INDUSTRY+ CLIENTTESTIMONIALS
JUDE BREMNER
“The Body Spa Program is fabulous!
Jackie, Pam, and Heather are
great instructors. They are very
knowledgeable and share their trials,
tribulations, their fun times, and not so
fun time of their years of experience
in the business. This course is a quick
paced, lots of studying, but in the end
it’s well worth it. The 11 in our class are
now fully qualified estheticians. Bravo
to all and a big thanks to the JCI staff
all whom are friendly, helpful, and
supportive. You will be missed. As for
me, I will have my own business!”
SANDI LESUER, RIVERSOL
“I have been working in the skincare
industry for over 18 years and have
had several spa treatments for the
face and body. I define myself as a
“spa-girl” that rarely is “wow’d” by
a treatment until I experienced the
facial and body massage at JC’s Spa!
Not only was the student professional
and knowledgeable of her products
and technique, but she designed
a unique treatment and added
beautiful smelling botanicals to the
non fragrance line that I love called
Riversol, designed by dermatologist
Dr. Jason Rivers of Vancouver. I’ve
seen other training centers and
nothing compares to this warm,
beautiful spa setting. I would advise
both men and women to call and
book a student service. Lastly, their
instructor is highly educated and
ensures she is present when needed
by the student. Good work!”
MARY, YOUNG SPA
“This student is ready to work in this
field. Great esthetician, fast, good
attitude, and team player.”
CHERYL, MERLE NORMAN
“It was a pleasure to have her in my
studio! I wish I had more staff like her.”
DAVID, DONA LUCIA ESTHETICS
“Justine was a hard worker and took
direction very well. It was great
working with her.”

superb! The students are so professional
and warm! I will continue to always use
their services. I cant believe how great
they make me look!”
LONNIE, SWIFT CURRENT, SK
“Kathy did great! Not only was the
massage relaxing and soothing; her
voice and the music were great too. She
was very professional and I didn’t feel
just like another client. Very relaxing
and just what I wanted!”
DANIELLE, SURREY, BC
“My esthetician was awesome! I
recently had a facial at a well known
Vancouver Spa, and found my
experience at the John Casablancas
Spa much more enjoyable!”

come back and visit! This school really
helps people get their foot in the door
and I’m proud to say I studied at JCI!”

knowledgeable and extremely helpful.
I will miss it here.”
NATASHA GOSWAMI

it was appropriate, I was helped a lot,
and I learned a lot. It’s an awesome,
fun, and friendly environment”
LA RISSA LARAMEE
To maximize opportunities in the beauty
industry, La Rissa completed both the Body
Spa Esthetics and Make up Artistry programs
at JCI. Her combined education opened the
door for an amazing opportunity where she
was hired to create and develop the “in house
protocols” for a brand new Eco spa “She to
Shic Boutique Beauty Lounge”. La Rissa not
only utilized her skills in esthetics and make
up, but she also assisted with the business
aspects including involvement in PR and
Marketing. One year later she was recruited
by the Absolute Spa at the prestigious
Fairmont Hotel at the Vancouver Airport
performing 5-star client services. Today, she
is a member of the same 5 star Hotel chain,
and is a spa team member at the Elizabeth
Milan Spa in the Royal York Fairmont Hotel in
Downtown Toronto.
BRITTANY OLNEY
With Brittany’s firecracker personality,
it didn’t take long for her to land her dream
job. This enthusiastic spa therapist headed
east and received a plum job with Chel Salon,
an Aveda concept spa in Saskatoon. She
performs all spa client services including
special events and photography make up.
She keeps up to date with industry trends
by attending trade show conventions
and seminars.
BREEN SWANSON
As the Overall Program Achievement Winner
in her class, Breen showcased her leadership
skills throughout the program and her
commitment by traveling by ferry from the
Sunshine Coast everyday in order to complete
the Body Spa Program. Those early mornings
certainly paid off as Breen accepted a job offer
from the Luxurious Painted Boat Resort before
she even graduated.
JESSICA NEIL
Hailing from the Okanagan, Jessica moved
to Vancouver in the Fall of 2008 to begin her
journey at JCI and to fulfill her very lofty goal
of owning her own spa. She first completed
the Make up Artistry program, which enabled
her to take on freelance work while attending
the Body Spa program in the evenings. After 2
years, and a ton of hard work, not to mention
many boxes of Kraft Dinner, she was offered
an incredible position at The Watermark Beach
Resort in Osoyoos. In addition to working in
the spa, Jessica is the head Make up artist for
wedding events. We at JCI all believe it won’t
be long before this successful graduate is
unlocking the doors of her own spa!
