Not all esthetician schools are created equal, I can say this from experience. Trying a few different schools, I realized they can be as different as night and day. If you are looking for a esthetician school, make sure you do your research. Don't settle for the first school that seems to have all the bells and whistles, find out about the instructor and their experience, find out the type of projects you will do. Why does this matter? It matters because the school experience is what is going to shape you into the professional esthetician you become.
Your instructor's background is very important. You want an instructor who has plenty of real world experience, not just an instructor who has an esthetics' certificate. You need someone who can tell you about their real stories. Someone who can tell you about their own mistakes and how to avoid those pitfalls; someone who can be a mentor.
Some of you students are probably grunting right about now that I even suggested a good program will have projects, but those projects make you get more involved in esthetics. It gives you a greater understanding of esthetics. Projects like "Pricing of Opening a Spa" or "Finding Material Safety Data Sheets" and writing reports on skin diseases are all ways instructors can help students understand the material beyond definitions. Remember, these definitions and terms do not come alive off the pages of your textbooks, they come to life when you begin to use them and the terms are automatic.
