Applying For Financial Aid Is Now Available For Esthetics:

Our fully accredited 12-week program is designed for efficiency and effectiveness, focusing on the essential 450 hours required by South Carolina, rather than the extended 600-hour programs commonly found elsewhere.

This highly sought-after course has been met with overwhelming enthusiasm, with graduates praising the swift, 3-month duration. Due to its popularity, spots fill up quickly, so don’t miss your chance to enroll in one of the most streamlined esthetics programs available.

For those considering a broader scope in the beauty industry, our cosmetology program offers a comprehensive approach. You’ll gain proficiency in all three licenses – esthetics, hair, and nails. This is an excellent path if you’re even slightly interested in hair and nails, or if you aspire to manage your own beauty business. Understanding the full spectrum of services is invaluable, both for guiding your team and for expanding your career opportunities in this ever-evolving industry. However, if your passion lies solely in esthetics, our program is perfectly tailored to your needs.
