What is beauty school?

Esthetician school is often referred to as beauty school. It is the study of facial science and skincare. The scope of work for an esthetician consists of facials, massages, waxing, applying make-up, and skin peels and masks. Do you enjoy helping others to feel beautiful, confident, and healthy? Are you looking for a way to turn your passion for helping people into a career that is lucrative and enjoyable? If so look further into esthetics programs and training and schedule a tour with us.

Receiving a certificate in esthiology requires 600 hours of approved training in specialized esthiology courses. Although Michigan only requires students to have 400 hours, we added more extensive training to ensure you can use your license in any state upon graduation. Due to the amount of training we have a pass rate of 100% for the state exam. Even if you plan to stay in town, the additional coursework and demonstration time will help to build your confidence as well as your clients' confidence in you.
