What specific equipment is mentioned as being needed for the operation of a Face Foundrie Facial Bar?

According to the 2025 Face Foundrie Franchise Disclosure Document, the equipment needed to operate a Face Foundrie facial bar includes a HydraFacial machine, a cryo machine, and other equipment required to provide the brand's services. The FDD also specifies that franchisees must purchase equipment of the brands and types that Face Foundrie requires. As of the date of the FDD, new franchisees can use a HydraFacial machine for a four-month period free of charge under a loaner program, and third-party financing is available for the HydraFacial machine.

In addition to facial treatment equipment, Face Foundrie franchisees will need a computer system and associated equipment to manage the Facial Bar. This includes a reception system consisting of an iMac computer, 9 to 10 iPads, a credit card reader, a phone system, internet access, and related equipment. Additional required technology includes a sound system, a security system, a computer for management use, and a printer. The FDD notes that the low range of the initial technology expenses assumes the purchase of nine iPads, one computer, and a basic self-installed security system, while the high range assumes 10 iPads, two computers, and a professionally installed security system.

The initial investment for furniture, fixtures, and equipment is estimated to be between $57,100 and $86,000. The initial technology expenses are estimated to be between $9,000 and $11,500. These costs can vary depending on whether the franchisee obtains financing, the size of the facial bar, and the specific needs for furnishings, fixtures, and equipment. Franchisees should confirm the exact specifications and approved vendors for all required equipment with Face Foundrie to ensure accurate budgeting and compliance with brand standards.
