The Esthetics curriculum is broken into four components: basic training, scientific concepts, practices and procedures, and business practices. Estheticians are trained in the treatment and care of skin for both health and appearance. They perform a wide variety of tasks on various parts of the body. They give facials, body treatments, pedicures and manicures. They also remove unwanted hair from the body. Areas of study include the history of skin care, personal hygiene and public health, professional ethics, sterilization and sanitation, introduction to analysis and skin care and facial treatments. Students are required to furnish their own transportation to the training schools, buy uniforms, shoes, cosmetology kit, and pay the required registration and lab fees. A mandatory meeting is required to participate in the program.
