Why we love Power Rescue Cream

Its that time of year again! When the Holiday season rolls around, we think of eggnog, cookies, family, presents.........and dry skin. The arid winter weather can make you look a lot like our chilly friend Jack Frost. However, there are methods for combating scaly winter skin. Power Rescue Cream by Elaine Sterling can do wonders for your skin. Its powerful combination of active ingredients such as wheat protein, Vitamin C, and Centuary extract work to not only moisturize, but heal and restore damaged skin. Its name says it all!

Active Ingredients- Cyclomethicone, Centuary extract, Glycerin, Sigesbeckia orientalis extract, Dimethicone, Palmitoyl oligopeptide, Vitamin C, Wheat protein, Vitamin e, Betaglucan

Open House

2011-12-14T20:59:00.000-08:00

On the whole, the Open House was a success. We learned some great lessons and got to meet a lot of cool people. For all of those who got gift certificates for a free refresh facial, we can't wait to see you when you come in for your service. The facials are also a great add on for a body treatment because they are shorter than a European facial, but long enough for you to feel relaxed and refreshed.

TGIF Takes on a New Meaning

2010-04-30T07:33:00.001-07:00

We all know that TGIF stands for Thank Goodness It's Friday. Fridays are arguably the best day of the week. They come with the anticipation and excitement of the weekend to come in addition to the satisfaction of a productive (hopefully) work week.

After 5 days of long hours, cooking, cleaning, and whatever else may have been included in your week, you deserve a break... Hence the weekend. However, the reward shouldn't end there. When's the last time you took time for yourself? Pampered yourself a little... What about your best friend, mother, sister, brother, husband? They deserve a little pampering as well.

This is where the Elaine Sterling Institute comes in! We help make Fridays that much better with our "Bring a Friend Fridays" (or TGIFF - Thank Goodness It's Friend Friday). You and a friend will be treated to a lavish European facial with one of our student estheticians for only $30 total!

So what are you waiting for?! Click here to book your appointment or call 404-256-5228. We can't wait to see you!

Life after Esthetician School

2010-04-06T16:38:00.000-07:00

In my class Monday my post graduate student asked me about how to find a job in a spa - all the spas she visited to interview told her they are looking for licensed estheticians with 5 to 10 years experience. This is not an isolated situation. I have been thinking about this for a few days and I wanted to share with you my advice I gave to her. First of all never, ever give up. keep knocking on doors and ask the spa director\manager if she would not mind auditioning you anyway as you would value their feedback. This gives you the opportunity to achieve 2 very valuable thing. one you will get very important feedback about your skills as an esthetician and any improvement if any you can make and the most important of all..They get to feel your hands and thats what you need to do. You need to WOW them with your professionalism, charm, like ability, skills and your ability to communicate. They just need to feel your hands and if you WOW them you may just change their mind. Have your audition skills down to a fine art. You can do this.

Elaine Sterling - Bio

2008-07-27T12:54:00.000-07:00

Elaine Sterling, is an internationally trained, certified, licensed Beauty Therapist and Educator.

BIO
Originally from South Africa she holds both the prestigious CIDESCO (Switzerland) Diplolmat and ITEC(London) certifications. A licensed Esthetician and Licensed Esthetician Instructor, Elaine has a passion for skin health and while speaking and writing about the "Theater of the spa experience" she is passionate about the power of the well trained spa professional and how their healing touch can affect peoples lives.

Elaine’s professional positions have included Director of Education at ISSN (International School of Skin and Nails) in Atlanta, Esthetic and Training Director at Spa Sydell, a highly successful and innovative Day Spa group also based in Atlanta.

In my vast experience as an Esthetician and Educator I have seen first hand my client's frustration with their skin issues. My belief is that Men and Women should look and feel beautiful at any age. After years of research and testing on what I like to call the "living laboratory” (students, clients, patients), I have worked to improve the aesthetic world by developing products, tools and education programs focusing on the art and science of beauty enhancement.

I love the skin and work every moment of the day to find solutions to problematic skin conditions. I am relentless in the pursuit of more beautiful skin. This is my mission, my passion and my vision. Knowledge, science and art is in everything I do ... from education to product development.

The connection of skin to health and wellbeing is paramount to me and is reflected and energized in all my professional endeavors from writing to keynote speaking and spa business coaching.

While speaking, presenting, writing and training on the subject of "The Theater of the Spa Experience", I am motivated and encouraged when I see evidence of the positive affects on and changes brought to people’s lives. The power of a professionally-trained Spa touch is invaluable in the stress-filled world we live in. My desire for the health and beauty enhancement concept to be promoted at every available opportunity drives me forward in pursuit of excellence in my field of expertise.
