FG Brands, a self-care and wellness platform, has announced the franchise industry’s first dual-concept beauty studio, combining two of its skincare brands under one roof. The innovative collaboration between Bare&Sol™ (formerly LA Bikini) and Facial Collective® allows franchise owners to offer a comprehensive range of effective and affordable whole-body skincare treatments. This model keeps both brands independent while sharing the same space, leveraging their complementary nature to create operational and labor cost synergies, as well as revenue growth opportunities through cross-selling.
The first dual-concept franchise studio is set to open in Birmingham, Alabama on Friday, Aug. 21, with more than 1,000 members already on board, projecting over $1.25 million in revenue in its first year. At 1,950 square feet with 10 treatment rooms, this studio demonstrates the potential of a dual-brand business model based on recurring monthly membership revenue and additional complimentary revenue streams.
Jan Zalud, CEO of FG Brands, emphasized the strategic advantage: “As a leader in the beauty brand franchising space, we continue to explore dynamic ways to showcase professional skincare offerings that give our franchisee partners an edge. Combining face care through Facial Collective® and hair removal and airbrush tanning through Bare&Sol™ into one location offers clients the ultimate in value and convenience—an all-inclusive experience where every customer is made to feel welcome. For our franchise partners, it delivers exceptional revenue per square foot. This unique combination sets a new bar for excellence in the beauty and skincare marketplace.”
The co-located studio features Bare&Sol™ on one side, specializing in all-natural, less-painful sugaring hair removal and UV-free airbrush spray tanning. On the other side, Facial Collective® offers high-performance, curated facial treatments, targeted add-on services, a full line of cutting-edge skincare products, aesthetic regimens, and select minimally invasive injectable treatments. Both brands are design-built to capitalize on membership-based models, where recurring monthly revenue drives strong unit-level economics.
The dual-concept studios feature a fully reimagined look with clean lines, soft textures, and a calming environment, moving away from the cold, clinical feel of traditional spas. With rates starting as low as $49 per month, the membership model makes routine self-care accessible to cost-conscious consumers, positioning the studios as “boutique fitness for the skin.”
