What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Face Foundrie's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the additional initial training fee applies in several specific circumstances. The standard fee is $1,200 per attendee, plus expenses, for the Initial Training Program. This fee is required before training.
The fee applies when a successor or replacement Operating Partner or Salon Manager needs to complete the Initial Training Program. Face Foundrie mandates that this training be completed no more than 30 days after the individual is appointed and before they start providing services at the Facial Bar. However, if a replacement Salon Manager is already working at the Facial Bar, they are not required to attend the full Initial Training Program. Instead, they will attend a Manager Boot Camp.
Additionally, the additional initial training fee is applicable if a franchisee wants more than three people to attend the initial training before opening their Face Foundrie location. It also applies if any personnel are sent to the Initial Training Program after the Facial Bar has already opened. These stipulations ensure that Face Foundrie maintains consistent training standards for all staff, while also providing flexibility for franchisees needing to train additional or replacement personnel.
