Gorgeous skin care takes work.
And more people than ever are willing to pay for that work — the U.S. Department of Labor predicts the Skin Care field will grow much faster than average (9% or higher) over the next several years.
If you love helping people feel confident in their own skin, Esthetics is the career for you.
Estheticians use techniques and approaches ranging from the clinical to the luxurious, and you’ll find opportunities for work everywhere from dermatologist offices to Day spas. You’ll work with ever-evolving products that harness the latest in science to help people look and feel their best.
Our Skin Care course combines the science of Esthetics with the art of promoting relaxation. You’ll learn from instructors who have watched the field change and grow, and they’ll give you the tools you need to be ready for work the day you graduate.
