What Does it Take to Become an Esthetician

Being a licensed esthetician is a rewarding career for those that love to work with people, heal others, and educate their clients on healthy skin care techniques. What does it take to become an esthetician though?

Some of the top skills that make for a great esthetician are problem solving, communication, precision, and staying on top of trends and education. To qualify for an Esthetics License, you must attend a licensed school and complete the state’s minimum required training hours and then take and pass the state's Esthetic board exams. Depending on consistent attendance, it only takes 26 scheduled weeks to complete the 750 hour Advanced Esthetics program at Aveda Institute!

The Esthetics program at the Aveda Institute prepares you for a career as a skin care professional. Students with an Aveda Institute esthetician license are some of the most sought-after in the industry and are consistently above accreditor requirements upon graduation.

At the Aveda Institute esthetician school, we incorporate skin care, facials, body treatments, hair removal, makeup application, business development, wellness, and retail knowledge.
