Celebrating diversity in the treatment room
At The Salon Professional Academy (TSPA), we believe that skincare is for everyoneāevery tone, every texture, every identity. As we celebrate Pride Month this June, weāre shining a light on inclusivity in esthetics and why it matters now more than ever.
Skincare isnāt just about pamperingāitās about empowerment. When people feel seen, heard, and cared for in the treatment room, it can be a life-changing experience. Thatās the kind of beauty culture weāre proud to help build.
š Skincare is Not One-Size-Fits-All
Every client brings their own unique skin story. From melanin-rich skin to acne-prone concerns, from transitioning individuals experiencing hormonal shifts to clients battling texture or discolorationācustomization is key.
TSPAās esthetics students are trained to:
- Understand how different skin tones react to treatments
- Use inclusive product lines that cater to a wide range of needs
- Ask the right questions to honor each clientās journey
š³ļøāš Celebrating LGBTQ+ Clients & Students
Many LGBTQ+ individuals face healthcare and beauty spaces where they feel judged or misunderstood. At TSPA, weāre proud to be a safe, welcoming space for all. Whether a client is exploring gender-affirming skincare or just wants a relaxing facial without assumptions, our students are taught to lead with compassion, not labels.
We also celebrate the LGBTQ+ voices in our student body. Many of our future estheticians bring their own stories, perspectives, and passion into the treatment roomāand we wouldnāt have it any other way.
š” What Inclusive Skincare Looks Like
Inclusive skincare means:
- Using gender-neutral language
- Offering services without bias
- Recognizing how hormones, lifestyle, and stress affect skin differently for each person
- Being educated on skin conditions across ethnicities and identities
Itās not just about the products we useāitās about how we treat people.
š Your Glow Is Welcome Here
Whether you’re a client or a future esthetician, you belong at TSPA. Weāre proud to be a part of an industry thatās evolving to be more inclusive, more compassionate, and more real.
This Pride Month and every month, weāre committed to creating space where everyone can feel confident in their skin.
All services are performed by senior students under the supervision of licensed instructors.
