Comment by Beth Davis on July 9, 2011 at 5:55pm: I have recently joined a new "medi-spa" that offers services such as laser hair removal and Vela shape. The spa is "MD Operated." I am wondering what the specific California Law is for Estheticians providing such treatments under an MD, if it is legal, and if there is proper certification to use theses machines. 2 years ago i was working for a similar business and only NURSEs where allowed to perform these treatments. What is the latest or where do i find the correct answer? THANK YOU.

Comment by Heather Capitanich on May 18, 2011 at 9:05am: not sure if this is the proper forum for this discussion, but I am researching spray tan machines. I want to add this to my menu of services. There are so many options it's overwhelming!

Any advice on which machine and/or product? Any advice or help is much appreciated!

Comment by Shelley Hancock on April 28, 2011 at 3:41pm: Hello California Esty's! This Sunday Skin Scripts and Tan Towels will be at my Center giving free workshops. On May 15th the subject for the morning workshop is "Not all LED's are Created Equal". In the afternoon, see a demo of the Dermasweep from an Esty that has been using it and loving it for quite a long time. Both of these are free workshops also. Register on on my website at www.shelleyhancock.com Hope to see you there!!!

Comment by Shelley Hancock on April 20, 2011 at 3:56pm: Yes, you need both your city license and your establishment license through the board of cosmetology.

Comment by Heather Capitanich on April 19, 2011 at 10:45am: @ Shelly is the establishment license different from the city license?

Comment by Shelly Thelen on April 19, 2011 at 10:20am: I have a guest house on my property that I turned into my skin care studio. It has worked out really well. I am licensed through the state to operate on my property so am legal with the state. I am able to keep services reasonably prices as I am not paying rent. I had alot of fun decorating my little skin care cottage as well. There have been more pros than cons. I am able to be more flexible with my clients schedules & my own. Fortunately my business works out well in the neighborhood that I live in. It is rural with not alot of traffic on our road & I do not have a high volumn of clients coming every day. The most important thing I would say is that you get your establishment license through the state so that you are legal.

Comment by Denise Ivers on March 10, 2011 at 7:42pm: Hi Samantha,

Check with the city (business licensing )where you live. Some cities require that you are located within "commerical zoning" areas.

I've heard that some skin care companies that require large opening orders will not consider you a "true" business and will not do business with you unless you have a separate entrance to your home spa and handicap accessible (ramp). This may be the requirement in some cities. I would be interested in knowing what you find out. Good luck.

Comment by Shelley Hancock on March 2, 2011 at 12:15pm: What a kick...me on HSN!! The NoNO is a good little home-use unit but I wouldn't use it for in office. It's something that's better used on a very regular basis. We do have a unit for us but it's up there in cost. Now the ClearTouch is awesome! I use it all the time. It's only $1095. I will definitely have it there to demo on March 20th and will probably be offering a discount!

Comment by Denise Ivers on March 2, 2011 at 10:28am: Hi Shelley,

Saw you on HSN this week featuring the No No device.!! How exciting! I'm going to try to make your spring event but won't know till later this month; been working some sunday's lately. I'm very interested in the Radiancy Clear Touch Lite.. will this be demonstrated at your event this month? What do you think about the No No device for use in the spa? I'm 2 yrs new and have a budget :o)

Thanks, Denise-Face It Beautiful! Skin Care
