The Original Facialbar

The Original Facialbar was founded in 2016 in Silicon Valley and now has two locations: one in Cupertino on Stevens Creek Boulevard and one in San Jose on Fruitdale Avenue.

Clients can also choose facials for particular concerns, including congestion, sensitive skin and anti-aging. According to the business, its proprietary equipment and techniques use current technology to deliver these facials, and its system is designed to help address skin concerns through treatments and skincare products together.

The business says a team of chemists and researchers tests new ingredients for quality and results. Its skincare products are sold for home use, are stated to be cruelty free and paraben free, and are described as using naturally derived and ecological ingredients.

Booking policies are strict and worth reading before arriving. Appointments can be rescheduled or canceled with 24 hours' notice. Cancellations made with less than 24 hours' notice, no-shows and same-day cancellations carry a $40 fee. For group bookings, the card on file is charged for any party member who cancels within 24 hours of the start time. Arrivals more than 10 minutes late have the appointment shortened to end at the scheduled time, and an appointment may be canceled if the client arrives more than 20 minutes late.

A loyalty program gives new members 50 points when they sign up, and gift certificates can be purchased at both locations.

According to the business, its work is focused on technology, quality and results, with ingredients tested by an in-house team of chemists and researchers.
