This Employment Agreement (the "Agreement") is made this 27th day of June, 2003,
by and between Steiner Leisure Limited, a Bahamas international business company
(the "Company"), and Stephen Lazarus ("Employee").

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Company and Employee desire to provide for the terms of the
services to be performed by Employee for the Company.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual agreements
hereinafter contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Employment; Duties. The Company hereby employs Employee as Senior Vice
President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company and Employee hereby accepts
such employment. Employee shall have such duties and responsibilities consistent
with the position as may be determined from time to time by the Board of
Directors of the Company (the "Board") or the Chief Executive Officer of the
Company (the "CEO"), including duties with respect to affiliates (as defined in
Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) of the Company (each, an
"Affiliate"). During the term of this Agreement, Employee shall devote all his
working time and effort to the conduct of his duties hereunder. Employee shall
be based at the principal offices of the Company's Steiner Management Services,
LLC Affiliate, which offices currently are located in Coral Gables, Florida.

2. Effective Date; Term. This Agreement is for a term commencing July 28, 2003
and terminating on July 31, 2006, unless terminated sooner in accordance with
the terms and conditions in Section 5, below.

3. Compensation.

(a) Salary; Bonus; Etc. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Company (or any
Affiliate) shall pay to Employee during the term hereof compensation as
described in this Section 3(a), all of which shall be subject to such deductions
as may be required by applicable law or regulation:

(i) Base Salary. (A) a base salary at the rate of One Hundred Ninety Five
Thousand Dollars ($195,000) per year for 2003 and (B) a base salary at the rate
of not less than One Hundred Ninety Five Thousand Dollars ($195,000) per year
for each calendar year ("Year") or portions thereof, as the case may be,
thereafter during the term of this Agreement, subject to review annually,
commencing in 2004, and possible increase in the sole discretion of the Board,
by the Board payable in bi-weekly installments (the "Base Salary").

(ii) Incentive Bonus. Employee is eligible to receive a bonus (the "Incentive
Bonus") equal to fifty percent (50%) of Base Salary tied to achieved Company
Budgeted Net Earnings (as defined below) for the respective Year or portion
thereof, as the case may be, in the term. Employee's right to a bonus hereunder
for 2003 and 2006, will be subject to proration as described below in this
Section 3(a)(ii). With respect to each Year during the term hereof, the
Incentive Bonus shall be based on a budget for the four fiscal quarters of each
Year hereunder, which budget shall include an estimate of the Net Earnings for
such Year and which budget shall have been approved for the purpose of the
compensation payable hereunder by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the
"Budget"). At the end of the Year , if the Company shall have met seventy-five
percent (75%) of the Net Earnings set forth in the Budget ("Budgeted Net
Earnings"), for the Year to date Employee shall be entitled to receive an amount
equal to 0.250 times the Base Salary then in effect for the Year in question.
During the term of this Agreement, in the event that at the end of any Year in
question, the Company has exceeded seventy-five percent (75%), up to and
including one-hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of Budgeted Net Earnings for
such Year, then for each one percent (1%) increase over seventy-five percent
(75%) up to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%), the Employee shall be
entitled to receive an additional amount equal to 0.010 times the Base Salary
then in effect for the Year in question. In the event that at the end of any
such Year, the Company has exceeded one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of
Budgeted Net Earnings for such Year, then for each one percent (1%) increase
over one hundred twenty-five percent (125%), the Employee shall be entitled to
receive, in addition to the amounts payable for exceeding seventy-five percent
(75%) of Budgeted Net Earnings, an amount equal to 0.0050 times the Base Salary
then in effect for the Year in question. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee
shall not be entitled to receive any amount in excess of two and one-half
percent (2.5%) of the Budgeted Net Earnings pursuant to this Section 3(a)(ii)
for such Year. Any amount which Employee is entitled to receive herein, shall be
payable within sixty (60) days after the end of the Year in question. For
purposes of this Section 3(a)(ii), "Net Earnings" shall mean earnings of the
Company before taxes, interest, depreciation and amortization determined in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied,
except that the calculation of Net Earnings shall not take into account the
effect of the loss on disposal related to the discontinued operations charge for
2003 in connection with the disposition of the Company's day spa assets. By way
of clarification, except as otherwise provided herein, Employee shall not be
entitled to receive the Incentive Bonus for any Year unless, with respect to
2003 through 2005, Employee is employed by the Company at the close of business
on December 31st of each such Year, and with respect to 2006, Employee is
employed by the Company on July 30, 2006. With respect to the Bonus that would
otherwise be payable pursuant to the formula set forth above in this Section
3(a)(ii) for 2003, that Bonus shall be reduced to reflect Employee's employment
with the Company for only part of 2003, with the actual Bonus payable for 2003
being the result of multiplying the Bonus otherwise payable pursuant to the
above formula by 0.449. With respect to the Bonus that would otherwise be
payable pursuant to the formula set forth above in this Section 3(a)(ii) for
2006, that Bonus shall be reduced to reflect Employee's employment with the
Company for only part of 2006, with the actual Bonus payable for 2006 being the
result of multiplying the Bonus otherwise payable pursuant to the above formula
by 0.581.

