Nature of Operations [Text Block]	'

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Dec. 31, 2013
Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	'
	(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

	(a) *Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation* -

	Our Consolidated Financial Statements include our accounts and those of our wholly-owned subsidiaries and companies in which we have a controlling interest, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

	We hold variable interests in physician-owned entities that provide medical services to the Centers’ guests. These entities were set up for regulatory compliance purposes. We bear the benefits and risks of loss from operating those entities through contractual agreements. Our consolidated financial statements include the operating results of those entities. The assets and liabilities of these entities are not material to the consolidated balance sheets.

	(b) *Cash and Cash Equivalents* -

	We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, cash and cash equivalents included interest-bearing deposits of $11.4 million and $13.5 million, respectively.

	We maintain our cash and cash equivalents with reputable major financial institutions. Deposits with these banks exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits or similar limits in foreign jurisdictions. While we monitor daily the cash balances in our operating accounts and adjust the balances as appropriate, these balances could be impacted if one or more of the financial institutions with which we deposit funds fails or is subject to other adverse conditions in the financial or credit markets. To date we have experienced no loss or lack of access to our invested cash or cash equivalents; however, we can provide no assurance that access to our invested cash and cash equivalents will not be impacted by adverse conditions in the financial and credit markets.

	(c) *Inventories* -

	Inventories, consisting principally of beauty products, are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Manufactured finished goods include the cost of raw material, labor and overhead. Inventories consist of the following (in thousands):

			December 31,
			2013				2012
	Finished goods		$	54,403			$	46,711
	Raw materials			6,084				4,582
			$	60,487			$	51,293

	(d) *Property and Equipment* -

	Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets on a straight-line basis. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the terms of the respective leases and the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Leasehold improvements generally include renewal periods that may be obtained at our option that are considered significant to the continuation of our operations and to the existence of leasehold improvements the value of which would be impaired if we discontinued use of the leased property. Repairs and maintenance and any gains or losses on disposition are included in results of operations.

	We review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate, based on estimated future cash flows, that the carrying amount of these assets may not be fully recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset (asset group) to future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset (asset group). An asset group is the lowest level of assets and liabilities for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. When estimating future cash flows, we consider:

		●	only the future cash flows that are directly associated with and that are expected to arise as a direct result of the use and eventual disposition of the asset group;

		●	our own assumptions about our use of the asset group and all available evidence when estimating future cash flows;

		●	potential events and changes in circumstance affecting our key estimates and assumptions; and

		●	the existing service potential of the asset (asset group) at the date tested.

	If an asset (asset group) is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset (asset group) exceeds its fair value. When determining the fair value of the asset (asset group), we consider the highest and best use of the assets from a market-participant perspective. The fair value measurement is generally determined through the use of independent third party appraisals or an expected present value technique, both of which may include a discounted cash flow approach, which reflects our own assumptions of what market participants would utilize to price the asset (asset group).

	Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Assets to be abandoned, or from which no further benefit is expected, are written down to zero at the time that the determination is made and the assets are removed entirely from service.

	(e) *Revenue Recognition* -

	We recognize revenues earned as services are provided and as products are sold or shipped, as the case may be. We also provide a reserve for projected product returns based on prior experience. Revenue from gift certificate sales is recognized upon gift certificate redemption and upon recognition of "breakage" (non-redemption of a gift certificate after a specified period of time). We do not charge administrative fees on unused gift cards, and our gift cards do not have an expiration date. Based on historical redemption rates, a relatively stable percentage of gift certificates will never be redeemed. We use the redemption recognition method for recognizing breakage related to certain gift certificates for which we had sufficient historical information. Under the redemption recognition method, revenue is recorded in proportion to, and over the time period gift cards are actually redeemed. Breakage is recognized only if we determine that we do not have a legal obligation to remit the value of unredeemed gift certificates to government agencies under the unclaimed property laws in the relevant jurisdictions. We determine our gift certificate breakage rate based upon historical redemption patterns. At least three years of historical data, which is updated annually, is used to determine actual redemption patterns. Gift certificate breakage income is included in revenue in our consolidated statement of income for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

	Tuition revenue and revenue related to certain nonrefundable fees and charges at our massage and beauty schools are recognized monthly on a straight-line basis over the term of the course of study. At the time a student begins attending a school, a liability (unearned tuition) is recorded for all academic services to be provided and a tuition receivable is recorded for the portion of the tuition not paid up front in cash. Revenue related to sales of program materials, books and supplies are, generally, recognized when the program materials, books and supplies are delivered. We include the revenue related to sales of program materials, books and supplies in the Services Revenue financial statement caption in our Consolidated Statements of Income. These amounts were $7.8 million, $7.1 million and $6.3 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. If a student withdraws from one of our schools prior to the completion of the academic term, we refund the portion of the tuition already paid that, pursuant to our refund policy and applicable federal and state law and accrediting agency standards, we are not entitled to retain.

	We recognize Centers' sales in relation to laser hair removal treatment packages sold at Company-owned and at physician-owned clinic locations. The packages provide for five initial treatments which occur at up to ten-week intervals and generally allow for up to four additional treatments, as necessary, to obtain the desired results. Centers' sales service revenue is recognized evenly over the average number of treatments provided, and is included in Services Revenues in our consolidated statements of income. Remaining revenue, net of related financing fees, relating to unperformed services is included in deferred revenue in our consolidated balance sheets. During 2013, some of our treatment packages included certain of our products. Treatment packages that are bundled with our products are considered multiple deliverable arrangements and, hence, require us to allocate revenue between services and products using either vendor specific objective evidence, third party evidence of selling price, or the best estimate of selling price.

	Because both our treatments and products are offered for sale separately, we allocate consideration received for treatment packages based upon their relative stand-alone selling prices. Revenues for the treatment component are deferred and recognized as discussed above. Revenues for the products are recognized when they are delivered. All costs directly related to the operation of both Company-owned and physician-owned center locations, such as rent of the facilities, maintenance costs of our equipment, depreciation expense related to leaseholds and equipment, payroll costs of sales personnel and service providers and advertising costs are included in Cost of Services and certain of these costs are included in Cost of Products to the extent they relate to the sale of products in our condensed consolidated statements of income. All corporate-related payroll and other corporate-related expenses are included in Salary and Payroll and Administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of income.

	We receive royalties from Ideal Image franchisees. These royalties from franchised Ideal Image Center operations are recognized in the period earned and are recorded in Services Revenues in our condensed consolidated statements of income. There are no related direct costs associated with these royalties.

	Deferred revenue represents Center contractual treatments of $120.5 million at December 31, 2013, for which payment has been received or a customer financing receivable recorded. Deferred revenues were net of deferred finance fees totaling $10.2 million and $8.5 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These fees will be expensed in the same proportion of the related service revenue.

	(f) *Intangible Assets* -

	Intangible assets includes the cost of customer lists, covenants not to compete, unpatented technologies, our rights under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 ("HEA"), trade names, leases, licenses and logos related to acquisitions. For definite-lived intangible assets, such costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which range from three to 20 years. Certain intangible assets have indefinite lives, and therefore, no amortization occurs, however, they are subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment. Amortization expense related to intangible assets totaled $1.1 million, $1.3 million and $1.0 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Amortization expense is estimated to be $0.9 million in 2014, $0.8 million in 2015, $0.4 million in 2016, $0.3 million in 2017 and $0.3 million in 2018.

