Description: Esthetics Technology is the study of the skin and its associated structures, skin diseases and disorders. It includes the related services of facials, make-up, temporary hair removal, arching, lash and brow tints, and artificial lash application.
Format: Students progress through the course in four levels: freshman, sophomore, junior and senior. To progress from one level to the next, students must complete the required hours, self-study workbook, required operations, written evaluations and practical evaluations for each level. For the practical evaluations, students are required to bring in models. Students are also required to maintain progress records throughout the course.
Freshman level is three weeks and is spent in a classroom setting where students learn the basics in esthetics technology and practice on each other and models. Students are given written and practical evaluations at the end of each week.
After successful completion of the 3 weeks of freshman classes, students are assigned to the clinic floor to begin practice of practical skills and customer service skills. Once assigned to the clinic, students attend classes each week. Each level of the course has a set of required classes which must be made-up by the student if missed. Before a student may advance to the next level of the course, he or she must complete a minimum of 75% of the required classes for the current level.
In addition to the advanced classes, students also attend a morning theory and state board review class in preparation for written exams and for the state licensing exam.
