The majority of students currently in aesthetic schools are focused on working in a medical setting, although the perceptions are sometimes unclear. There are many benefits to having skin care professionals work alongside physicians, but the line between aesthetic services and medical services must be fully understood.  
Missed opportunities happen even to the best spas. They happen every day and skin care professionals often do not realize how many there are until the missed revenue is more than evident. By minimizing missed opportunities, spa owners can maximize client reach. The process may not feel or be easy at times, but it can be made achievable.

Improving Sales Through Education

Written by Rhonda Allison, L.E., founder and CEO of Rhonda Allison Cosmeceuticals
 For most people, sales is often perceived as being sold something at all costs, whether it is needed or not. As such, most skin care professionals find selling to be one of the biggest challenges in their business. They become more focused on treatments and less on retail sales.  
Since the initial rush toward opening day spas began in the 1980s, the appeal of this business idea has not lost steam, even if the number of new players has. Skin care professionals, former spa directors, and even ordinary enthusiasts have all invested time and hard cash into beautiful facilities, both large and small, with the hope of becoming a runaway success.
Nestled in the balsam and birch groves within Hidden Pond, a luxurious and secluded resort in Kennebunkport, Maine, is the Tree Spa. With three treetop treatment rooms, the Tree Spa features a range of therapies that utilize handmade herbal skin care preparations from Farmaesthetics, as well as make extensive use of fresh ingredients handpicked from Hidden Pond's garden.
