From Corporate Leadership to Skincare Entrepreneurship: A New Face Foundrié Owner in California

on

Turning Expertise Into Ownership

After building a long, successful career in operations, HR, and team leadership, this FranCoach client decided it was time to take full control of their professional future. With years of experience managing large teams, driving performance, and delivering top-tier customer service, they wanted a business that would let them shape their own strategy, create an exceptional experience, and build something that truly reflected their vision.

The desire was simple: more autonomy, more impact, and a chance to lead with fewer constraints. Franchise ownership offered the opportunity to take everything learned in corporate leadership and apply it to a business they could grow on their own terms.

Why Face Foundrié

While evaluating industries ranging from restaurants to med spas to boutique retail, one brand consistently stood out: Face Foundrié.

The client wanted a business that:

  • offered a premium customer experience,
  • rewarded strong leadership and team culture,
  • delivered repeatable, recurring revenue,
  • and allowed room for innovation and long-term growth.

Face Foundrié checked every box.

With its modern, all-inclusive approach to skincare — including facials, lashes, brows, and advanced treatments — the brand matched perfectly with the client’s strengths in service, operations, and customer experience. The mission-driven culture, accessible pricing, and high-quality training model created a business environment where strong leadership thrives and team development becomes a competitive advantage.

For someone passionate about building teams and creating memorable guest experiences, Face Foundrié offered the ideal foundation for long-term success.

A Business Built for Impact

This client brought an extensive background in developing people, streamlining operations, and scaling high-performing locations across multiple industries. Franchise ownership gives them the freedom to apply those strengths without the limitations of corporate decision-making.

Now, instead of navigating layers of leadership or restrictive policies, they can build a culture centered on empowerment, innovation, and exceptional service — values that align perfectly with the Face Foundrié mission.

The new location will put a spotlight on elevated skincare experiences, a welcoming environment, and a commitment to helping every guest look and feel their best.

Location

This new Face Foundrié franchise will open in California, bringing a modern, purpose-driven skincare concept to the local community.

Lessons from This Journey

This story highlights three important truths about becoming a franchise owner:

  • Experience matters. Leadership, operations, and customer service translate seamlessly into powerful business ownership.
  • Autonomy drives innovation. When owners control decisions, the customer experience improves, and the culture strengthens.
  • The right brand amplifies strengths. Choosing a model aligned with personal values sets the stage for long-term success.

Ryan, Alabama
