Esthetician

If you are interested in becoming a professional esthetician, our one-year certificate program will prepare you for a career in skin care as an esthetician.

You will receive training in all phases of skin care, including the use of the most modern facial machines, temporary hair removal (including waxing) and various types of facial treatments. You will learn face, neck and hand massage techniques.

In addition, safety and sanitation measures are stressed throughout the program, and you will prepare you to take the Washington State Examination in esthetics. You will also gain real-world experience in our student-operated salon, Inspirations.