	A detail of intangibles is as follows (in thousands):

			Year Ended December 31,
		2013				2012
Intangible assets (various, principally trade names, leases, licenses and logos) with definite lives:
Gross carrying amount		$	13,509			$	13,509
Less accumulated amortization			(10,158	)			(9,060	)
Amortized intangible assets, net			3,351				4,449

Unamortized intangible assets with indefinite lives:
Trade names			71,549				71,549
Title IV rights			13,514				13,514
Intangible assets with indefinite lives			85,063				85,063
Total intangible assets, net		$	88,414			$	89,512

(g) *Goodwill* -

Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair market value of identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment by applying a fair value based test. The impairment loss is the amount, if any, by which the implied fair value of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are less than the carrying or book value. Annually each January 1, we performed the required annual impairment test for each reporting unit and determined there was no impairment. We have six operating segments: (1) Maritime, (2) Land-based spas, (3) Product Distribution, (4) Training, (5) Schools and (6) Laser Hair Removal. The Maritime, Land-Based spas, Product Distribution, Schools and Laser Hair Removal operating segments have associated goodwill and each of them has been determined to be a reporting unit.

The following table presents the balance of goodwill by reporting unit, including the changes in carrying amount of goodwill, for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012:

						Land-Based				Product							Laser Hair Removal
		Maritime				Spas				Distribution				Schools			Laser Hair Removal			Total
Balance at December 31, 2011		$	10,704			$	40,297			$	23,695			$	58,459		$	195,076		$	328,231
Acquired goodwill			--				--				--				--			--			--

(h) *Income Taxes* -

We file a consolidated tax return for our U.S. subsidiaries, other than those domiciled in U.S. territories, which file specific returns. In addition, our foreign subsidiaries file income tax returns in their respective countries of incorporation, where required. We utilize the liability method and deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities given the provisions of enacted tax laws. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on the changes to the asset or liability from period to period. A valuation allowance is provided on deferred tax assets if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The majority of our income is generated outside of the United States. We believe a large percentage of our shipboard services income is foreign-source income, not effectively connected to a business we conduct in the United States and, therefore, not subject to United States income taxation.

We recognize interest and penalties within the provision for income taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Income. To the extent interest and penalties are not assessed with respect to uncertain tax positions, amounts accrued therefor will be reduced and reflected as a reduction of the overall income tax provision.

The Company recognizes liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on a two-step process. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount of benefit that, determined on a cumulative probability basis, is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

(i) *Deferred Customer Acquisition Costs* -

Commission costs directly related to the acquisition of contracts with customers for Ideal Image services are deferred and expensed over the average number of treatments provided in the same manner as the related deferred revenue. As of December 31, 2013, customer acquisition costs totaling $11.0 million were deferred and are expected to be expensed during the years ending December 31, 2014 and 2015 at $10.2 million and $0.8 million, respectively.

(j) *Translation of Foreign* *Currencies*-

For currency exchange rate purposes, assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries are translated at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Equity and other items are translated at historical rates and income and expenses are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. The related translation adjustments are reflected in the Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss caption of our consolidated balance sheets. Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from transactions, including intercompany transactions, are included in results of operations. The transaction gains (losses) included in the administrative expenses caption of our consolidated statements of income were ($0.1) million, $0.4 million and ($1.3) million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The transaction gains (losses) included in the Cost of products caption of our Consolidated Statements of Income were ($0.7) million, ($1.0) million and ($0.1) million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

(k) *Earnings Per Share* -

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income available to our common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares. The calculation of diluted earnings per share is similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator includes dilutive common share equivalents such as share options and restricted share units. Reconciliation between basic and diluted earnings per share is as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

		Year Ended December 31,
		2013				2012				2011

Net income		$	49,439			$	53,102			$	50,935
Weighted average shares outstanding used in calculating basic earnings per share			14,649				14,878				15,013
Dilutive common share equivalents			169				174				204
Weighted average common and common equivalent shares used in calculating diluted earnings per share			14,818				15,052				15,217

Income per share:
Basic		$	3.37			$	3.57			$	3.39
Diluted		$	3.34			$	3.53			$	3.35
Options and restricted share units outstanding which are not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their impact is anti-dilutive			15				34				77

(l) *Use of Estimates* -

The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the assessment of the realization of accounts receivables, accounts receivable-students, student notes receivable, and recovery of long-lived assets and goodwill and other intangible assets, the determination of deferred income taxes, including valuation allowances, the useful lives of definite - lived intangible assets and property and equipment, the determination of fair value of assets and liabilities in purchase price allocations, gift certificate breakage revenue, the assumptions related to the determination of share based compensation for Center sales and related deferred customer acquisition costs, the determination of the average number of treatments provided, and the allocation of arrangement consideration between services and products for treatment packages that include our products.

(m) *Fair Value of Financial Instruments* -

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, the inputs used to measure fair value are prioritized based on a three-level hierarchy. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

	●	Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

	●	Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1. This includes dealer and broker quotations, bid prices, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

	●	Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

We have no assets or liabilities that are adjusted to fair value on a recurring basis. We did not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the three years ended December 31, 2013.

Cash and cash equivalents is reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements at cost, which approximated fair value estimated, using Level 1 inputs, as they are maintained with various high-quality financial institutions and having original maturities of three months or less. The fair values of our term and revolving loans were estimated using Level 2 inputs based on quoted prices for those or similar instruments. The fair values of the term and revolving loans were determined using applicable interest rates as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and approximate the carrying value of such debt because the underlying instruments were at variable rates that are repriced frequently. It is not practicable to estimate the fair value of the student receivables, since observable market data is not readily available, and no reasonable estimation methodology exists.

(n) *Concentrations of Credit Risk* -

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. We maintain cash and cash equivalents with high quality financial institutions. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, we had one customer that represented greater than 10% of our accounts receivable. We do not normally require collateral or other security to support normal credit sales. We control credit risk through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures. We extend unsecured credit to our students for tuition and fees and we record a receivable for the tuition and fees earned in excess of the payment received from or on behalf of a student. Accounts receivable and Accounts receivable – students are stated at amounts due from customers, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. We record an allowance for doubtful accounts with respect to accounts receivable using historical collection experience. We review the historical collection experience and consider other facts and circumstances and adjust the calculation to record an allowance for doubtful accounts as appropriate. If our current collection trends were to differ significantly from our historic collection experience, however, we would make a corresponding adjustment to our allowance. Bad debt expense is included within administrative operating expenses in our consolidated statements of income. We write off amounts due from former students and other customers when we conclude that collection is not probable. A roll-forward of the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable is as follows (in thousands):

		2013				2012				2011
Balance at beginning of year		$	10,913			$	8,525			$	8,636
Provision			6,057				3,198				2,178
Write-offs			(8,311	)			(810	)			(2,289	)
Balance at end of year		$	8,659			$	10,913			$	8,525

Student notes receivable represent extensions of credit to students that generally mature 60 months subsequent to the student's graduation date. We extend credit after an evaluation of credit scores and credit information. Revenues related to the issuance of such notes are recognized over the students' applicable course or program period at the net amount expected to be collected on such notes. Any future adjustments to our estimate of collectability of the notes are recorded as an adjustment to bad debt expense. Generally, no interest is charged while the student attends courses and the interest rate generally increases to 9.5% once the student graduates. Interest income is recorded as amounts are received. Loan origination fees are deferred and recognized over the life of the notes as an adjustment of interest income. Any other lending costs, such as servicing fees, are charged to expense as incurred.

