Curating a new skincare experience since 2015
To create the best facial spa experience Kansas City, The Facial Bar specializes in promoting time-conscious services and intentionally priced products. Our goal is to inform, educate, and inspire all ages to look at skin care through a different lens.
OUR STORY
If you want to get technical, our story really started in 2009, when Cecilia claimed with great certainty that she was taking her newly acquired aesthetics license and was going to start her own business with it.
BUT, to avoid getting into the weeds of those 6 years of learning the ropes and experience, we’ll jump right to the good stuff!
The Facial Bar’s story began in Kansas City, Missouri in a small neighborhood located between 3rd St. and Independence Avenue, called Columbus Park. Many Kansas Citians know it as ‘Little Italy’, or The ‘North End’ but our business knows it as its first ‘home’.
That space holds a special place in our heart, as it was gutted and completely re-done by Cecilia and her family. The blood, sweat and tears that went into the flagship location are what we attribute much of our success to then and even now. The work that went into seeing a dream fully realized and having done it with our own hands, is so very representative of the very personal, hands-on approach that is modeled by Cecilia and carries through our entire team.
Our atmosphere
The aesthetic of the Facial Bar is a clean, gender-neutral energy that allows women and men alike to walk in and feel at home and relaxed. The team is personable and welcoming, with a passion for educating our clients.
The music selection intentionally veers from the traditional soft, instrumental, instead offering a warm lyrical boho vibe, and the color palette is slightly moody but brought to life by greenery/plants. An exclamation point of large windows, ushering in plenty of natural light, is the perfect hello and goodbye to regulars and newcomers alike.
Our community
Involvement
Supporting Local Business
The Facial Bar, being a small, local business itself, finds it very important to be part of lifting up the communities we serve. Not only are we very intentional in supporting and collaborating with other local, women-owned businesses, but tend to put our “money where our mouth is” in regards to what is important to our ownership and team.
Charitable Donations
You will find that we have committed over $4,000 (and counting!) in donations to local charities that support the likes of LGBTQ causes, educational needs within our local school districts, efforts to organizations working to cure various cancers (especially childhood cancers which statistically receive far less funding than others) mental health, animal rescue and care, etc.
Donation Requests
The Facial Bar, being a small, local business itself, finds it very important to be part of lifting up the communities we serve. Through our intention to continually support and collaborate with other local, women-owned businesses, we make donations to causes that echo our values.
