DiamondTome and Wendy Cochran, an esthetician advocate and founder of the California Aesthetic Alliance and California Estheticians, are collaborating to create the first California Aesthetic Compliance Conference for California-licensed beauty professionals. The event will take place Feb. 27 at the Crowne Plaza in Ventura, CA, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
California estheticians have not seen updates to their scope of practice since 1978, and these changes will be explained in detail. Attendees will benefit from Q&A sessions with Cochran; Kristy Underwood, executive officer of the California Board of Barbering & Cosmetology; Laura Embleton, Government Affairs, ASCP/ABMP; and Jaime Schrabeck, Ph.D.
This event will include demonstrations of various services, including those now allowed under the esthetician scope of practice by approved vendors.
Demonstrations will include:
- Full body exfoliation—DiamondTome
- Dermaplaning— Victoria Rose, Le Mieux
- Lash and brow lamination—Michelle Rath and Dani Burlile, Sinful Lashes
- Nano infusion technology—Wendy Cochran, Skin Moderne
Tickets ($75) can be purchased online at or via phone at (866) 325-8247.