These notes receivable are included in other current assets and other assets for the short-term and long-term balances, respectively. Student notes receivable are stated net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. We establish and monitor an allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical bad debt experience for these loans and other qualitative information. Generally, a student's notes receivable balance is written off once it is determined to be uncollectible if the note is more than 90 days past due, based on collection efforts, and/or if a student has filed for bankruptcy. Payments received on past due student notes receivable are recorded against bad debt expense. A roll-forward of the allowance for doubtful accounts for notes receivable is as follows (in thousands):

		2013				2012				2011
Balance at beginning of year		$	2,002			$	419			$	210
Provision			2,642				1,628				350
Write-offs			(645	)			(45	)			(141	)
Balance at end of year		$	3,999			$	2,002			$	419

As of December 31, 2013, the delinquency status of gross student notes receivable was as follows (in thousands):

Current		$	2,949
30-Jan			571
31 - 60			301
61 - 90			371
91 +			653
		$	4,845

(o) *Stock-Based Compensation* -

We reserved approximately 8,425,000 of our common shares for issuance under our Amended and Restated 1996 Share Option and Incentive Plan (the "1996 Plan"), under our 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2004 Plan"), under our 2009 Incentive Plan (the "2009 Plan"), under our 2012 Incentive Plan (the "2012 Plan" and, collectively, with the 1996 Plan, the 2004 Plan and the 2009 Plan, the "Equity Plans") and 185,625 of our common shares for issuance under our Non-Employee Directors' Share Option Plan (the "Directors' Plan," and, collectively, with the, Equity Plans, the "Plans"). Under the 2012 Plan (awards may no longer be made under the other Plans), restricted share units and other awards may be granted. The terms of each award agreement under the Equity Plans were or are, as the case may be, determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Terms of the grants under the Directors' Plan are set forth in the Directors' Plan. The exercise price of share options may not be less than fair market value at the date of grant and their terms may not exceed ten years. The exercise price of non-qualified share options under the Equity Plans was or is, as the case may be, determined by the Compensation Committee and their terms may not exceed ten years. Under the Equity Plans, share options and restricted share units outstanding as of December 31, 2013, other than grants to members of the Board of Directors, vest in equal installments over three to five years from the date of grant (i.e., graded vesting), subject to accelerated vesting in certain cases. There was one grant of restricted share units to an officer that vested in its entirety on the third anniversary date of the date of grant. Certain of the restricted share units require for vesting the meeting of certain performance criteria. All share options outstanding under the Directors' Plan as of December 31, 2013 vested one year from the date of grant, subject to accelerated vesting in certain cases. Upon vesting of share options, we issued new common shares to the award recipient. The grant date fair value of restricted share units is expensed as stock-based compensation over the vesting term using the straight-line recognition method for service-only awards and the accelerated basis for performance based awards with graded vesting. In addition, we estimate the amount of expected forfeitures in calculating compensation costs for all outstanding awards. The forfeiture rate is estimated at the grant date based on historical experience and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods for any changes to the estimated forfeiture rate from that previously estimated. For any vesting tranche of an award, the cumulative amount of compensation cost recognized is at least equal to the portion of the grant-date value of the award tranche that is actually vested at that date.

Total stock compensation expense recognized for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $8.8 million, $8.7 million and $10.5 million, respectively, and has been included within salary and payroll taxes in our Consolidated Statements of Income.

	$	14.19			$	42.97				79				2		$	36.36			79		$	36.36

No share options were granted during the three years ended December 31, 2013. The total intrinsic value of share options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $0.5 million, $0.5 million and $1.8 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2013, there was no unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to share options granted under the Plans.

Restricted Share Units

Restricted share units become unrestricted common shares upon vesting on a one-for-one basis. The compensation cost of these awards is determined using the fair value of our common shares on the date of the grant and compensation expense is recognized over the service period for awards expected to vest. Restricted share unit activity for 2013 is summarized in the following table (in thousands, except share price):

Restricted Share Unit Activity		Number of Awards				Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value
Non-vested shares at January 1, 2011			590			$	38.81
Granted			263			$	43.57
Vested			(266	)		$	35.15
Cancelled			(10	)		$	41.09

Non-vested shares at January 1, 2012			577			$	42.63
Granted			223			$	46.1
Vested			(242	)		$	41.82
Cancelled			(148	)		$	43.94

Non-vested shares at January 1, 2013			410			$	44.52
Granted			190			$	55.79
Vested			(162	)		$	43.48
Cancelled			(5	)		$	45.39
Future vesting of non-vested shares estimated at December 31, 2013			433			$	49.86

As of December 31, 2013, we had $17.1 million of total unrecognized compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to non-vested restricted share unit grants, which is recognized over the weighted-average period of 2.2 years after the respective dates of grant. As of December 31, 2012, we had $15.2 million of total unrecognized compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to restricted share unit grants, which is recognized over the weighted average period of 2.2 years after the respective dates of grant.

(p) *Recent Accounting Pronouncements* –

In January 2013, we adopted authoritative guidance issued in 2012 regarding the periodic impairment testing of indefinite-lived intangible assets. The new guidance allows an entity to assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that indefinite-lived intangible assets might be impaired and, based on this assessment, to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment tests. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2013, we adopted authoritative guidance regarding the presentation of amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to net income. The new guidance requires an entity to present, either in a single note or parenthetically on the face of the financial statements, the effect of significant amounts reclassified from each component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) based on its source (e.g., the release due to cash flow hedges from interest rate contracts) and the income statement line items affected by the reclassification (e.g., interest income or interest expense). We elected to present this information in a single note. See Note 11. Changes in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss for our disclosures required under this guidance.

In March 2013, amended guidance was issued regarding the release of cumulative translation adjustments into net income. The new guidance provides clarification of when to release the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity. This guidance became effective for our interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this newly issued guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements, but will have an impact on the accounting for future sales of investments or changes in control of foreign entities.

(q) *Deferred Financing Costs* -

Deferred financing costs primarily relate to the costs of obtaining our former and current credit facilities and consist primarily of loan origination and other direct financing costs. These costs are amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the related debt balances. Such amortization is reflected as interest expense in our Consolidated Statements of Income and amounted to $1.0 million, $1.4 million and $1.3 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

(r) *Deferred Rent* -

Deferred rent relates to tenant incentives that we have received or will receive in the future from certain lessors in connection with the build-out of our land-based spas, school campuses or Ideal Image centers. These amounts are being amortized over the terms of the respective leases on a straight-line basis. Amortization was $1.0 million, $1.0 million and $1.1 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and was included in cost of revenues in our consolidated statements of income.

(s) *Advertising Costs* -

Substantially all of our advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred, except costs which result in tangible assets, such as brochures, which are recorded as prepaid expenses and charged to expense as consumed. Advertising costs were approximately $56.6 million, $45.4 million and $21.7 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Of these amounts, $46.3 million, $36.5 million and $14.5 million are included in cost of revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of income in 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the amounts of advertising costs are an immaterial component of prepaid expenses and other current assets.

(t) *Contingent Rents and Scheduled Rent Increases* -

Our land-based spas, generally, are required to pay rent based on a percentage of our revenues. In addition, for certain of our land-based spas, we are required to pay a minimum rental amount regardless of whether such amount would be required to be paid under the percentage rent agreement. Rent escalations are recorded on a straight-line basis over the terms of the lease agreements. We record contingent rent at the time it becomes probable it will exceed the minimum rent obligation per the lease agreements. Previously recognized rental expense is reversed into income at such time that it is not probable that the specified target will be met.

(u) *Seasonality* -

A significant portion of our revenues are generated from our cruise ship spa operations. Certain cruise lines, and, as a result, Steiner Leisure, has experienced varying degrees of seasonality as the demand for cruises is stronger in the Northern Hemisphere during the summer months and during holidays. Accordingly, generally the third quarter and holiday periods result in the highest revenue yields for us. Historically, the revenues of Ideal Image were weakest during the third quarter and, if this trend continues, this could offset to some extent the strength of our shipboard operations during the summer months. Our product sales are strongest in the third and fourth quarters as a result of the December holiday shopping period.

