EP 391: Discussing Vitamin A with Toni Lee Roldan-Ortiz, L.E. – National Master Trainer and Sales Manager for DermaConcepts

While I no longer work in the treatment room, I’m an aesthetician at heart, and when I attended a recent DermaConcepts event in the DMV area, I had the pleasure of sitting in on one of Toni Lee Roldan-Ortiz’s presentations focused on the unique science of Vitamin A delivery that DermaConcepts delivers through their Environ line. 

I gleaned a ton of new insights during that presentation, and since Addo Aesthetics is a strategic partner with DermaConcepts, I knew I had to have Toni Lee on the show. 

Toni Lee has over 30 years in the beauty industry where she began as a television and celebrity makeup artist, and with time, followed her passion into skincare and became a licensed esthetician who also holds certifications in paramedical camouflage makeup, Pastiche Advanced Skin Analysis, and Oncology Aesthetics. 

With extensive experience at a prominent plastic surgery office in New York where she helped grow the practice, train the team, and create treatment protocols as well as build sales as their lead aesthetician, Toni Lee eventually shifted into her current role as a National Master Trainer and Sales Manager for DermaConcepts, the exclusive distributor of Environ Skin Care in the USA, where she trains physicians, nurses and estheticians on the leading science and skincare that Environ delivers. 

In this episode, we discuss: 

  • The importance of Vitamin A for everyone and many skin conditions 
  • The science behind how DermaConcepts is delivering Vitamin A in their Environ products
  • Why lipid forms of Vitamin A are more beneficial to achieving best results for our client regardless of skin condition or season

                EP 384: Understanding and Increasing Your Spa’s Client Retention

                When we talk about marketing strategy, all too often the primary focus of the conversation is about getting new clients through your spa’s door.

                • Why client retention is such a critical KPI to keep tabs of within your business and how it sets you up to increase your spa’s overall profitability
                • Balancing the metrics of client acquisition and retention based on the specific growth stage of your spa business
                • Benchmarks to keep in mind for assessing where your current client retention KPIs fall and how to adjust your marketing budget accordingly
