Why to Pursue Esthiology in Your Gap Year

A Gap Year from college is becoming increasingly more popular, and for good reason. Your Gap Year can be used to explore the world, meet new people and learn new things. Why not combine meeting new people and learning new things while you spend your gap year at Aveda Institute!

The Esthetics program at the Aveda Institute prepares you for a career as a skin care professional. Esthiology is the cosmetic practice of caring for one’s skin. Included are facials, makeup, skin treatment, and hair removal.

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

The job market for Estheticians is expected to grow by 14% by 2024. With new job opportunities popping up all the time, the need for estheticians is not dying out any time soon. With an esthetician license from Aveda Institute, you can pursue career opportunities in a Day spa, Salon spa, Retreat center, International resort, cosmetic counter, as an educator, or even own your own business!

Contact a representative at Aveda Institute today to learn how to kick start your future in the beauty industry.
