About this Major

Estheticians must be able to perform detailed work with their hands and eyes. The work environment can be fast-paced, so self-motivation and strong time-management skills are important. Successful estheticians learn how to communicate in a professional manner and establish a rapport with clients and colleagues to maintain high standards for quality and customer service.

Students who complete the Esthetician major qualify to take the State Board of Cosmetology and Barbering exam for licensing. Facial care is one of the fastest-growing industries in the beauty profession with new products and techniques being introduced to customers in the finest salons. The Esthetician major will prepare you for a career in this fast-growing field.
