L. Saphonia Gee founded the SVSS (The Society of Virginia Skin Care Specialists), in order to provide guidance and leadership to the Esthetics profession in Virginia. Ms. Gee and SVSS played a critical role in getting Virginia HB2510 passed into law. HB2510 was the inaugural law that required licensing of estheticians in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
