Envision Yourself as a Student in Our Esthetics Program

Our 750-hour esthetics program is an excellent stepping stone into the world of skincare. You can grow your skills under the guidance of instructors with years of experience. Our sequential lessons are presented through a variety of learning methods, such as classroom lectures, guest presentations, student participation, audio-visual aids, field trips, and online learning. The equipment and products used at our esthetics school are comparable to what is found in a professional spa. We prepare students to sit for the State exams, and we teach skills that could help you find employment after graduation.

Giving others the gift of self-confidence can be one of the most rewarding things about a career in esthetics. Learning the skills and techniques that make people feel healthy and glowing is both an art and a science. It comes through knowing more about skincare and knowing how to improve skin safely and effectively. It also comes through practice, which can be accomplished in our student spa area under the direct supervision of licensed instructors.

The young lady who cut and thinned my hair made my hair feel so amazing! Her advisor also, coached her in a way that made me feel confident in the student. I liked the massage school, but the teacher left, causing some chaos. Hoping they can figure out how to hold their schedule. Didn't appreciate paying for an hour when I only got a 35 minute massage last time.

As a student I have had so much fun learning a new trade here! My instructor Carolina was amazing and I am sad to be done with school! She has taught me more then just a trade, but gave me the confidence to try something I couldn't imagine doing! Thank you to all the instructors who put up with us everyday and devoted thier time to our careers!
