  • With so many aspects of the esthetic community constantly changing, there is no such thing as having too much education. Elizabeth Donat, founder and CEO of EMD Skin Solutions is a walking example of this. Her love for the beauty industry fueled her to become a licensed esthetician, where she learned that the only thing she loved more than beauty and skin care was teaching and inspiring other estheticians.

As I like to say she is “a jar full of knowledge!” Any questions you ask her she always has the answer and is so nice on top of everything!

  • I have known Liz for many years. As the owner of a boutique laser and skincare center on Madison Avenue in NYC, I sought out her expertise with my staff regarding sales, based on her in-depth knowledge of skincare and the spa industry. Liz provided insight and precise technique in an intimate setting on how to sell products to clients, as well as how to provide superb customer service in an industry where customer service is one of the key elements of success. She also provided retail consulting on the placement of product in our offices in order to maximize selling potential. I would highly recommend her multi-faceted spa consulting services, as they have helped increase targeted and impulse sales of products and services.

    — Kim Schanzer / Owner of Pulse Laser and Skincare Center / New York, NY

  • Over the years Liz has not only had a profound influence on the kind of esthetician I wanted to be, but has also played a major role in giving me the confidence to become a proud business owner in Manhattan. Elizabeth is extremely knowledgeable and very generous in sharing what has made her such a great leader in the beauty industry. There has not been a major business decision that I have made since opening Pacific Touch NYC that I have made without consulting Elizabeth because she is one of the few people I trust implicitly to give me stellar advice that is grounded in sound, factual knowledge mixed with “been there done that” know-how. Elizabeth has helped me conceptualize treatment menus, scale my business, trouble shoot start-up growing pains and helped me envision scaling my business from a one person operation to a brick and mortar beauty brand with a staff and a product line. Elizabeth is the first person that I call when I need business advice.