(v) *Shipping and Handling* -

Shipping and handling costs associated with inbound freight are capitalized to inventories and relieved through cost of sales as inventories are sold. Shipping and handling costs associated with the delivery of products are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Shipping and handling costs included in selling, general and administrative expenses amounted to $3.0 million, $2.8 million and $2.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

	Long-term debt, net of current portion	$	93,139	$	123,750

	On November 1, 2011, we entered into a credit agreement for a new credit facility (the "Credit Facility"), through our wholly-owned Steiner U.S. Holdings, Inc. subsidiary (the "Borrower"), with a group of lenders including SunTrust Bank, our then existing lender. The Credit Facility, which was amended in 2012, consists of a $60.0 million revolving credit facility with a $5.0 million Swing Line sub-facility and a $5.0 million Letter of Credit sub-facility (referred to collectively as the "Revolving Facility"), with a termination date of November 1, 2016, and a term loan facility (referred to as the "Term Facility"), in the aggregate principal amount equal to $165.0 million and with a maturity date of November 1, 2016. Concurrently with the effectiveness of the Credit Facility, our then existing facility was terminated. On the closing of the Credit Facility, the entire amount of the Term Facility was drawn to finance a portion of the acquisition (the "Merger Transaction") of Ideal Image. In addition, extensions of credit under the Credit Facility were used to pay certain fees and expenses associated with the Credit Facility and the Merger Transaction and may in the future be used (i) for capital expenditures, (ii) to finance acquisitions permitted under the credit agreement, and (iii) for working capital and general corporate purposes, including letters of credit. On June 21, 2013, we entered into an amendment to our credit facility. As a result, among other things, our restrictive payment limits were increased, certain of our financial covenants were modified, we received improved pricing on our interest rate and the maturity date of the term loan was extended from November 1, 2016 to June 21, 2018. In connection with entering into the amendment, we incurred $0.4 million of lender and third-party costs.

	Interest on borrowings under the Credit Facility accrues at either a base rate, an adjusted LIBO rate or an index rate, at Borrower's election, plus, in each case, an applicable margin. At December 31, 2013, our borrowing rate was 1.92%. All of Borrower's obligations under the Credit Facility are unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. The obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of our present and future assets.

	The Credit Facility contains customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants, including limitations on dividends, capital expenditures and funded debt, and requirements to maintain prescribed interest expense and fixed charge coverage ratios. We are in compliance with these covenants as of the date of this report. Other limitations on capital expenditures, or on other operational matters, could apply in the future under the credit agreement.

	All of our long-term debt is denominated in U.S. dollars. Future maturities as of December 31, 2013 are as follows (in thousands):

	(6) SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY:

	In February 2013, our Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase plan under which up to $100.0 million of common shares could be purchased. During 2012, we purchased approximately 782,000 shares for a total of approximately $35.9 million. During 2012, approximately 80,000 shares, with a value of approximately $3.8 million, were surrendered by our employees in connection with the vesting of restricted share units and used by us to satisfy payment of the employee federal income tax withholding obligations of these employees. During 2013, we purchased approximately 188,000 shares for a total of approximately $10.1 million. During 2013, approximately 60,000 shares with a value of approximately $3.5 million were surrendered by our employees in connection with the vesting of restricted share units and used by us to satisfy payment of employee federal income tax withholding obligations of these employees. The share purchases in connection with the restricted share unit vestings were made outside of our repurchase plan.

	Our U.S. subsidiaries have available net federal operating loss carry forwards ("NOLs") of approximately $101.3 million, which are available through 2032 to offset future taxable income. The tax benefit of such NOLs are recorded as an asset to the extent that management assesses the utilization of such NOLs to be more likely than not. Management has determined that, based on the recent results of operations of our subsidiaries, it is not more likely than not that future taxable income of the subsidiaries will be sufficient to fully utilize the available NOLs and, as a result, a valuation allowance has been established. The valuation allowance was increased by approximately $10.2 million, $1.0 million and $14.5 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

	A deferred tax asset, or future tax benefit, is recorded based on the amount of non-cash compensation expense recognized in the financial statements for share-based awards. For income tax purposes, a tax deduction equal to the share price on the vesting date of the share-based awards is recognized. Upon vesting of these awards, the deferred tax assets are reversed, and the difference between the deferred tax asset and the realized income tax benefit creates an excess tax benefit or deficiency that increases or decreases the additional paid-in-capital pool ("APIC Pool"). If the amount of future tax deficiencies is greater than the available APIC Pool, then an income tax expense will be recorded in our consolidated statements of operations for the deficiencies in excess of the APIC Pool. As of December 31, 2013, net excess tax benefits of approximately $0.6 million associated with share-based awards for employees in the United Kingdom were recorded as amounts credited to the APIC Pool.

We do not expect to incur income taxes on future distributions of undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries and, accordingly, no deferred income taxes have been provided for the distribution of these earnings.

The Company is subject to routine audit by U.S. federal, state, local and foreign taxing authorities. These audits include questioning the timing and the amount of deductions and the allocation of income among various tax jurisdictions. Income taxes payable includes amounts considered sufficient to pay assessments that may result from examination of prior year returns; however, the amount paid upon resolution of issues raised may differ from the amount provided. Differences between the reserves for tax contingencies and the amounts owed by the Company are recorded in the period they become known.

There are no unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would materially affect our effective tax rate.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]	'
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Text Block]	'
	(8) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

	(a) *Cruise Line Agreements* -

	A large portion of our revenues are generated on cruise ships. We have entered into agreements of varying terms with the cruise lines under which we provide services and products paid for by cruise passengers. These agreements provide for us to pay the cruise line commissions for use of their shipboard facilities, as well as fees for staff shipboard meals and accommodations. These commissions are based on a percentage of revenue, a minimum annual amount or a combination of both. Some of the minimum commissions are calculated as a flat dollar amount while others are based upon minimum passenger per diems for passengers actually embarked on each cruise of the respective vessel. Staff shipboard meals and accommodations are charged by the cruise lines on a per staff per day basis. We recognize all expenses related to cruise line commissions, minimum guarantees and staff shipboard meals and accommodations, generally, as they are incurred. For cruises in process at period end, accrual is made to record such expenses in a manner that approximates a pro-rata basis. In addition, staff-related expenses such as shipboard employee commissions are recognized in the same manner. Pursuant to agreements that provide for minimum commissions, we guaranteed the following amounts as of December 31, 2013 (in thousands):

	Year	Amount
	2014	$	94,777
	2015		8,000
	2016		8,000
	2017		8,000
	2018		8,000
	Thereafter		8,000
		$	134,777

	The cruise line agreements have specified terms, ranging from one to six years with an average remaining term per ship of approximately two years as of February 1, 2014 (unaudited). Cruise line agreements that expire within one year covered 33 of the 156 ships served by us as of February 1, 2014 (unaudited). These 33 ships accounted for approximately 7.2% of our 2013 revenues. Revenues from passengers of each of the following cruise companies accounted for more than ten percent of our total revenues in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively: Carnival (including Carnival, Carnival Australia, Costa, Cunard, Holland America, Ibero, P&O, Princess and Seabourn cruise lines): 24.4%, 25.7% and 29.9% and Royal Caribbean (including Royal Caribbean, Celebrity (we will cease serving Celebrity ships in the second quarter of 2014), Pullmantur and Azamara cruise lines): 13.9%, 14.8% and 16.7%. These companies, combined, accounted for 128 of the 156 ships served by us as of February 1, 2014. If we cease to serve one of these cruise companies, or a substantial number of ships operated by a cruise company, it could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. We have separate agreements for each cruise line, even where they are under common ownership with other cruise lines.

