Libbey Lazarus
10-Minute Soft + Hard Brazilian Waxing
Additional reservation required - $25 per class
Must be an Essential or Student Pass holder prior to class reservations in The Reserve (Ballroom C).
This isn’t a surface-level wax demo-it’s a real Brazilian waxing breakdown using both hard and soft wax, taught exactly how it happens in the treatment room. In this live demo + lecture, Libbey Lazarus performs a Brazilian while explaining why she chooses each wax, when to switch, and how to work safely, efficiently, and confidently.
She’ll cover strip placement, pressure, stretch, temperature, speed, and how to adjust for different skin types and hair textures-plus, the most common mistakes she sees and how to fix them fast. Nothing is off-limits during the open Q&A.
If you’ve ever felt unsure, slow, or undertrained in Brazilians, this session will connect the dots and give you real technique, real confidence, and answers you won’t get from manuals or Instagram clips. This is for estheticians who want real skill —not performative education.

Beyond Topicals: The Hormone and Peptide Revolution in Skin Health
Additional reservation required - $25 per class
Must be an Essential or Student Pass holder prior to class reservations in The Reserve (Ballroom C).
Discover why the future of skin health extends far beyond topical product recommendations. This evidence-based presentation explores the critical-yet often overlooked-role of systemic hormone optimization and therapeutic peptides in maintaining skin barrier function, collagen synthesis, and overall dermal health.
As clinicians, we've long understood that topical interventions have physiological limits. This course bridges endocrinology and dermatology to demonstrate how hormone deficiencies drive accelerated skin aging, compromised wound healing, and diminished treatment outcomes-and more importantly, what we can do about it.
You'll learn:
• The mechanisms by which estrogen, testosterone, thyroid, and growth hormone directly impact skin architecture and function
• How to identify hormone-related skin changes in clinical practice across all patient demographics
• Evidence-based peptide therapies (including GHK-Cu, BPC-157 and others) and their role in collagen stimulation and tissue repair
• Practical integration strategies: when to discuss hormones before, during, or alongside aesthetic procedures
• Real-world case studies demonstrating the synergy between systemic optimization and topical/procedural interventions
Whether you're treating perimenopause-related skin changes, androgen deficiency in aging males, or simply seeking better aesthetic outcomes, this course provides the foundational understanding to treat skin health systemically-not just superficially. Leave with tangible tips to enhance patient results and expand your therapeutic toolkit beyond what topicals alone can achieve.

Unlocking the Sales Techniques They Didn’t Teach You in Esthetic School™: Consultation, Retail and Rebooking That Actually Convert
Additional reservation required - $25 per class
Must be an Essential or Student Pass holder prior to class reservations in The Reserve (Ballroom C).
Most estheticians are taught how to treat skin, not how to consult.
Taught by a former top-performing esthetician who led retail and package sales at a top Chicago med spa and later earned three consecutive President’s Club awards on the brand side, this class offers a rare perspective on sales from both sides of the industry.
You’ll learn a proven consultation framework that helps you confidently recommend services, retail, and treatment plans without feeling salesy. Attendees leave with a repeatable system to increase ticket averages, rebooking, and long-term client value immediately.
