foundrie include a salary for the owner?

According to Face Foundrie's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the labor costs for the corporate Facial Bars do not include a salary for the owner, but they do include the salary for a Salon Manager. This is based on the actual expenses reported by Face Foundrie's corporate Facial Bars.

For a prospective franchisee, this means that the financial performance figures presented do not account for an owner's salary. A franchisee will need to factor in their desired salary when evaluating the potential profitability of a Face Foundrie franchise. This is a crucial consideration for understanding the true net income potential.

It is important to note that the labor costs do include payroll and professional fees, as well as the salary for a Salon Manager. The FDD also mentions that in 2024, the Edina location averaged 24-28 employees on payroll, the Minneapolis location averaged 18-20 employees on payroll, and the Maple Grove location averaged 18-20 employees on payroll. These figures provide a general idea of staffing levels at corporate locations, which can help a franchisee estimate their own labor needs and costs.

Prospective franchisees should carefully consider these factors and conduct their own independent investigation of costs and expenses, including a realistic assessment of their own salary requirements, to determine the potential financial performance of a Face Foundrie franchise.
