600 Hour Advanced Esthetics Program Objectives
Skin care is an emerging field and there is a lot to learn with new concepts being
introduced on a regular basis. This is a combination course teaching esthetics and
salon management. This course includes thorough training in theory, demonstration,
and practice in all aspects of facials and skin care.
Students begin as junior esthetician students. They can achieve senior status by
testing out of the junior portion after they earn approximately 50 hours. The student
will learn everything from the esthetician course plus advanced esthetics. The
advanced management portion of the course will consist of theory, practical and clinical
work. This combination course is designed to teach the full course material and allow each
student the opportunity to learn to learn the business side of the industry. They will learn
how to solve problems in the salon including diagnosing problems with skin and recommending remedies. The student will learn how to schedule appointments, take inventory, hire and train personnel, maintain fiancing, and how to run a salon floor.
This certificate qualifies the student to take the state board test in Esthetics. Having completed this course a student will be able to work as a esthetician, beauty therapist, make-up artist, demonstrator, platform artist, or a manufacturers representative. Tests are primarily multiple choice to correspond with the State Board of Cosmetology exam, but will also include essay and fill in. We use the Milady Standard Fundamentals for Estheticians, Milady Standard Fundamentals for
Estheticians Workbook, Milady Standard Fundamentals for Estheticians Exam Review,
and in the management portion a management notebook with corresponding support
materials. Theory is taught through a combination of lecture, handouts, videos, workbooks
and reading. Practical is taught through demonstration, lecture and hands
on practice.
