about the program

Esthetician Student Performs Facial Treatment on Client at Emily's Spa in Denver, CO

In our Esthetician program, you will learn how to analyze a client’s skin, discuss treatments, apply makeup, and recommend skincare products. Plus, you’ll learn advanced methods that many other skincare programs don’t teach in their introductory courses, including microdermabrasion and chemical peels.

Plus, you’ll get the chance to practice and gain real-world experience working with clients on-site at Emily’s Spa.
