About Me
Diane Buccola has been a licensed esthetician in the state of California since 1999. She opened a day spa in 2000, which she eventually sold in 2004 after her family relocated. In her new location, she began her solo private esthetics practice where she sees clients on a part-time basis and has expanded her career to include spa and marketing consulting as well as teaching various classes related to Esthetics.
Diane is the owner of SpaBizBoard.com, a popular message board and learning tool for the spa business. She is an Esthetician volunteer for the American Cancer Society's Look Good Feel Better program. And in her continuing effort to raise the standards of esthetics, she serves on the Advisory Board of Les Nouvelles Esthetique magazine and as the Director of the California Chapter of the National Aesthetics & Spa Network (NASN), a national non-profit organization that provides free post-graduate education to licensed spa professionals.
In 2010, Diane achieved the NCEA Certification which represents the highest skin care credential available in the United States and adherence to the code of ethics of the profession. Currently, there are only a few hundred estheticians who have achieved NCEA Certification.
