DC Spa - Lab I

Students will provide esthetic services in a real world setting on paying clients at the Durham College Spa. Executing client consultations will be practiced, strengthening each student's active listening skills to identify a client's concerns and goals. Product knowledge gained throughout the student's first year of studies will be used to select suitable treatments and skincare products to achieve a client's desired results. There will be a strong emphasis placed on adhering to infection control protocols in accordance with public health and safety standards when utilizing equipment and performing esthetic treatments, as well as projecting the level of professionalism expected within the spa industry. Students will use consultative sales, customer care and marketing tactics to recommend home care products, promote spa services and help contribute to retail boutique sales quotas.
