Picking up where college-level courses leave off, Northumberland-based L’Moor is providing spa and esthetic business owners with a local training opportunity to support their team’s professional development.
Through two half-day certificate courses focused on delivering long-lasting and safe manicures, both new and experienced estheticians and nail technicians can stay skilled and up to date.
Founded by Bonnie Annis and William Roderick, L’Moor is a Canadian supplier of spa products and equipment coming up on 19 years in business. The company supports estheticians and spa owners through education and mentorship, focusing on safe, healthy, and sustainable products and practices. Through their national and provincial sponsorship of skilled trade competitions, ongoing classes, and weekly education series Esthies and Their Besties, they’ve fostered a supportive community where industry professionals can connect, share insights, and grow their businesses.
On Monday, March 3, L’Moor is hosting two back-to-back courses at Venture13 (739 D’Arcy St., Cobourg) that include a combination of demonstrations, hands-on activities, one-on-one guidance, and a Q&A. Classes will be taught by Mackenzie Annis, esthetician and owner of Lilac Spa and Esthetics in Peterborough, who is one of only three certified Light Elegance (LE) Educators in Canada.
“It’s a huge deal to have this level of education locally,” says Bonnie. “Mackenzie is very good at educating and cares that students are successful.”
Running from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., “LE314: Perfecting P+ Gel Polish” is focused on using the award-winning line of gel polish, where participants will learn the P+ Gel Polish system, master FastFile Fill techniques, and perfect their nail preparation skills.
The “LE 313: Mastering JimmyGel” workshop will run directly after from 1 to 5 p.m. and will cover the skills required to create manicures and extensions using the versatility of JimmyGel, a soak-off builder gel with brush-bottle application. The course will also explore different options for adding LE Colour and Glitter Gels, as well as the proper maintenance of JimmyGel for fills and complete product removal.
Both classes will include demonstrations of safe application processes using the LE products, which are all vegan and HEMA-free. Participants of either class will leave with a certificate as proof of meeting the 300-level class qualification required for completion of the LE University Bachelor’s Degree.
While each class is available individually at a rate of $179, participants can save $59 and get lunch included when they sign up for both classes at a cost of $299.
