💆🏽‍♀️ What if one service could help you slow things down, elevate the client experience, and sharpen your hands-on skills?

Our upcoming "Facial Massage Hands-On" class gives you the opportunity to learn—or perfect—the techniques behind this valuable esthetics service, from massage movements and lymphatic systems to consultations, contraindications, and treatment planning.

Best of all? You’ll practice it hands-on. You’ll give and receive a facial massage while learning from SSPA's experienced instructor Judy Garcia.

Add a new skill to your toolbox. Give your clients another reason to book. And keep growing as a professional. ✨
