Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

Appointment of Independent Director

(d) On June 10, 2009, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Steiner Leisure Limited (the "Company"), based upon the recommendation of the Board's Governance and Nominating Committee, appointed Denise Dickins to serve as a Class II director of the Company until the 2010 annual meeting of shareholders. Ms. Dickins was appointed to fill the vacancy on the Board caused by the October 28, 2008 resignation from the Board of Charles D. Finkelstein.

The Board has determined that Ms. Dickins qualifies as an independent director of the Company pursuant to the applicable rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market ( the "Nasdaq Rules") and that she is a "financial expert" pursuant to applicable Nasdaq Rules and rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Ms. Dickins was also appointed to serve on the Board's Audit, Compensation and Governance and Nominating Committees.

As a result of Ms. Dickins' appointment to the Board, the Board again consists of a majority of directors who are considered independent under applicable Nasdaq Rules.

Ms. Dickins will receive compensation for serving on the Board on the same terms as the other independent directors of the Company, as most recently disclosed in the Company's proxy statement for its 2009 annual meeting of shareholders.

Ms. Dickins has been an Assistant Professor of Accounting and Auditing for East Carolina University since 2006. She was an instructor of various accounting courses at Florida Atlantic University from 2002 to 2006. From 1983 to 2002, Ms. Dickins was with Arthur Andersen LLP, where she served in various capacities, including Partner in Charge of the South Florida Audit Division. From 1996 until 2002, Ms. Dickins served as the partner in charge of the audit of the Company. She currently serves on the board of directors of TradeStation Group, Inc., an online brokerage firm, and Watsco, Inc., an independent distributor of heating, air conditioning and refrigeration products.

Shareholder Approval of 2009 Incentive Plan

(e) On June 10, 2009, the shareholders of the Company approved the adoption of the Company's 2009 Incentive Plan (the "2009 Plan"). The 2009 Plan allows the Company to award share options, share appreciation rights and shares (including restricted shares, restricted share units and performance shares) and cash performance awards.
