SPCP

• DAY ONE will focus on health and safety in the cosmetic tattoo workplace. David Vidra, LPN, who is the SPCP Health and Safety Advisor and OSHA Outreach Trainer, will present his comprehensive Bloodborne Pathogens Course, followed by a Wound Care Workshop. Vidra is known for his lively energy and is superb at making this industry-specific training experience enriching and powerful.
• DAY TWO will consist of presentations by Elizabeth Finch-Howell, CPCP, and Kate Ciampi, CPCP. Ms. Finch will provide greatly needed factual information about color theory; specifically how permanent cosmetic color theory differs from traditional color theory. She will also supply information about general pigment formulation, dispel common misinformation, and provide fact-based accuracy to enhance the attendees’ comprehension of color and pigments. Ms. Ciampi is well known throughout the permanent makeup industry for her exquisite lip tattooing procedures. Critically acclaimed for her full lip color and her independent classes, she delivers the complete package of this very challenging procedure process.
• DAY THREE will begin with Ms. Debra Guastella, CPCP, presenting Areola Re-pigmentation. Ms. Guastella is a speaker in great demand on the subject of this advanced procedure and conveys critical information on both the artistic and medically sound placement aspects of a reconstructed breast areola. Guastella will close by sharing her impressive knowledge of color selection to complete a beautifully re-pigmented areola. Lesley DeDecker, CPCP will present ‘Strategies of Success’ with conceptual tips on how to build and operate a successful business. This bountiful event will close with the Panel of Experts gathered and attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions of these industry icons about any challenging issues they may have experienced or anticipate.
