From National Security to Skincare: Building a New Future with Face Foundrié
on
A Career Reinvented
After years of serving in demanding, detail-oriented environments — from the Army National Guard to a Department of Defense contracting role — this FranCoach client is embarking on a completely different kind of mission: helping others feel confident in their own skin.
Armed with a master’s degree in psychology, a license in esthetics, and years of professional experience in training and analysis, this entrepreneur wanted more than just another career move. They wanted ownership — a business that reflected both their passion for personal wellness and their dedication to empowering others.
Why Face Foundrié
When exploring franchise opportunities, this new owner knew they wanted a business that blended purpose, professionalism, and connection. Face Foundrié offered exactly that.
The brand’s mission to make skincare approachable, affordable, and inclusive immediately stood out. From cutting-edge facials to lash and brow services, Face Foundrié empowers clients to look and feel their best through expert care and education. For someone who has spent years leading with precision and empathy, the model’s combination of structure and heart was the perfect fit.
Face Foundrié’s focus on both client experience and staff development also resonated strongly. After years of witnessing leadership challenges in traditional workplaces, this new owner was drawn to the opportunity to build a healthy, supportive team culture — one where everyone feels valued and clients leave feeling refreshed and confident.
A Journey of Transformation
Transitioning from intelligence analysis to esthetics may seem unconventional, but for this entrepreneur, it was a natural evolution. They wanted to bring creativity, compassion, and leadership into an industry that uplifts others.
This new chapter represents more than a career change — it’s a personal mission to create a positive, empowering space for both clients and employees.
