Be
vigilant with your emails: Watch out for any
suspicious or unexpected emails, especially those that ask for personal
information or prompt you to click on unfamiliar links. Phishing attempts
tend to increase during the holiday season, so stay alert!
Secure
your devices: Ensure that all your devices,
including laptops, smartphones, and tablets, have the latest security
updates and patches installed. This will help protect against any
vulnerabilities.
Only
shop from trusted retailer websites: When
making online purchases, ensure that you are using reputable and secure
retailer websites to avoid falling victim to scams or fraud.

Following a successful pilot across 35 Hand & Stone spas nationwide, LightStim is launching at Hand & Stone. This marks the next evolution of our LED innovation, building on the introduction of handheld LED devices in 2015. Nearly a decade later, we are elevating this optional service with hands-free, FDA-cleared LightStim technology that seamlessly integrates clinically proven light therapy into the core facial experience.
As the leader in professional LED, LightStim delivers enhanced, visible results across a wide range of skin concerns while offering a premium, results-driven upgrade guests can see and feel. Please review the KPIs to support your decision to optionally implement LightStim, increase LED sales, and further elevate the guest experience and overall value.
Additional launch details will be shared during the upcoming webinars. Franchise owners, managers, and estheticians are encouraged to attend.
This webinar is designed for newly appointed Leads as well as those who have been in the role for some time. If your spa currently has only a “trainer,” you’re welcome to join, too. We encourage all questions and aim to provide guidance and support throughout the session.
