What
is Esthetics?
Esthetics is a specialty section of education taken from Cosmetology,
which deals specifically with more training. Specifically, the health
and beautification of the skin, both face and body. 
What is the difference between a Cosmetologist and an Esthetician?
A cosmetologist is a hair care specialist, who has minimal training
on skin care. An esthetician is a skin care therapist who has special
training in the study and care of the skin.
What job opportunities will I have with an Esthetic License?
With your license you can go into many different areas within the field
of esthetics such as: medical esthetician, make-up artist, cosmetics
buyer, cosmetic researcher, beauty editor, instructor of esthetics,
etc. We will discuss the different avenues you might consider in the
program. This will assist you in finding an area that appeals to your
interest with skin care.
Do you help students find employment? We will assist you in finding
a position; however finding a job is not a guarantee. The student's
level of professionalism will better the odds of getting the position.
What kind of employment success have graduates had? We have a
92% placement ratio.
Can I sit in on a class? We will schedule an appointment that
allows a prospective student the opportunity to attend a current class
for one full hour. This will give you a better view of the classroom
setting.
What is the average class size? The average sizes of our classes
are 6 - 10 students per class, with a maximum of 20 students.
When do you begin practical (hands on) training vs. lecture?
We incorporate both practical as well as lecture from the very first
day of class. Approximately, the last 250 ending hours of the course
is a concentration of practical study to prepare you for the esthetics
industry.
What percentages of students pass the test? Our current pass
rate for the State board exam, both written and practical is 98%. This
pass rate is due to our commitment in grooming you for success.
Do you teach essential oils and aromatherapy? The course does
have a basic overview of aromatherapy and essential oils. We do at times
offer advanced classes in those two topics, so keep in contact and ask
to be places on our mailing list for advanced classes.
Do you teach other advanced course? We teach many current and
hot industry advanced topics such as microdermabrasion, bridal make-up,
airbrush make-up, laser hair removal and skin treatments, and master-esthetics….
plus topics that you can see listed on our program directory.
Do you teach body treatments? Yes, it is part of Master Curriculum
Do you teach advanced massage? No, that is not apart of our
esthetics program, only skin care massage. We do offer separate massage
classes.
Can I pick and choose when I want to attend class? Absolutely
not, once you enroll for a course you are to attend the scheduled program.
We want to track your progress to maximize your education and have you
act in a professional manner. You will be informed of your start and
ending dates for the class you enroll for. In some special occasions
we have flexible time to discuss.
If I was working in the industry and wanted to come back to "freshen
up" would I be welcome? We always discount courses as well as products
for our students and graduates. The door is always open for your needs
and concerns we just ask you call beforehand so we can set an appointment
to better assist you.
How do the courses both full time and part time work? Full time
is during the week, Monday-Friday 9:45am-4:30pm, it takes 17 weeks to
complete give or take holiday and school closings. Part time is Monday-Thursday
6:00pm-10:00pm and alternating Saturdays 10:00am-4:00pm also give or
take scheduled school closings. We don't offer weekend class due to
the reservations of advanced classes.
Do you have outside speakers come in to teach? Do you teach the
business aspect? Yes, we have guest lecturers come in to speak with
and train our students. We spend an entire Module on business practices
and job skills.
Do you use any other products besides Dermalogica? If not, can
I bring other products in? In addition to Dermalogica we use our own
Esthetic Institute products. We import various other products to keep
you abreast and knowledgeable of the leading products in the industry
today.
Do you go on tours? If so, I work during the day does that mean
I'd miss out on that? Yes the school participates in the Spa and Resort
Expo and Beauty Shows related to our field and they are mostly held
during the day although they sometimes do not end until 7pm.
Will I get the same teachers that teach the day classes? There
are different teachers for the day and for the night, however teachers
do substitute for one another and you might get to experience a teacher
from the day if you're a night student or the night if you're a day
student.
What kind of payment plans do you offer? Do you accept government
grants? It's best to speak with one of our administrators about
the different financial aid programs which may be available to you.
They'll be glad to assist you.
