"Exceptional opportunities" was a catch phrase that Stacey came up with in the early days of her studio in order to describe the way in which her studio was different to the studio up the street. It's caught on and is now the "thing" that her studio is known for. Join Stacey and Rhee today as they explore other opportunities to set yourself apart from your competitors and give your studio the edge.
