🌈 Pride & Skin: Inclusive Skincare for Al June 25, 2025

Celebrating diversity in the treatment room

At The Salon Professional Academy (TSPA), we believe that skincare is for everyone—every tone, every texture, every identity. As we celebrate Pride Month this June, we’re shining a light on inclusivity in esthetics and why it matters now more than ever.

Skincare isn’t just about pampering—it’s about empowerment. When people feel seen, heard, and cared for in the treatment room, it can be a life-changing experience. That’s the kind of beauty culture we’re proud to help build.

🌍 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 discoloration—customization is key.

TSPA’s 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 client’s journey

🏳️‍🌈 Celebrating LGBTQ+ Clients & Students

Many LGBTQ+ individuals face healthcare and beauty spaces where they feel judged or misunderstood. At TSPA, we’re 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 room—and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

💡 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

It’s not just about the products we use—it’s about how we treat people.

💖 Your Glow Is Welcome Here

Whether you’re a client or a future esthetician, you belong at TSPA. We’re proud to be a part of an industry that’s evolving to be more inclusive, more compassionate, and more real.