	(b) *Operating Leases* -

	We lease office and warehouse space as well as office equipment and automobiles under operating leases. We also make certain payments to the owners of the venues where our land-based spas, schools and Ideal Image centers are located. Our land-based spas generally require rent based on a percentage of revenues. In addition, as part of our rental arrangements for some of our land-based spas and all of our schools and Ideal Image centers, we are required to pay a minimum annual rental regardless of whether such amount would be required to be paid under the percentage rent arrangement. Substantially all of these arrangements include renewal options ranging from three to five years. We incurred approximately $35.2 million, $31.6 million and $24.6 million in rental expense under operating leases in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

	Minimum annual commitments under operating leases at December 31, 2013 are as follows (in thousands):

	Year	Amount
	2014	$	27,097
	2015		24,199
	2016		18,953
	2017		15,755
	2018		13,739
	Thereafter		36,503
		$	136,246

	(c) *Employment and Consulting Agreements* -

	We have entered into one-year employment agreements, subject to renewal annually for one year, with certain of our executive officers. The agreements provide for minimum annual base salaries and annual incentive bonuses based on our attainment of certain targeted earnings levels. The earnings levels are required to be approved for such purpose by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors. We incurred approximately $3.8 million, $4.3 million and $2.9 million in compensation expense under these employment agreements in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

	Future minimum annual commitments under our employment agreements at December 31, 2013 are as follows (in thousands):

	Year	Amount
	2014	$	4,101

	(d) *Product Supply and Equipment* -

	We develop and sell a variety of high quality beauty products under our Elemis, La Thérapie, Bliss, BlissLabs, Remède, Laboratoire Remède, Mandara Spa, Mandara and Jou brands. Many of our products are produced for us by premier United States and European manufacturers. If any of this limited number of manufacturers ceased producing for us, for any reason, these ingredients and other materials for our products, the transition to other manufacturers could result in significant production delays. Any significant delay or disruption in the supply of our products could adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition.

	Ideal Image depends on a single manufacturer as the source of its laser hair removal equipment. Ideal Image does not have an agreement with this manufacturer which would require the manufacturer to continue providing these devices to Ideal Image. If Ideal Image were unable to continue to acquire this equipment from this manufacturer, Ideal Image would be required to seek another manufacturer of these devices or a manufacturer of alternative devices and we cannot assure you that the devices we currently use or equivalent devices would be available at prices that are economically beneficial to us or otherwise. Any lack of availability for more than a brief period of time of the equipment we use to provide our laser hair removal services could adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition.

	(e) *Product Liability* -

	The nature and use of our products and services could give rise to liability, including product liability, if a customer were injured while receiving one of our services (including those performed by students at our schools) or were to suffer adverse reactions following the use of our products. Adverse reactions could be caused by various factors beyond our control, including hypoallergenic sensitivity and the possibility of malicious tampering with our products. Guests at our spa facilities also could be injured, among other things, in connection with their use of our fitness equipment, sauna facilities or other facilities. If any of these events occurred, we could incur substantial litigation expense and be required to make payments in connection with settlements of claims or as a result of judgments against us.

	(f) *Governmental Regulation* -

	We derive a large portion of our massage and beauty school revenue from students participating in the Title IV Programs. The majority of our students rely on federal student financial assistance received under the Title IV Programs to help pay for the cost of their education. In order to provide eligible students with access to Title IV Program funds, our schools must be eligible to participate in the Title IV Programs. Among other things, in order to participate in the Title IV Programs, each school must be accredited by an accrediting agency recognized by the DOE, legally authorized to provide post-secondary educational programs in the state in which it is physically located, and certified by the DOE as part of an eligible institution. These approvals, accreditations, and certifications must typically be renewed from time to time with the applicable agencies.

	Consequently, each of our schools is subject to the extensive requirements of the HEA and the regulations promulgated by the DOE, as well as to the separate requirements of its respective state licensing and accrediting agencies. These regulatory requirements cover virtually all phases of our operations, including our educational programs, facilities, instructional and administrative staff, administrative procedures, marketing and recruiting, financial operations, payment of refunds to students who withdraw from school, acquisitions or openings of additional schools, additions of new educational programs and changes in our corporate structure. Any failure to comply with the HEA or DOE regulations, state laws or regulations, or accrediting body standards could subject any or all of our schools to loss of eligibility to participate in the Title IV Programs, loss of state licensure or accreditation, monetary liabilities with respect to funds determined to have been improperly disbursed, fines or other sanctions. Because the DOE periodically revises its regulations and changes its interpretations of existing laws and regulations, we cannot predict with certainty how Title IV Program requirements will be applied in all circumstances or whether each of our schools will be able to comply with all of the requirements in the future. Because a majority of our students pay their tuition with financial assistance from the Title IV Programs, the continued eligibility to participate in these programs is critical to the success of our schools. Increased regulation in recent years related to the operations of our schools has required us to increase the amount of funds we spend on compliance-related matters. Any loss or limitation on the eligibility of our schools to participate in the Title IV Programs could adversely affect our schools' results of operations and financial condition.

	An institution participating in the Title IV Programs must comply with certain measures of financial responsibility under DOE regulations. Among other things, an institution must achieve an acceptable composite score, which is calculated by combining the results of three separate financial ratios. If an institution's composite score is below the minimum requirement, but above a designated threshold level, such institution may take advantage of an alternative that allows it to continue to participate in the Title IV Programs for up to three years under certain "zone alternative" requirements, including additional monitoring procedures and the heightened cash monitoring or the reimbursement methods of payment (the latter method would require the school to cover the costs of a student's enrollment and then seek reimbursement of such costs from the DOE). If an institution's composite score falls below this threshold level or is between the minimum for an acceptable composite score and the threshold for more than three consecutive years, the institution will be required to post a letter of credit in favor of the DOE in order to continue to participate in the Title IV Programs and may be subject to zone alternative and other requirements. The DOE measures the financial responsibility of all of our schools based on the composite score of the schools' parent company, Steiner Education Group, Inc., rather than each school individually. We expect the DOE to continue to evaluate the financial responsibility of our schools in the same manner.

	An institution which fails to satisfy the 90/10 Rule for one fiscal year is placed on provisional certification and may be subject to other sanctions. If one of our institutions fails to comply with the 90/10 Rule, the institution (including its main campus and all of its additional locations) could lose its eligibility to participate in the Title IV Programs. Certain HEA-related relief from the 90/10 Rule expired on July 1, 2011. Since the expiration of such relief, we have experienced adverse effects on our ability to comply with this rule and we expect to experience an increase to such adverse effects on our ability to comply with this rule in the future. Moreover, if Congress or the DOE were to modify the 90/10 rule by lowering the 90% threshold, counting other federal funds in the same manner as Title IV funds in the 90/10 calculation, or otherwise amending the calculation methodology (each of which has been proposed by some Congressional members in proposed legislation), these or other changes to the 90/10 Rule could adversely affect our ability to the comply with the 90/10 Rule.

	The operation of our schools is required to be authorized by applicable agencies of the states in which they are located. These authorizations vary from state to state but, generally, require schools to meet tests relating to financial matters, administrative capabilities, educational criteria, the rates at which students complete their programs and the rates at which students are placed into employment.

Accreditation by an accrediting agency recognized by the DOE is also required for an institution to participate in the federal student financial aid programs. Requirements for accreditation vary substantially among the applicable agencies. Loss of state authorization or accreditation by one or more of our campuses could have a material adverse effect on our student population and revenue.

(g) *Legal Proceedings* -

From time to time, in the ordinary course of business, we are a party to various claims and legal proceedings. Currently, there are no such claims or proceedings which, in the opinion of management, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

	(9) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

	During 2000, we moved our United Kingdom staff training facility into a new facility. Effective June 24, 2000, we executed a 20-year commercial office lease for this new facility. The lessor for this facility is a company which is owned by certain members of the family of our Chairman of the Board and another one of our directors. Execution of the lease was approved by a majority of the disinterested members of our Board of Directors. We believe that the terms of the lease are no less favorable than could be obtained from an unaffiliated party. Rent expense (denominated in U.K. Pound Sterling and converted to U.S. Dollars based on exchange rates then in effect) totaled $0.3 million in each of the three years ended December 31, 2013. Future annual commitments under the lease are $0.3 million for the remaining term of the lease, subject to increases in 2015.

