There are clearly many fabulous choices for skin care out there in the world for your spa.

How Do You Begin to Select a Line?

While we will provide specific reviews of products we personally research and test, we would also like to provide some pointers on where to begin. From basics of skin care, what ingredients to avoid, what questions to ask, we hope you can use this section to find your perfect product fit.  From satisfied guests to a hopping retail market- never underestimate the power of your perfect skin care product choices!

3 Hot Tips:

  • Ask your own experts!!! Chances are, your therapists and aestheticians have had extensive experience and training with a number of product lines. They can be a great starting point for gathering information, and involving them in the selection process will create a greater momentum for sales.
  • Start with who you are as a spa. All of your product lines should flow seamlessly with your mission, values and the goals of your clientele. If you have a young, chic, urban spa with a clientele of young professionals, you may not want to choose product lines that have extensive focus and research in anti-aging.
  • Ask about specials for switching product lines. When you are shopping new lines, is a great time to identify wholesale specials and get great deals.
