Upgrade
Clean Your Dirty Face®is a facial-bar franchise founded in 2015 in Chicago, Illinois. The brand is headquartered at 706 N. Wells Street, Chicago, IL 60654. It began franchising the same year and has expanded across the United States with a focus on convenient skincare services.
The franchise offers express professional facials designed to be completed in about 30 minutes. Each service uses the brand’s own clean, non-toxic skincare products, allowing clients to maintain results with items they can purchase for home use.
The business was created to make regular skincare accessible, simple and affordable for everyday consumers.
Clean Your Dirty Face® differentiates itself from traditional spas through its streamlined facial-bar model, transparent pricing and membership-focused structure. The experience is built around speed, consistency and an approachable environment, similar to modern blow-dry bars and nail salons but focused entirely on skincare.
