Do you want the power to make others feel beautiful and confident? With our Esthetics degree program, you will garner all the skills needed to empower others with proper skincare and facial health practices. The skin is the largest organ of the human body, which makes caring for it properly so vital to a person’s health and well-being.
As a certified Esthetician, you can become a Skin Care Therapist, Spa Technician, or Facial Specialist who helps in the cleaning, beautifying and maintaining of the skin and face. Often referred to as skin specialists, Estheticians give facials, full-body treatments, and head and neck massages to improve the health and appearance of the skin and may provide other skin care treatments, such as peels, masks, and scrubs.
