The Heart of Esthetics: Creating Loyal Clients & Achieving Financial Success
Diane Buccola obtained her Esthetician license in the state of California in 1999.  Her ultimate goal was to be the owner of a day spa -- not necessarily an Esthetician working in the treatment room.  However, the bond with her clients kept her in the treatment room for 13 years.  Diane sold her day spa in 2004 when her family relocated.  (That spa has been sold twice since then and is still going strong all these years later.)   Diane opened a Solo Esthetics practice in 2004 which allows her more time to work as an Esthetics consultant and trainer which is her true passion.  She offers personal consulting services, on-site training, and group classes.   In 2006 she created SpaBizBoard.com, a popular online private subscription message board and learning tool for the spa industry which she actively participates in and manages.  In her continuing effort to raise the standards of Esthetics, she serves as an author and speaker on subjects related to the business side of Esthetics.   Shortly after the NCEA Certified Professional Esthetician certification became available, Diane met the qualifications to become NCEA Certified in 2008. NCEA Certification is the highest standard of skin care certification currently available in the United States.    Diane serves as a member of the Les Nouvelles Esthetiques Advisory Board and director of the Skin Analysis Lounge at Be Well Expo.   She has been an Esthetician volunteer for the American Cancer Society’s Look Good Feel Better program since 2004.