(iii) Disability Insurance. During each Year during the term hereof, the Company
shall pay to Employee up to Three Thousand One Hundred Fifty Dollars (U.S.
$3,150.00) (the "Maximum Disability Payment") (pro-rated for partial Years
hereunder) to be used toward the payment of the premium on a disability
insurance policy (a "Policy") covering Employee, upon delivery to the Company of
evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the purchase by Employee of a
Policy with an annual premium due during such Year in an amount at least equal
to the amount requested by Employee under this Section 3(a)(ii). The Maximum
Disability Payment shall be increased proportionately to the extent, and at the
time of, any increase in the Base Salary during the term hereof. The Maximum
Disability Payment shall be payable in equal installments at the times that the
Base Salary is paid to Employee and shall be subject to such deductions as may
be required by applicable law or regulation.

(b) Deferred Compensation. Employee may elect, in accordance with the provisions
of any deferred compensation plan agreement that may be entered into between,
Employee and the Company (a "Deferred Plan"), to defer all or a portion of the
amount of the Incentive Bonus payable to Employee. Any and all amounts that
Employee elects to defer shall be held and administered in accordance with the
terms and provisions of any such Deferred Plan.

(c) Other Benefits. During the term hereof, the Company shall provide to
Employee all other benefits currently provided to the executive officers (as

Company, as well as those which the Company may, in the future, provide to its
executive officers, including, without limitation, life insurance, medical
coverage, benefits under any 401(k) plan of the Company or any Affiliate and the
right to participate in share option or similar plans. The Company also shall
provide Employee with a private office and an annual allowance of Seven Thousand
Dollars ($7,000) for the use by Employee in purchasing or leasing an automobile
and for the payment of insurance, maintenance and other expenses in connection
with such automobile.

(d) Expense Reimbursement; Relocation. The Company shall reimburse Employee for
all ordinary and necessary business expenditures made by Employee in connection
with, or in furtherance of, his employment hereunder upon presentation by
Employee of expense statements, receipts, vouchers or such other supporting
information as may from time to time be reasonably requested by the President or
the Board. When traveling for business of the Company, Employee, at his sole
discretion and at the Company's expense, shall travel via "Business" or "Club"
class accommodations.

(e) Share Options. The Company shall cause the CEO to recommend to the
Compensation Committee of the Board that it meet within thirty (30) days after

options to purchase 25,000 of the Company's common shares, exercisable in three
(3) equal annual installments commencing on the first anniversary of the date of
grant and with a term of ten (10) years, and, generally, with terms similar to
those awarded to other senior executives of the Company. In addition, Employee
shall be eligible for the 2003 annual grant of options to employees of the
Company, based on the formula used by the Company to determine the number of
options granted to various officer and employee positions with the Company, and
prorated to reflect that portion of 2003 during which Employee was employed
hereunder.

