Advanced Esthetics Education in Northern Colorado

Your esthetics career starts with a solid foundation
--at The White Magnolia

Welcome to The White Magnolia

White Magnolia Advanced Skin Care Institute is located in Northern Colorado and provides in-person esthetics education for students seeking advanced, clinically grounded training. Under the guidance of experienced educators — led by our founder, a former NICU-nurse turned esthetics educator — you’ll receive training in a fully operational spa environment that mirrors the real world.
Whether your goal is medical esthetics, private-practice skincare, or building your own boutique business, we prepare you for long-term success. Because here, esthetics isn’t a hobby — it’s your career foundation.

Esthetics Course

Our esthetics program goes beyond basic techniques — we teach you to think like a skin-health professional. Because skincare isn’t one-size-fits-all, we use a whole-system framework: you learn not just protocols, but how to assess skin, lifestyle factors, inflammation, and healing capacity. You’ll gain clinical reasoning, decision-making skills, and treatment planning acumen — the core of responsible, effective esthetics.

We deliver this education in a fully functioning spa, where each day blends theory with real client work, supervised spa operations, infection-control protocols, retail awareness, and business strategy. These are the real-world competencies employers and clients demand — competencies most schools overlook.

Recognizing each student’s journey is unique, we offer individualized instruction tailored to strengths and growth areas. That ensures you don’t just graduate, you graduate ready: with professional composure, technical competence, and the confidence to succeed.

If you want training that exceeds the minimum — training that builds true professional readiness for the treatment room and beyond — The White Magnolia is your foundation.

Professional Spa Experience

Private rooms and elevated products are our standard.

In addition to comprehensive training in facials, waxing, makeup, infection control, state law, professional standards, business fundamentals, and the core skills required for licensure, our program also includes eyelash extensions at no additional cost.

Colorado law is very clear: advanced services such as microdermabrasion and chemical peels cannot be taught until you are a licensed esthetician. Because we operate with full transparency and integrity, we offer these modalities only after licensure—and our graduates receive exclusive pricing when they choose to continue their education with us.

We also recognize that medical esthetic services require proper delegation from a medical director. For this reason, we do not offer medical-level training. We do not believe in charging students for courses they legally cannot perform or use until they are employed in the appropriate clinical setting. Our priority is ensuring that your investment is both ethical and practical, and that you pursue advanced education at the right time, under the right supervision, with the right foundation already in place.

Individual Certificates

For those ready to expand their scope after licensure, Colorado requires additional certifications to perform microdermabrasion, dermaplaning, and chemical peels. We provide this advanced education through our highly regarded Exfoliation Extravaganza—a five-day intensive designed to build mastery, confidence, and true clinical readiness through extensive hands-on work with real clients.

These classes are open to all licensed estheticians.
As an added benefit, our graduates receive 50% off when they complete these certifications within three months of graduation. This ensures you continue building your skillset at the right time, with the right foundation, and in an environment that prioritizes safety, competence, and professional growth.

What's the White Magnolia Difference?

At White Magnolia, esthetics is not a side offering — it’s our sole focus. As Northern Colorado’s longest-standing esthetics-only institute, we deliver a depth of expertise and clarity of purpose that few can match.

Our students don’t just pass the licensing exam — they emerge as prepared, composed, and fully capable professionals. With a perfect exam pass rate, we don’t teach to the test — we teach for real-world performance. Every student receives individual mentorship and guidance tailored to their unique strengths, challenges, and ambitions.

In a region where licenses — not national certificates — determine legal practice, our training prioritizes clinical competence, infection-control literacy, professional judgment, and real-client readiness over extraneous certifications.

When you graduate from White Magnolia, you’re not just certified — you’re ready. Ready to step into a treatment room, walk with confidence, and build a career grounded in knowledge, skill, and integrity.

Build Your business

The marketing and mentoring done by The Institute to obtain clients for and with the students offers the students an opportunity to build a book of potential clients to continue with after licensing.

Professional spa experience

Training inside a thriving, professional spa gives students a truly authentic learning experience. Here, service standards, client interactions, safety protocols, and professional expectations are part of everyday life. This environment develops technical skill, customer service, sales awareness, and confidence—far beyond what a classroom alone can offer.

Professional Standards

Cindy Tusa’s experience as a Nursing Educator in a Critical Care Unit means her students will be held to the same standards as an RN would be when it comes to safety and skill. Critical thinking will be fostered on a daily basis.
