Esthetics Course

Our esthetics program is designed to do far more than prepare you for licensure—it develops you into a practitioner who understands skin, thinks critically, communicates professionally, and makes safe, effective decisions with real clients. Skill alone doesn’t create a successful esthetician; clarity, confidence, and clinical reasoning do. Those elements are built intentionally throughout our curriculum.

Students train in a fully operating spa environment where expectations mirror the real industry. You’ll learn to conduct thorough consultations, evaluate skin and systemic influences, manage time effectively, uphold workplace safety and infection control standards, and navigate the professional dynamics of working with clients daily. By the time you graduate, you’ve already lived the rhythms of the career you’re stepping into.

We also teach the “why” behind everything you do—skin physiology, inflammation, barrier function, stress responses, ingredient interactions, and the decision-making process that guides safe treatment selection. This is the foundation missing from many programs, and it’s what allows our graduates to enter the field with true professional authority.

To support your long-term growth, every student receives lifetime access to The Integrative Esthetician, our signature advanced training program. This resource deepens your understanding of whole-system skin health, consultation strategy, and client assessment—skills that become increasingly valuable as your career evolves. As the program expands, you grow with it.

Our goal is not simply to teach you esthetics.
Our goal is to develop practitioners who are capable, thoughtful, sought-after, and prepared for a career—not just a job—in the beauty and wellness industry.

Here is a sample week of our schedule, but it varies!  We focus on hands-on practice, so if we need to pivot on a particular day, we definitely do that!!
