Esthetics

While a portion of the Cosmetology program covers esthetics, the Career Center has added a separate Esthetics program for students interested in this specific type of training. Students will learn how to do facial treatments, makeup applications, hair removal services, as well as how to build and market an esthetician business. Students who complete 750 hours of training and pass the State Practical and Theory exam can become a licensed esthetician in just one year!

 

Estheticians are licensed in skin care treatment and services. As part of this program, students will gain knowledge in soft skills to help build a business and career, foundational skills that help keep estheticians and clients safe such as infection control, laws & rules in the industry, and how to maintain a professional image.

The curriculum will also cover chapters on anatomy, skin disorders & diseases, massage techniques, skin devices & treatments, proper make up applications, hair removal procedures, and even chemistry & electricity. Students will also prepare for State Board testing by practicing and studying for the State licensure exams together.

New for the 2026–27 school year! Licensed students may apply for one of eight competitive second-year co-op positions. To be considered, students must maintain at least an 80% GPA during their first year, miss no more than nine days and successfully complete an application and interview process.
