Face Foundrié is slated to open a new location in Pearland in early June, with the build-out expected to be finished by April, owner Adrien Bibbs said.

What they offer: The studio will offer a variety of professional skincare treatments, including facials, dermaplaning, chemical peels, facial cupping and gua sha massage. Lash and brow services will also be available, according to the company’s website.

Quote of note: “As a Pearland local, bringing Face Foundrié to the community is especially meaningful to me because I truly believe our area has been missing out on something like this,” Bibbs said. “My goal is to create a space where people can prioritize self-care, feel confident in their skin, and enjoy having a nationally recognized skincare concept right here in Pearland.”

Texas held its primary elections on March 3, with Republican and Democratic voters selecting their parties’ nominees for scores of federal, state and local seats. Yet for some candidates, a major hurdle still remains before the November election.

The overview: Dozens of primary races are headed to May runoffs after no candidate picked up more than half of the vote, triggering an overtime round between the two highest-performing candidates.

The details:  Texas’ runoff election is set for May 26, the day after Memorial Day. Early voting runs from May 18-22, per the secretary of state.

State law requires primary candidates to receive more than 50% of the vote to advance to a general election, meaning a candidate must earn a majority of the vote—not just the highest number of votes—to win their primary outright. This rule means crowded races in Texas primaries and special elections frequently result in runoffs.

In those races, the top two vote-getters advance to a runoff.
