the credential
a "SECA member" badge for your bio and booking page, so clients know you hold yourself to a standard.
your people
mixers, a member directory, and a community that trades clients, tips and referrals.
group liability coverage
a group liability program is being placed with a licensed carrier for members. coverage is optional and never required to join.

master classes are a member benefit.
every SECA master class is open to SECA members. the first master classes are being scheduled now, led by working professionals in small, hands-on groups.
- know a technique people ask you about? lead a master class.
- we handle the room, the booking and the payments.
- you keep 60% of the master class fee.
SECA master classes are professional workshops. They do not confer any license, degree, diploma or authority to practice. SECA is not a school licensed by the New York State Education Department, is not accredited, and is not approved by, affiliated with or endorsed by any New York State agency. New York State does not require continuing education for appearance enhancement license renewal, and these workshops do not satisfy any State licensing or continuing education requirement.