Date") and, thereafter, Employee shall not be deemed to be employed hereunder
(except that Employee's obligations under Section 6, below, shall remain in full
force and effect) and the Company shall have no further obligations to make
payments or otherwise under this Agreement, except as provided in this Section
5(b). In determining Disability under this Section 5(b), the Company shall rely
upon the written opinion of the physician regularly attending Employee in
determining whether a Disability is deemed to exist. If the Company disagrees
with the opinion of such physician, the Company may choose a second physician,
the two (2) physicians shall choose a third physician, and the written opinion
of a majority of the three (3) physicians shall be conclusive as to Employee's

end of the Year in which the Disability Date occurs, if the Budgeted Net

entitled to receive during the Year in which the Disability Date occurred had

this Agreement is intended to cause the Company to be in violation of the
Americans with Disabilities Act.

9. Entire Agreement; Certain Terms. This Agreement constitutes and contains the
entire agreement of the parties with respect to the matters addressed herein and
supersedes any and all prior negotiations, correspondence, understandings and
agreements between the parties respecting the subject matter hereof, including,
but not limited to all other agreements and arrangements relating to the payment
of any compensation to Employee with respect to any services performed, or to be
performed on behalf of the Company or any Affiliate. No waiver of any rights
under this Agreement, nor any modification or amendment of this Agreement shall
be effective or enforceable unless in writing and signed by the party to be
charged therewith. When used in this Agreement, the terms "hereof," "herein" and
"hereunder" refer to this Agreement in its entirety, including any exhibits or
schedules attached to this Agreement and not to any particular provisions of
this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated.

10. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall
constitute one and the same instrument.

11. Governing Law, etc. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of Florida without regard to choice of law provisions
and the venue for all actions or proceedings brought by Employee arising out of
or relating to this Agreement shall be in the state or federal courts, as the
case may be, located in Miami-Dade County, Florida (collectively, the "Courts").
Employee hereby irrevocably waives any objection which he now or hereafter may
have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Agreement brought in any of the Courts and any objection on the
ground that any such action or proceeding in any of the Courts has been brought
in an inconvenient forum. Nothing in this Section 11 shall affect the right of
the Company or an Affiliate to bring any action or proceeding against Employee
or his property in the courts of other jurisdictions. In the event of any
litigation between the parties hereto with respect to this Agreement, the
prevailing party therein shall be entitled to receive from the other party all
of such prevailing party's expenses in connection with such litigation,
including, but not limited, to reasonable attorneys' fees at the trial and
appellate court levels.

12. Severability. It is the intention of the parties hereto that any provision
of this Agreement found to be invalid or unenforceable be reformed rather than
eliminated. If any of the provisions of this Agreement, or any part thereof, is
hereinafter construed to be invalid or unenforceable, the same shall not affect
the remainder of such provision or the other provisions of this Agreement, which
shall be given full effect, without regard to the invalid portions. If any of
the provisions of Section 6, above, or any portion thereof, is held to be
unenforceable because of the duration of such provision or portions thereof, the
area covered thereby or the type of conduct restricted therein, the parties
hereto agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to
modify the duration, geographic area and/or, as the case may be, other terms of
such provisions or portions thereof, and, as so modified, said provisions or
portions thereof shall then be enforceable. In the event that the courts of any
one or more jurisdictions shall hold such provisions wholly or partially
unenforceable by reason of the scope thereof or otherwise, it is the intention
of the parties hereto that such determination not bar or in any way affect the
Company's rights provided for herein in the courts of any other jurisdictions as
to breaches or threatened breaches of such provisions in such other
jurisdictions, the above provisions as they relate to each jurisdiction being,
for this purpose, severable into diverse and independent covenants.

13. Non-Waiver. Failure by either the Company or Employee to enforce any of the
provisions of this Agreement or any rights with respect hereto, or the failure
to exercise any option provided hereunder, shall in no way be considered to be
waiver of such provisions, rights or options, or to in any way affect the
validity of this Agreement.

14. Headings. The headings preceding the text of the paragraphs of this
Agreement have been inserted solely for convenience of reference and neither
constitute a part of this Agreement nor affect its meaning, interpretation, or
effect.
