What Is Esthetician School Like?

At COLLECTIV Academy we are passionate about training future estheticians to be ready for wherever their career takes them. While we want to make things fun, our focus is providing the skills licensed skincare professionals need to run a successful appointment with each guest. That’s why as part of our curriculum, you learn the theory behind each product and technique, and get the necessary practice in our student salon and spa, providing actual services under the supervision of our licensed and experienced instructors.

With an emphasis in business, you can also learn crucial social media marketing skills and build your own book of business as a licensed esthetician. Your esthetician school should actively work toward preparing you for your time after graduation, after all, you have your whole career ahead of you!

Professional Opportunities

While learning from bookwork can help build a foundation in the science behind skincare, we’ve found the real experience comes from those who’ve worked in the field! We bring in industry professionals to help give real insight into what it’s like to work in the skincare industry and help give you the tools you need for your future career. This means what you’re learning is up to date with the latest techniques.
