Academic Programs

Overview

Students will receive theory as well as practical experience in skin care through classroom study, demonstrations and clinical experience.  Some areas of study include safety and disinfection control, customer service, and job seeking skills.  Students will also develop the skills necessary to perform facials, facial massage, consultation, analysis and microdermabrasion.  Upon successful completion of quota and hour requirements mandated by the Minnesota Board of Cosmetologists Examiners, students must take a skills certification and written exam for licensure. Esthetics is one of the fastest growing areas in the beauty industry.
