Announcement from SBB Administration
SpaBizBoard began in 2006 as a message board for estheticians and other spa professionals, and since then has evolved into a valuable resource for the spa industry. Much of the information contained within our walls is not intended for the general public. Therefore, in 2007 we evolved into a private subscription site. SpaBizBoard encourages all spa professionals to actively seek out further educational opportunities wherever you can, including other spa-related message boards, trade shows, trade magazines, classes and seminars. The more educated we all are, the more secure our careers in the spa biz will be. SpaBizBoard has three levels of membership and we have purposely kept the general membership fee extremely affordable at only $25/year to ensure that all interested spa professionals have an opportunity to join SBB and learn from the best in the spa biz. The subscription fees go to the costs of board administration and SBB-related educational opportunities, social events, and NASN events. Thanks for your interest in SpaBizBoard. |

Making the most of SBB
I decided early on that unlike other boards, I wanted to limit access of SBB to those who were directly connected to the spa business, and not just the general public or those who might be selling non-professional skin care products, or even worse...spammers! You won’t find porn or spam on SBB. This takes a lot of administrative effort, but it has proven to be worth the trouble. Because of our privacy policy, we have attracted skin care companies, consultants, authors, instructors, school owners, spa directors, estheticians, and other leaders in the spa business, who actively participate in our discussions. I have been told by many skin care companies that they have specific employees assigned to follow the threads on SBB so they can keep current with what our members are thinking at any given time. Kudos to those vendors who are trying to stay in touch with what is happening in our business! The vendors have been especially kind to SBB members by providing special SBB demos at trade shows and fabulous special pricing to our members as well as donating generously to our NASN events across the country. And we are very grateful to have them on board. Participate, participate, participate!! There are NO silly questions in this business. Don't feel you need to contribute answers. What we really need are questions, so our experts can post their answers. That's how we ALL learn. You can also use the board for research; we have a search function that is fantastic. Now that we have become a subscription/private board, the big names in the spa business are more comfortable speaking out. As a member of SBB, you will be hanging out with the best of the best in the Spa World! We are only as strong as our weakest link; so by mentoring each other, we can all grow stronger. |
