A unique educational platform for both spa industry educators and for our members, who are passionate professionals across all areas of the spa, salon and
Spa Standard is a social educational experience. Spa Standard will offer spa, beauty and wellness industry based knowledge and information through interactive online videos, E-courses, podcasts, webinars and blogs as well as provide hands on knowledge and training at locally based spas throughout the country, including those owned by our investing company, Maack Management. Spa Standard will offer the highest level of instruction and exchange of the most innovative and effective methods available.
The online element of our service will be presented with cutting edge technology to provide a fun, interactive experience for our instructors and members alike. The nature of the services offered by the spa and wellness community requires, under certain circumstances, hands on, in-person experience. Spa Standard addresses this by utilizing actual spas and live instructors in key areas of the country. The hands-on classes and seminars will, in most cases supplement an online experience.
We will create value for our members by enabling them to:
-Easily connect with other industry professionals
-Express themselves to peers
-Have input to the Spa Standard experience
-Learn, Share and Grow
Our vision is for Spa Standard to be the knowledge and educational resource for the beauty and wellness industries. With the help of the Spa Standard community of members, our mission is to revolutionize how spa and wellness industry professionals learn, connect, and inspire each other to improve. In order to accomplish this mission, we have three simple goals, all of them reliant on input from our members:
-Build the professional learning resources that spa and wellness professionals need.
-Deepen and improve opportunities for learning and knowledge exchange.
-Elevate and celebrate beauty and wellness professionals in our society.
The idea for Spa Standard came from the need for accessible, affordable and pertinent information for members of the beauty and wellness industry. Over the past ten years, there has been a lack of focus or any specific approaches to education in the beauty and wellness space. There are various educational institutes and schools around the world offering educational credentials and/or certificate programs, but there is very little in the way of online education.
The founders of Spa Standard are Kelly and Rick Maack, owners of Maack Management, a leisure industry spa and wellness company, founded in 2003. Maack Management owns and operates spa and wellness facilities in luxury hotels in the U.S. and is known as a leader in the industry.