Accounting Policies, by Policy (Policies)	12 Months Ended
Accounting Policies, by Policy (Policies)	Dec. 31, 2013
Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	a) *Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation* -

	Our Consolidated Financial Statements include our accounts and those of our wholly-owned subsidiaries and companies in which we have a controlling interest, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

	We hold variable interests in physician-owned entities that provide medical services to the Centers’ guests. These entities were set up for regulatory compliance purposes. We bear the benefits and risks of loss from operating those entities through contractual agreements. Our consolidated financial statements include the operating results of those entities. The assets and liabilities of these entities are not material to the consolidated balance sheets.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	b) *Cash and Cash Equivalents* -

	We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, cash and cash equivalents included interest-bearing deposits of $11.4 million and $13.5 million, respectively.

	We maintain our cash and cash equivalents with reputable major financial institutions. Deposits with these banks exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits or similar limits in foreign jurisdictions. While we monitor daily the cash balances in our operating accounts and adjust the balances as appropriate, these balances could be impacted if one or more of the financial institutions with which we deposit funds fails or is subject to other adverse conditions in the financial or credit markets. To date we have experienced no loss or lack of access to our invested cash or cash equivalents; however, we can provide no assurance that access to our invested cash and cash equivalents will not be impacted by adverse conditions in the financial and credit markets.
Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	c) *Inventories* -

	Inventories, consisting principally of beauty products, are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Manufactured finished goods include the cost of raw material, labor and overhead. Inventories consist of the following (in thousands):

			December 31,
			2013				2012
	Finished goods		$	54,403			$	46,711
	Raw materials			6,084				4,582
			$	60,487			$	51,293
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	d) *Property and Equipment* -

	Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets on a straight-line basis. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the terms of the respective leases and the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Leasehold improvements generally include renewal periods that may be obtained at our option that are considered significant to the continuation of our operations and to the existence of leasehold improvements the value of which would be impaired if we discontinued use of the leased property. Repairs and maintenance and any gains or losses on disposition are included in results of operations.

	We review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate, based on estimated future cash flows, that the carrying amount of these assets may not be fully recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset (asset group) to future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset (asset group). An asset group is the lowest level of assets and liabilities for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. When estimating future cash flows, we consider:

		●	only the future cash flows that are directly associated with and that are expected to arise as a direct result of the use and eventual disposition of the asset group;

		●	our own assumptions about our use of the asset group and all available evidence when estimating future cash flows;

		●	potential events and changes in circumstance affecting our key estimates and assumptions; and

		●	the existing service potential of the asset (asset group) at the date tested.

	If an asset (asset group) is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset (asset group) exceeds its fair value. When determining the fair value of the asset (asset group), we consider the highest and best use of the assets from a market-participant perspective. The fair value measurement is generally determined through the use of independent third party appraisals or an expected present value technique, both of which may include a discounted cash flow approach, which reflects our own assumptions of what market participants would utilize to price the asset (asset group).

	Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Assets to be abandoned, or from which no further benefit is expected, are written down to zero at the time that the determination is made and the assets are removed entirely from service
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	e) *Revenue Recognition* -

	We recognize revenues earned as services are provided and as products are sold or shipped, as the case may be. We also provide a reserve for projected product returns based on prior experience. Revenue from gift certificate sales is recognized upon gift certificate redemption and upon recognition of "breakage" (non-redemption of a gift certificate after a specified period of time). We do not charge administrative fees on unused gift cards, and our gift cards do not have an expiration date. Based on historical redemption rates, a relatively stable percentage of gift certificates will never be redeemed. We use the redemption recognition method for recognizing breakage related to certain gift certificates for which we had sufficient historical information. Under the redemption recognition method, revenue is recorded in proportion to, and over the time period gift cards are actually redeemed. Breakage is recognized only if we determine that we do not have a legal obligation to remit the value of unredeemed gift certificates to government agencies under the unclaimed property laws in the relevant jurisdictions. We determine our gift certificate breakage rate based upon historical redemption patterns. At least three years of historical data, which is updated annually, is used to determine actual redemption patterns. Gift certificate breakage income is included in revenue in our consolidated statement of income for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

	Tuition revenue and revenue related to certain nonrefundable fees and charges at our massage and beauty schools are recognized monthly on a straight-line basis over the term of the course of study. At the time a student begins attending a school, a liability (unearned tuition) is recorded for all academic services to be provided and a tuition receivable is recorded for the portion of the tuition not paid up front in cash. Revenue related to sales of program materials, books and supplies are, generally, recognized when the program materials, books and supplies are delivered. We include the revenue related to sales of program materials, books and supplies in the Services Revenue financial statement caption in our Consolidated Statements of Income. These amounts were $7.8 million, $7.1 million and $6.3 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. If a student withdraws from one of our schools prior to the completion of the academic term, we refund the portion of the tuition already paid that, pursuant to our refund policy and applicable federal and state law and accrediting agency standards, we are not entitled to retain.

	We recognize Centers' sales in relation to laser hair removal treatment packages sold at Company-owned and at physician-owned clinic locations. The packages provide for five initial treatments which occur at up to ten-week intervals and generally allow for up to four additional treatments, as necessary, to obtain the desired results. Centers' sales service revenue is recognized evenly over the average number of treatments provided, and is included in Services Revenues in our consolidated statements of income. Remaining revenue, net of related financing fees, relating to unperformed services is included in deferred revenue in our consolidated balance sheets. During 2013, some of our treatment packages included certain of our products. Treatment packages that are bundled with our products are considered multiple deliverable arrangements and, hence, require us to allocate revenue between services and products using either vendor specific objective evidence, third party evidence of selling price, or the best estimate of selling price.

	Because both our treatments and products are offered for sale separately, we allocate consideration received for treatment packages based upon their relative stand-alone selling prices. Revenues for the treatment component are deferred and recognized as discussed above. Revenues for the products are recognized when they are delivered. All costs directly related to the operation of both Company-owned and physician-owned center locations, such as rent of the facilities, maintenance costs of our equipment, depreciation expense related to leaseholds and equipment, payroll costs of sales personnel and service providers and advertising costs are included in Cost of Services and certain of these costs are included in Cost of Products to the extent they relate to the sale of products in our condensed consolidated statements of income. All corporate-related payroll and other corporate-related expenses are included in Salary and Payroll and Administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of income.

	We receive royalties from Ideal Image franchisees. These royalties from franchised Ideal Image Center operations are recognized in the period earned and are recorded in Services Revenues in our condensed consolidated statements of income. There are no related direct costs associated with these royalties.

	Deferred revenue represents Center contractual treatments of $120.5 million at December 31, 2013, for which payment has been received or a customer financing receivable recorded. Deferred revenues were net of deferred finance fees totaling $10.2 million and $8.5 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These fees will be expensed in the same proportion of the related service revenue.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	f) *Intangible Assets* -

	Intangible assets includes the cost of customer lists, covenants not to compete, unpatented technologies, our rights under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 ("HEA"), trade names, leases, licenses and logos related to acquisitions. For definite-lived intangible assets, such costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which range from three to 20 years. Certain intangible assets have indefinite lives, and therefore, no amortization occurs, however, they are subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment. Amortization expense related to intangible assets totaled $1.1 million, $1.3 million and $1.0 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Amortization expense is estimated to be $0.9 million in 2014, $0.8 million in 2015, $0.4 million in 2016, $0.3 million in 2017 and $0.3 million in 2018.

	A detail of intangibles is as follows (in thousands):

			Year Ended December 31,
			2013				2012
	Intangible assets (various, principally trade names, leases, licenses and logos) with definite lives:
	Gross carrying amount		$	13,509			$	13,509
	Less accumulated amortization			(10,158	)			(9,060	)
	Amortized intangible assets, net			3,351				4,449

	Unamortized intangible assets with indefinite lives:
	Trade names			71,549				71,549
	Title IV rights			13,514				13,514
	Intangible assets with indefinite lives			85,063				85,063
	Total intangible assets, net		$	88,414			$	89,512
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Goodwill, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	g) *Goodwill* -

	Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair market value of identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment by applying a fair value based test. The impairment loss is the amount, if any, by which the implied fair value of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are less than the carrying or book value. Annually each January 1, we performed the required annual impairment test for each reporting unit and determined there was no impairment. We have six operating segments: (1) Maritime, (2) Land-based spas, (3) Product Distribution, (4) Training, (5) Schools and (6) Laser Hair Removal. The Maritime, Land-Based spas, Product Distribution, Schools and Laser Hair Removal operating segments have associated goodwill and each of them has been determined to be a reporting unit.

