Values & History
In March 2019, CEO Michele Henry opened the first FACE FOUNDRIÉ location in Edina, Minnesota. From inception, Michele created FACE FOUNDRIÉ to be a franchise concept. She wanted to help others become entrepreneurs through FACE FOUNDRIÉ’s franchise business opportunities.
The spaces have a modern and luxurious aesthetic and have been thoughtfully designed to provide an elevated client experience, featuring a relaxing playlist, a signature scent, and top-of-the-line aesthetic beds. Clients are surrounded by comfort, complemented by weighted blankets and a tasteful finale with delectable chocolate after each service.

While a background in aesthetics or cosmetology is not required, candidates should possess sharp team management skills, sales capability, and the operational discipline to hire and mentor a team of salon managers and licensed estheticians. The model caters to owner-operators as well as semi-absentee investors with a designated operational partner.
Training & Support
Franchisees benefit from a structured, end-to-end support system designed to guide owners from signing through mature operations. Onboarding includes robust online curriculum paired with immersive, hands-on classroom training at the company headquarters. Beyond initial instruction, the franchisor provides hands-on real estate and site selection assistance, architectural design guidance, comprehensive marketing playbooks, and grand opening support. Franchisees also receive ongoing operational coaching, proprietary tech stack integration, and continuous quarterly education modules to keep studio teams skilled in the latest skincare techniques and retail practices.
