Current Courses Offered

Creating a Professional Presence as an Esthetician (2 CE Hours) – Virtual

Dates: October 7, November 12

In today’s digital age, your online presence can be just as important as your hands-on skills. This course teaches you how to strategically position yourself on Instagram to attract clients and stand out in the competitive beauty landscape.

Designed for professionals who want to enhance their digital footprint, this virtual course offers practical insights you can implement immediately to grow your esthetician business.

Dermaplaning (4 CE Hours) – In-Person

Date: Coming Soon!
Dermaplaning is a specialized exfoliation technique that removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hair, giving clients a smooth, glowing complexion. This treatment is not only popular for its immediate results, but it also serves as a foundation for other services, such as facials and chemical peels, by allowing deeper product penetration.

Each attendee will be provided a professional dermaplaning kit with essential tools, so you can start offering this service immediately.
