The Esthetics Program

Esthetician School - Austin, TX

Learn the science of healthy skin, facial treatments, skin exfoliation procedures, product selections, waxing techniques, eye treatments, lash extensions, and makeup techniques. Our esthetics program offers hands-on training in classical professional techniques and skincare innovations—plus the business skills you’ll need in a career as a skincare therapist.

Our Program Levels

LEVEL 1: CORE
LEVEL 2: ADAPTIVE
LEVEL 3: CREATIVE

LEVEL 1: CORE

In the Core phase of the skin program, the Future Professionals “learn the rules” and theory behind a results-oriented skin treatment and gain a thorough understanding of each step. They also learn the hair removal theory required to perform a successful service. Each day of the Core program builds upon the previous day’s learning. The Core phase includes live educator demonstrations and hands-on learning. The Future Professional is well prepared to move into the next phase of the program.

LEVEL 2: ADAPTIVE

The Adaptive phase of the skin program features more technical and service information that builds upon the Core knowledge. The Adaptive Future Professionals become oriented to the clinic classroom where the guest service experience occurs. They “apply the rules” and practice the technical procedures learned to accommodate the needs of the service guest. The Adaptive phase provides the structure to offer an extraordinary guest service and establish the necessary business skills to succeed.

LEVEL 3: CREATIVE

In the Creative phase of the skin program, the Future Professionals discover new industry information and trends. They are inspired to develop their craft by learning how to “expand the rules” and individualize the service to each service guest’s needs. The Future Professionals are motivated, directed, and coached to participate in peer teaching “objective-based education” for (as is reinforced) “the one who does the work does the learning.”