	The following table presents the balance of goodwill by reporting unit, including the changes in carrying amount of goodwill, for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012:

							Land-Based				Product							Laser Hair Removal
			Maritime				Spas				Distribution				Schools			Laser Hair Removal			Total
	Balance at December 31, 2011		$	10,704			$	40,297			$	23,695			$	58,459		$	195,076		$	328,231
	Acquired goodwill			--				--				--				--			--			--
	Balance at December 31, 2012			10,704				40,297				23,695				58,459			195,076			328,231
	Acquired goodwill			--				--				--				--			--			--
	Balance at December 31, 2013		$	10,704			$	40,297			$	23,695			$	58,459		$	195,076		$	328,231
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	h) *Income Taxes* -

	We file a consolidated tax return for our U.S. subsidiaries, other than those domiciled in U.S. territories, which file specific returns. In addition, our foreign subsidiaries file income tax returns in their respective countries of incorporation, where required. We utilize the liability method and deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities given the provisions of enacted tax laws. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on the changes to the asset or liability from period to period. A valuation allowance is provided on deferred tax assets if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The majority of our income is generated outside of the United States. We believe a large percentage of our shipboard services income is foreign-source income, not effectively connected to a business we conduct in the United States and, therefore, not subject to United States income taxation.

	We recognize interest and penalties within the provision for income taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Income. To the extent interest and penalties are not assessed with respect to uncertain tax positions, amounts accrued therefor will be reduced and reflected as a reduction of the overall income tax provision.

	The Company recognizes liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on a two-step process. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount of benefit that, determined on a cumulative probability basis, is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
Precontract Costs, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	i) *Deferred Customer Acquisition Costs* -

	Commission costs directly related to the acquisition of contracts with customers for Ideal Image services are deferred and expensed over the average number of treatments provided in the same manner as the related deferred revenue. As of December 31, 2013, customer acquisition costs totaling $11.0 million were deferred and are expected to be expensed during the years ending December 31, 2014 and 2015 at $10.2 million and $0.8 million, respectively.
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	j) *Translation of Foreign* *Currencies*-

	For currency exchange rate purposes, assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries are translated at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Equity and other items are translated at historical rates and income and expenses are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. The related translation adjustments are reflected in the Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss caption of our consolidated balance sheets. Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from transactions, including intercompany transactions, are included in results of operations. The transaction gains (losses) included in the administrative expenses caption of our consolidated statements of income were ($0.1) million, $0.4 million and ($1.3) million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The transaction gains (losses) included in the Cost of products caption of our Consolidated Statements of Income were ($0.7) million, ($1.0) million and ($0.1) million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	k) *Earnings Per Share* -

	Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income available to our common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares. The calculation of diluted earnings per share is similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator includes dilutive common share equivalents such as share options and restricted share units. Reconciliation between basic and diluted earnings per share is as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

			Year Ended December 31,
			2013				2012				2011

	Net income		$	49,439			$	53,102			$	50,935
	Weighted average shares outstanding used in calculating basic earnings per share			14,649				14,878				15,013
	Dilutive common share equivalents			169				174				204
	Weighted average common and common equivalent shares used in calculating diluted earnings per share			14,818				15,052				15,217

	Income per share:
	Basic		$	3.37			$	3.57			$	3.39
	Diluted		$	3.34			$	3.53			$	3.35
	Options and restricted share units outstanding which are not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their impact is anti-dilutive			15				34				77
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	l) *Use of Estimates* -

	The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the assessment of the realization of accounts receivables, accounts receivable-students, student notes receivable, and recovery of long-lived assets and goodwill and other intangible assets, the determination of deferred income taxes, including valuation allowances, the useful lives of definite - lived intangible assets and property and equipment, the determination of fair value of assets and liabilities in purchase price allocations, gift certificate breakage revenue, the assumptions related to the determination of share based compensation for Center sales and related deferred customer acquisition costs, the determination of the average number of treatments provided, and the allocation of arrangement consideration between services and products for treatment packages that include our products
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	m) *Fair Value of Financial Instruments* -

	Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, the inputs used to measure fair value are prioritized based on a three-level hierarchy. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

		●	Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

		●	Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1. This includes dealer and broker quotations, bid prices, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

		●	Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

	We have no assets or liabilities that are adjusted to fair value on a recurring basis. We did not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the three years ended December 31, 2013.

	Cash and cash equivalents is reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements at cost, which approximated fair value estimated, using Level 1 inputs, as they are maintained with various high-quality financial institutions and having original maturities of three months or less. The fair values of our term and revolving loans were estimated using Level 2 inputs based on quoted prices for those or similar instruments. The fair values of the term and revolving loans were determined using applicable interest rates as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and approximate the carrying value of such debt because the underlying instruments were at variable rates that are repriced frequently. It is not practicable to estimate the fair value of the student receivables, since observable market data is not readily available, and no reasonable estimation methodology exists.
Concentration Risk, Credit Risk, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	n) *Concentrations of Credit Risk* -

	Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. We maintain cash and cash equivalents with high quality financial institutions. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, we had one customer that represented greater than 10% of our accounts receivable. We do not normally require collateral or other security to support normal credit sales. We control credit risk through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures. We extend unsecured credit to our students for tuition and fees and we record a receivable for the tuition and fees earned in excess of the payment received from or on behalf of a student. Accounts receivable and Accounts receivable – students are stated at amounts due from customers, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. We record an allowance for doubtful accounts with respect to accounts receivable using historical collection experience. We review the historical collection experience and consider other facts and circumstances and adjust the calculation to record an allowance for doubtful accounts as appropriate. If our current collection trends were to differ significantly from our historic collection experience, however, we would make a corresponding adjustment to our allowance. Bad debt expense is included within administrative operating expenses in our consolidated statements of income. We write off amounts due from former students and other customers when we conclude that collection is not probable. A roll-forward of the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable is as follows (in thousands):

			2013				2012				2011
	Balance at beginning of year		$	10,913			$	8,525			$	8,636
	Provision			6,057				3,198				2,178
	Write-offs			(8,311	)			(810	)			(2,289	)
	Balance at end of year		$	8,659			$	10,913			$	8,525

	Student notes receivable represent extensions of credit to students that generally mature 60 months subsequent to the student's graduation date. We extend credit after an evaluation of credit scores and credit information. Revenues related to the issuance of such notes are recognized over the students' applicable course or program period at the net amount expected to be collected on such notes. Any future adjustments to our estimate of collectability of the notes are recorded as an adjustment to bad debt expense. Generally, no interest is charged while the student attends courses and the interest rate generally increases to 9.5% once the student graduates. Interest income is recorded as amounts are received. Loan origination fees are deferred and recognized over the life of the notes as an adjustment of interest income. Any other lending costs, such as servicing fees, are charged to expense as incurred.

