Great Customer Service + Happy Clients = Profitability by Melinda Taschetta-Millane
Is customer service your spa's No. 1 priority?
During every visit, your clients are evaluating your spa on the quality of service they receive, as well as their overall experience. So how do you ensure that every service you provide is a great one?

The Truth About Parabens by Carol & Rob Trow
Did you ever play a game called “Telephone” when you were younger?

The growth of nonsurgical procedures continues to rise, despite the recession. According to the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, in 2008 alone, Americans spent $4.6 billion on nonsurgical cosmetic procedures, and laser skin resurfacing has grown more than 270% from 1997–2008. This shows that there is room for even more growth in this industry, and estheticians can play a role in making this business a success. One of the biggest concerns for new and seasoned estheticians is that medical skin care treatments are taking the place of esthetic skin care services, such as superficial peels, microdermabrasion and facials. If the esthetician and the practice position it correctly, adding esthetic services to complement medical services can be beneficial to everyone involved, including the patient.
