What to Expect From Esthetician School

esthetician school training what to expectEsthetician school is a popular choice for those considering a career in beauty. It is not difficult to see why someone would want to join the industry. The beauty industry is one of the most glamorous out there, and working directly with clients to enhance their beauty can be incredibly rewarding. Are you considering going to esthetician school? Read on to find out more.

Who Goes to Esthetician School?

Esthetician schools, also known as aesthetics schools, are institutions that prepare students to become highly skilled, licensed beauty professionals. Each state has its own rules and regulations regarding esthetician schools. All good esthetician schools, however, should teach students about:

  • Anatomy
  • Facial science
  • Safety and sanitation
  • Salon management
  • Skin sciences
Students may also learn about things like marketing and customer service skills. Did you notice that the above list did not involve learning how to do hair and makeup? This is because aesthetician schools are not cosmetology schools.

Some cosmetologists may be general aestheticians, but most aestheticians are not cosmetologists. Cosmetologists can perform general beauty services (such as hair, makeup, nails, et cetera). Aestheticians, on the other hand, are skincare specialists.

What Are My Prospects After Esthetician School?

Once you have completed esthetician school, you may work in a variety of different settings. More commercial settings involve salons and spas, while more clinical settings involve plastic surgeons’ offices. Those who are more skilled, established, and experienced may also choose to open up private practices.

It is important to remember, however, that estheticians can only work with the superficial layers of the skin. In other words, they cannot conduct any cosmetic laser treatments or administer any cosmetic injectables. For this reason, many estheticians often choose to “upskill” by taking courses in medical esthetics.
