SERVING FACE
Cult-fave skincare chain debuts in San Antonio with same-day facials

Face Foundrié offers services like facials and chemical peels.
Inclusive salon chain Face Foundrié will soon be giving San Antonio a glow-up. The cult-favorite franchise is opening its first Alamo City location in mid-April at 320 E Basse Rd #101 in the Quarry Village shopping center.
The San Antonio salon’s franchise is locally owned by Dixie Patel, who says she was inspired by the concept’s mission of delivering results-driven skincare.
"San Antonio is home for us, and bringing Face Foundrié here feels incredibly meaningful," says Patel, via a release. "We understand this community, its culture, and the growing interest in accessible skincare. Our goal is to help people feel confident while making self-care more approachable for everyone."

Founder Michele Henry envisioned the Face Foundrié after having her third child. Frustrated by the hassle of booking spas in advance and dealing with changing skin, she saw a gap in the market for same-day skincare. The research led to her opening the first salon in 2019.
As the name implies, the chain focuses exclusively on the face. Among the services offered are dermaplaning, chemical peels, hydrogel masks, facials, light therapy, and brow waxing and tinting. Ever on top of trends, it also regularly adds treatments like gua sha, cupping, and microchanneling to stimulate cell turnover.
Although services are offered à la carte, Face Foundrié also offers memberships for regular upkeep. Fans can also organize Face Parties for five or more guests, scoring a 10 percent card for their efforts. All treatments are gender neutral and designed for all skin types and tones.