	These notes receivable are included in other current assets and other assets for the short-term and long-term balances, respectively. Student notes receivable are stated net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. We establish and monitor an allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical bad debt experience for these loans and other qualitative information. Generally, a student's notes receivable balance is written off once it is determined to be uncollectible if the note is more than 90 days past due, based on collection efforts, and/or if a student has filed for bankruptcy. Payments received on past due student notes receivable are recorded against bad debt expense. A roll-forward of the allowance for doubtful accounts for notes receivable is as follows (in thousands):

			2013				2012				2011
	Balance at beginning of year		$	2,002			$	419			$	210
	Provision			2,642				1,628				350
	Write-offs			(645	)			(45	)			(141	)
	Balance at end of year		$	3,999			$	2,002			$	419

	As of December 31, 2013, the delinquency status of gross student notes receivable was as follows (in thousands):
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	o) *Stock-Based Compensation* -

	We reserved approximately 8,425,000 of our common shares for issuance under our Amended and Restated 1996 Share Option and Incentive Plan (the "1996 Plan"), under our 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2004 Plan"), under our 2009 Incentive Plan (the "2009 Plan"), under our 2012 Incentive Plan (the "2012 Plan" and, collectively, with the 1996 Plan, the 2004 Plan and the 2009 Plan, the "Equity Plans") and 185,625 of our common shares for issuance under our Non-Employee Directors' Share Option Plan (the "Directors' Plan," and, collectively, with the, Equity Plans, the "Plans"). Under the 2012 Plan (awards may no longer be made under the other Plans), restricted share units and other awards may be granted. The terms of each award agreement under the Equity Plans were or are, as the case may be, determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Terms of the grants under the Directors' Plan are set forth in the Directors' Plan. The exercise price of share options may not be less than fair market value at the date of grant and their terms may not exceed ten years. The exercise price of non-qualified share options under the Equity Plans was or is, as the case may be, determined by the Compensation Committee and their terms may not exceed ten years. Under the Equity Plans, share options and restricted share units outstanding as of December 31, 2013, other than grants to members of the Board of Directors, vest in equal installments over three to five years from the date of grant (i.e., graded vesting), subject to accelerated vesting in certain cases. There was one grant of restricted share units to an officer that vested in its entirety on the third anniversary date of the date of grant. Certain of the restricted share units require for vesting the meeting of certain performance criteria. All share options outstanding under the Directors' Plan as of December 31, 2013 vested one year from the date of grant, subject to accelerated vesting in certain cases. Upon vesting of share options, we issued new common shares to the award recipient. The grant date fair value of restricted share units is expensed as stock-based compensation over the vesting term using the straight-line recognition method for service-only awards and the accelerated basis for performance based awards with graded vesting. In addition, we estimate the amount of expected forfeitures in calculating compensation costs for all outstanding awards. The forfeiture rate is estimated at the grant date based on historical experience and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods for any changes to the estimated forfeiture rate from that previously estimated. For any vesting tranche of an award, the cumulative amount of compensation cost recognized is at least equal to the portion of the grant-date value of the award tranche that is actually vested at that date.

	Total stock compensation expense recognized for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $8.8 million, $8.7 million and $10.5 million, respectively, and has been included within salary and payroll taxes in our Consolidated Statements of Income.

	Share Options

	Share options activity for 2013 is summarized in the following table (in thousands, except share price and years):

							Weighted-Average Exercise Price				Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Term				Aggregate Intrinsic Value (1)

	No share options were granted during the three years ended December 31, 2013. The total intrinsic value of share options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $0.5 million, $0.5 million and $1.8 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2013, there was no unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to share options granted under the Plans.

	Restricted Share Units

	Restricted share units become unrestricted common shares upon vesting on a one-for-one basis. The compensation cost of these awards is determined using the fair value of our common shares on the date of the grant and compensation expense is recognized over the service period for awards expected to vest. Restricted share unit activity for 2013 is summarized in the following table (in thousands, except share price):

	Restricted Share Unit Activity		Number of Awards				Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value
	Non-vested shares at January 1, 2011			590			$	38.81
	Granted			263			$	43.57
	Vested			(266	)		$	35.15
	Cancelled			(10	)		$	41.09

	Non-vested shares at January 1, 2012			577			$	42.63
	Granted			223			$	46.1
	Vested			(242	)		$	41.82

	Cancelled			(5	)		$	45.39
	Future vesting of non-vested shares estimated at December 31, 2013			433			$	49.86

	As of December 31, 2013, we had $17.1 million of total unrecognized compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to non-vested restricted share unit grants, which is recognized over the weighted-average period of 2.2 years after the respective dates of grant. As of December 31, 2012, we had $15.2 million of total unrecognized compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to restricted share unit grants, which is recognized over the weighted average period of 2.2 years after the respective dates of grant.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	p) *Recent Accounting Pronouncements* –

	In January 2013, we adopted authoritative guidance issued in 2012 regarding the periodic impairment testing of indefinite-lived intangible assets. The new guidance allows an entity to assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that indefinite-lived intangible assets might be impaired and, based on this assessment, to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment tests. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

	In March 2013, we adopted authoritative guidance regarding the presentation of amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to net income. The new guidance requires an entity to present, either in a single note or parenthetically on the face of the financial statements, the effect of significant amounts reclassified from each component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) based on its source (e.g., the release due to cash flow hedges from interest rate contracts) and the income statement line items affected by the reclassification (e.g., interest income or interest expense). We elected to present this information in a single note. See Note 11. Changes in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss for our disclosures required under this guidance.

	In March 2013, amended guidance was issued regarding the release of cumulative translation adjustments into net income. The new guidance provides clarification of when to release the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity. This guidance became effective for our interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this newly issued guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements, but will have an impact on the accounting for future sales of investments or changes in control of foreign entities.
Deferred Charges, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	q) *Deferred Financing Costs* -

	Deferred financing costs primarily relate to the costs of obtaining our former and current credit facilities and consist primarily of loan origination and other direct financing costs. These costs are amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the related debt balances. Such amortization is reflected as interest expense in our Consolidated Statements of Income and amounted to $1.0 million, $1.4 million and $1.3 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Deferred Rent Recognition [Policy Text Block]	'
	r) *Deferred Rent* -

	Deferred rent relates to tenant incentives that we have received or will receive in the future from certain lessors in connection with the build-out of our land-based spas, school campuses or Ideal Image centers. These amounts are being amortized over the terms of the respective leases on a straight-line basis. Amortization was $1.0 million, $1.0 million and $1.1 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and was included in cost of revenues in our consolidated statements of income.
Advertising Costs, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	s) *Advertising Costs* -

	Substantially all of our advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred, except costs which result in tangible assets, such as brochures, which are recorded as prepaid expenses and charged to expense as consumed. Advertising costs were approximately $56.6 million, $45.4 million and $21.7 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Of these amounts, $46.3 million, $36.5 million and $14.5 million are included in cost of revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of income in 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the amounts of advertising costs are an immaterial component of prepaid expenses and other current assets.
Contingent Rents and Scheduled Rent Increases Policy [Policy Text Block]	't) Contingent Rents and Scheduled Rent Increases -Our land-based spas, generally, are required to pay rent based on a percentage of our revenues. In addition, for certain of our land-based spas, we are required to pay a minimum rental amount regardless of whether such amount would be required to be paid under the percentage rent agreement. Rent escalations are recorded on a straight-line basis over the terms of the lease agreements. We record contingent rent at the time it becomes probable it will exceed the minimum rent obligation per the lease agreements. Previously recognized rental expense is reversed into income at such time that it is not probable that the specified target will be met.
Revenue Recognition, Sales of Services [Policy Text Block]	'
	u) *Seasonality* -

	A significant portion of our revenues are generated from our cruise ship spa operations. Certain cruise lines, and, as a result, Steiner Leisure, has experienced varying degrees of seasonality as the demand for cruises is stronger in the Northern Hemisphere during the summer months and during holidays. Accordingly, generally the third quarter and holiday periods result in the highest revenue yields for us. Historically, the revenues of Ideal Image were weakest during the third quarter and, if this trend continues, this could offset to some extent the strength of our shipboard operations during the summer months. Our product sales are strongest in the third and fourth quarters as a result of the December holiday shopping period.
Shipping and Handling Cost, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	v) *Shipping and Handling* -

	Shipping and handling costs associated with inbound freight are capitalized to inventories and relieved through cost of sales as inventories are sold. Shipping and handling costs associated with the delivery of products are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Shipping and handling costs included in selling, general and administrative expenses amounted to $3.0 million, $2.8 million and $2.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
