You will see some of your favorite educators, back by popular demand, along with many new faces, keeping things fresh and exciting! If you have been with us before, welcome back!

“Having been a supporter of the Southern Spa & Salon Conference from its beginning – and one of its educators for many years – I can attest to the high-quality education it provides. As a veteran teacher of esthetics, I know how valuable continuing education is to our industry, and that it can make the difference between success and failure. Education is not a one-time thing; it is an ongoing process that begins in school and continues to retirement. We who have chosen esthetics as a career owe it to ourselves and our clients to stay current on products and processes. We're fortunate to have the Southern Spa & Salon Conference to help us accomplish that.”
Donn Kerr, owner of Esthetics International
