Before You Go To Esthetician School
  • By Anitra Brown

  • Being an esthetician - a skin care professional -
    can be a rewarding and lucrative way to make a
    living, but esthetician school is a big
    investment of time, energy and money. Here's how
    to find the best esthetician school and make sure
    it's the right career path for you.

3
Talk To Spa Directors About Esthetician Schools
  • Talk to other estheticians and ask them where
    they went to school and what their experience
    was. Call the owners or spa directors at spas
    where you would like to work and tell them that
    you're considering going to esthetician school.

4
Research the Realities of Being An Esthetician
  • Ask other estheticians in your area about the
    realities of the workplace market demand,
    starting salaries, stress levels, and what the
    best and worst parts of the job are. Ask them
    what school they went to, and their opinion of it.

5
Find Esthetician Schools In The State You Want To
Work.
  • Look for esthetician schools in the state where
    you want to work. This is very important becauase
    each state has its own licensing practices. The
    schools can give you more information on the
    licensing requirements in your state. Search for
    esthetician schools by state. Use this to find
    the schools nearest you.

6
Call The Esthetician School
  • Once you narrow down your list, call the school
    for an initial phone interview. Call them to get
    a candid assessment of the strengths and
    weaknesses of that school.

7
Visit The Esthetician School
  • Its also very important to make an on-site visit
    to the esthetician school. Talk to students while
    youre there and ask what they think. Some
    schools have an open house or free workshops so
    you can get a feel for skin care in general and
    the atmosphere at the school.

8
Talk To The Esthetician School's Graduates
  • Ask the school for names and phone numbers of
    graduates. Call them to get their opinion of the
    school, and ask about the job market, starting
    salaries and what its like in the real world.

9
Ask The Esthetician School Questions!
  • All esthetician schools teach you what you need
    to know to pass the state licensing exam. But ask
    about their philosophy.
  • Do they emphasize traditional European beauty
    therapies, or do they have a medical spa
    philosophy?
  • What kind of specialized equipment do they have?
  • How long have their teachers worked there and
    what is their background? What is their
    continuing education program?
  • Are there benefits for graduates, like discounts
    on products or continuing education classes?
