A client cancels late for a reason entirely outside their control. Izelle Louw walks through how her team decides, why leniency is the retention choice, and how that judgement gets trained into everyone who answers the phone.

โ€œBecause it's something that's out of our control, we are very lenient with that because we cater, and at the end of the day, it's a client experience.โ€

Our third-year Somatology students recently enjoyed an insightful session with Laser Beautique, exploring franchise opportunities and gaining valuable industry perspectives.

Students in the Epilation elective also participated in a live Apilus demonstration, where they were introduced to advanced epilation techniques, including the blend method and cataphoresis aftercare.

The session highlighted the importance of treatment excellence, post-treatment care, and the diverse career opportunities available within the aesthetics industry.

Thank you to the Laser Beautique team for sharing their expertise and inspiring our students as they prepare for successful careers in wellness and aesthetics.

Thereโ€™s more to every touch than meets the eye. ๐Ÿ‘ฃ

As part of their Somatology journey, our students develop an understanding of reflex pressure points and how to incorporate these principles into holistic massage techniques.

Itโ€™s not simply about learning where to apply pressure. Students learn to work with knowledge, intention, and precision, developing an understanding of the body that informs their approach to each treatment.

Another hands-on skill. Another layer of knowledge. Another step towards becoming a confident, well-rounded Somatology professional. ๐Ÿ’™
