What's the role on an Aesthetician?

What is an esthetician? 

An esthetician is a professional skin specialist, trained to assess and enhance the skin through various treatments and services. For example, Christine, certified esthetician at Dermstore Spa & Salon, explains that in the state of California where she works, estheticians are held to very high standards. A certified (licensed) esthetician in the state will have completed 600 hours of training, a state-approved course/test and a State Board Exam with written and practical components. Requirements vary by state, and you can see what your state requires at Estheticianedu.org if you’re curious.

During their training, estheticians learn about how to care for and improve the skin through a comprehensive course load. According to EstheticianEDU, classes typically cover the following topics: reflexology, cosmetic sciences, human anatomy and physiology, safety and sanitation, hair removal, skin conditions and disorders and more.

Estheticians are licensed in skin care and in makeup. They are trained in a variety of treatments, such as:

• Facials for different skin types and skin conditions
• Hair removal
• Body wraps
• Exfoliating treatments
• Skin care consultations
• Makeup
• Eyebrow shaping
• Eyelash and eyebrow tinting
• Microdermabrasion
