Thinking About Going To An Online Esthetician School?
Why consider an online esthetician school? Online study lets you pursue a beauty career from the convenience of home.
Esthetician schools, also called esthetics schools, prepare students to become licensed beauty professionals, and licensing rules vary by state.
Estheticians are skincare specialists who work on the skin, and our hybrid training model lets you study theory online and also get hands-on practice with the professionals.
What You Can Learn At Online Esthetician School?
Core topics at an esthetician school include:
- Anatomy
- Facial science
- Safety and sanitation
- Skin science
Theory can be learned online, but hands-on training is still required. Some schools also add customer service, marketing and salon management to their training.
It is important to note, esthetician schools do not teach students how to do hair, makeup and other general cosmetic treatments, which fall under cosmetologists.
Career Prospects
Estheticians can work in salons, spas and clinical settings such as plastic surgeons’ offices or even open a private practice.
Income Limits
Estheticians work only on the superficial layers of the skin, so they cannot perform cosmetic lasers or inject fillers which can limit income. As demand for non-invasive procedures grows, many estheticians decide later that it makes sense to upskill.
A popular option is to take online cosmetic laser training before esthetician school, which lets you work as a laser technician while you earn your esthetician license. These programs allow modern students to get the best of both worlds.
