Facelogic – An Affordable Luxury Spa

Founded by experienced entrepreneur Sherryl Ford in 2005, Facelogic Spa offers a unique twist on the spa experience. Based on the concept that the facial should be an affordable luxury, Facelogic Spa has expanded to approximately 30 franchises nationwide. With the Affordable Luxury Membership Program, it offers $49 facials and a point-savings system to members. (In some cases, that amounts to half the price of a traditional day spa facial!)
Owner of the lovely franchise in Southern California town of Upland, Candice Richmond, and her mother-in-law Karen Richmond, owner of the North Fontana location, believes that affordability is what makes Facelogic stand out among other spas. With the membership program, “Guests can start coming on a monthly basis,” she says. As for those who normally save up to go to the spa for a costly single visit, this gives them the advantage of regularly returning to a skin care specialist for a routine evaluation and a relaxing experience.
Facelogic Spa has honed in on the face as their sole specialty, which remains its key focus. “When someone walks in for the first time,” Candice says. “We want to educate them on their skin.” Each session begins with a thorough skin care analysis, and ends with a personalized at-home skin care plan. With that in mind, what is the biggest mistake people make with their skin? “Using the wrong products or using nothing at all!” the Richmonds admit.
Facelogic retails a signature line of skin care products, which range from botanical-based formulas to high-tech cosmeceuticals; therefore, with the guidance of a Facelogic spa therapist, a client can learn about the best products for their skin type and goals. Clinical skin care products from Peter Thomas Roth and makeup by Sue Devitt are also available at the Upland Facelogic location.
Facelogic is proof that a spa franchise doesn’t have to mean an “in and out” experience for the guest. In one 50-minute session, guests can expect to submerge into luxury with a comfortable spa gown, soft music, dim lights, and calming aromatherapy. The facials take place in a professional spa chair, and each treatment includes therapeutic massage of the face, neck, and arms. While facials are customized according to skin type, Facelogic Spa abides by four essential elements: exfoliation, hydration, stimulation, and relaxation. Cleansing, steam treatment, extraction (with guest permission), a masque, and moisturizer are included in every Facelogic facial.
At Candice Richmond’s Facelogic franchise, she attributes the success of her spa to the positive and stress-relieving environment created by her staff of professional skin care therapists. “They are the ones who make my business successful,” she says. “They do the facials, and the guests just love it – and, love them!” Karen couldn't agree more!
