Elimination of hair from the body is either by depilation (the removal of the hair shaft at the skin’s surface), or by epilation (the removal of the entire hair from the “root” or bulb). Depilatory creams and shaving are depilation techniques often performed at home. Dermal planning is a form of depilation performed by a trained technician. Professional hair removal methods such as waxing, sugaring, threading and tweezing are good examples of temporary epilation. Laser hair removal is considered “semi-permanent” epilation because the destruction of the hair bulb may not be achieved in some cases. Electrology is the only permanent epilation method.

Does your company have core values? It's a leader's responsbility to establish those, as well as recognize that each employee comes to work with their own set of values, too.

Do you catch yourself saying, it would just be easier if I did it myself? While that may be a short-term fix, it isn't the best long-term solution. By delegating tasks, leaders empower their employees and foster growth.

The 2019 ISPA U.S. Spa Industry Study reported that there were an estimated 28,420 unfilled service provider positions in the United States as of May 2019; 54 percent of spas at the time were actively trying to fill positions. In the end, it’s a numbers game: there are too many unfilled positions and not enough service providers to fill them. For this reason, driving prospective service providers into the spa industry is imperative to getting off the hiring treadmill—and to do that, it can often be beneficial to work with local massage and cosmetology schools.
