Esthetics

Starting August 2024, the Esthetics Program will also be offered on the Danforth Campus.

Join a growing industry within the beauty profession by becoming a licensed esthetician.

Due to an extensive waitlist, this program is currently not accepting ADULT applications at the Danforth, Rockwell and Reno Campus for any evening or daytime offerings (AM, PM, or Fulltime). If you would like to be contacted when this application re-opens for adults, please complete this form OR check back to our website at a later date.

Facial care is one of the fastest-growing specialties within the beauty profession, with the development of new products and techniques. Specialists in this area can find work in some of the finest salons offering the latest in facial-care technology and products.

Students in this program are exposed to that new technology, as well as the best techniques for esthetics by instructors with professional experience. Students learn facial massage; characteristics and function of the skin; electrical, chemical, and light therapy; facial machine techniques; and skin analysis.

Upon completion, students qualify to take the State Board of Cosmetology and Barbering exam for licensing as an esthetician. Already licensed estheticians can take our Master Educator course and help contribute to this fast-growing field.
