If there’s one spa and aesthetics that is crucial to understand, it’s the impact of the legal framework within which we operate.


Creating sustainable growth and success in aesthetics means more than just mastering the art of skincare; it involves understanding the legal landscape that shapes our industry.

Mandie is an experienced and talented esthetician with a decade of experience.

Together, we explore the evolving landscape of state regulations affecting aesthetic practices, the importance of staying informed, and how to get involved in advocating for our profession.

In this episode, we discuss:
