From Facials to Lash Lifts: What You’ll Learn in Esthetics School

If you love skincare, enjoy connecting with people, and want a career that blends creativity with wellness, Esthetics could be the path you’ve been looking for.

At Paul Mitchell The School Las Vegas, our Esthetics Program is a hands-on, well-rounded training experience that helps you develop the skills and confidence to pursue licensure and explore a future in the skincare and beauty industry. Whether you’re new to beauty or switching careers, we’ll walk you through what esthetics is, what you’ll learn, and what makes this program unique.

So… What Is Esthetics, Anyway?

Esthetics is the study and practice of professional skincare. Licensed estheticians offer services that improve skin health, support client confidence, and create moments of self-care and relaxation.

In our program, you’ll be trained in a wide range of services — from the techniques guests request most to the technologies shaping the future of skincare.

Skin Treatments

You’ll learn how to analyze skin, design personalized treatments, and perform services like facials, chemical exfoliation peels, lymphatic drainage massage, aromatherapy, hot stone applications, and safe extractions.

Hair Removal & Brows

Refine your skills in facial and body waxing, while learning high-demand services like brow design, tinting, and lamination.

Lash & Makeup Services

Develop techniques in lash extensions, lash tinting, and application methods — along with the makeup fundamentals that enhance natural features for everyday and event-ready looks.

Advanced Technologies

Get an introduction to advanced tools such as dermaplaning, LED light therapy, microcurrent lifting, and electrical modalities approved for use in Nevada skincare clinics.

Ingredient & Product Education

Learn how professional ingredients work on the skin, how to read product labels, and how to recommend effective homecare routines for every client.

Sanitation & Safety Standards

We’ll guide you through proper infection control, safety practices, and Nevada state laws — all with the goal of helping you prepare for your board exam and deliver services with confidence and care.

What You’ll Learn (Hint: Way More Than Just Facials)

At Paul Mitchell The School Las Vegas, your education goes beyond technique. You’ll have the opportunity to develop real-world skills in a supportive and professional learning environment.

You’ll gain experience in:

• Conducting skin consultations
• Building treatment plans based on client goals
• Practicing safe and sanitary services
• Creating strong client relationships
• Managing time, booking, and guest service
• Using social media and branding tools to grow your presence

Esthetics students (we call them Future Professionals) work on real guests in our clinic classroom and learn from licensed instructors who are passionate about both education and skincare.

Is This Program Your Vibe? Let’s Find Out.

You don’t need to be a skincare expert to get started. In fact, many of our students come from diverse backgrounds — including retail, healthcare, art, or just a passion for beauty.

Our Esthetics Program might be a great option if you:

• Want a hands-on, creative career
• Are curious about skincare and wellness

• Are excited about possibly building your own brand or studio someday

Our program meets you where you are and offers you tools to explore where you want to go.

Where Can Esthetics Take You?

After completing the program and passing your Nevada state board exam, you’ll be eligible to pursue licensure and begin working as an entry-level esthetician.

While every student’s journey is different, here are a few possible paths:

• Spa or resort esthetician
• Waxing or lash specialist
• Makeup artist or bridal stylist
• Beauty content creator
• Product educator or skincare brand rep
• Freelance or studio esthetician
