We have spent these last 40 years working hard to collaborate and foster relationships with many local and national spa and healthcare businesses that love to hire our graduates
We work with all of our students when they are nearing their graduation to help them determine their next steps and assist them in any way we can to help them find a position in the esthetics industry that is the right fit for them.
While the list of businesses our graduates work for is extensive, we have provided testimonials of a few of our graduates who continue to set the bar and excel in the industry. We look forward to adding your name to this list!
Job Opportunities
Many of our graduates have successful careers as spa technicians and wellness facility managers. In addition, there are many opportunities in product education and equipment sales, healthcare facility operations and training, and a variety of other industry-related job settings.
Business Owners
Our graduates also find success working for themselves by opening their own businesses. These businesses can be home-based workspaces or can be found in a variety of professional spa and healthcare settings where they rent a space to provide esthetics services. This option allows our graduates the utmost opportunity to create and control their own schedules and have flexibility in their work hours.
MASTERS ESTHETICS STUDENTS
"Teachers are super hands-on with the students"
“I chose to attend the Aesthetics Institute because of all the schools I researched and toured, this one just ‘clicked’ a bit more than the others. I liked that the teachers are super hands-on with the students and the class sizes are not too big, and coupled with their central location, it just made the most sense.
I am happy with the education I received at the Aesthetics Institute and recommend this school to anyone who is serious about starting their career in esthetics.”

"Overwhelmed by how kind and caring my instructors were"
“I chose to attend the Aesthetics Institute because they truly had the best reviews of any school I researched in the Pacific Northwest. I like that the school is family-owned and that they give everything a personal touch. I was not interested in attending a corporate chain school, as it was not the way I wanted my education to play out. I am not a number or a dollar sign.
It is easy to learn and ask questions at the Aesthetics Institute because the staff and instructors are so close and friendly with all of their students. Plus they basically had every machine I would need to practice on and plenty of them. If I was about to spend a good deal of both my time and money to attend school, I knew that I needed to go to the best. And I wanted one that offered the most hands-on learning and the most time spent in school with my peers and my instructors. This is why I chose the Aesthetics Institute.
I knew I would get an excellent education from attending this school, but I was honestly overwhelmed by how kind and caring my instructors were. This doesn’t just feel like a school, this feels like a family and while I am excited to start my career, I am also truly sad that my time here has come to an end.”

"The atmosphere as I walked around the school was phenomenal"
Advanced Esthetics Program Student Nicole
"Ready to start my business"
“My experience at the Aesthetics Institute was more than I could’ve imagined. I came in with little to no knowledge about lasers, IPL, and advanced aesthetics and left feeling like I can conquer the world. The staff and resources that I received here left me feeling so competent and ready to start my own business. The Aesthetics Institute is the ONLY place to go for Aesthetics.”

"I know I will be able to answer all of my client's questions"
“Wow, where to begin?
I am SO glad I chose the Aesthetics Institute for my education. I spent the majority of 2020 and part of 2021 enrolled in both the Master’s and the Advanced programs.
I feel confident that I can leave here and immediately launch my own business at the Oregon Coast. Even more importantly – I know I’ll be able to answer all my clients questions and can explain the science behind the services without stumbling.
Due to our small class sizes, we were able to ask as many questions as we needed, and got loads of hands on practice. Our instructors made sure we completely understood the WHY and the HOW behind each service. After all, if you don’t understand the science, how will you ever have confidence in the treatment room?
The Aesthetics Institute gives you that. And I’m grateful for all the time each instructor spent teaching me and being patient and personable while doing so.
At the Aesthetics Institute, you pay for an amazing education, real hands on experience, and the practical skills to move forward with your brand new career.
If you’re thinking about attending this school – stop comparing and just go here! Trust me. Give them a call, come take a tour with Ryan and meet Monique and the instructors. You’ll see what it’s all about. ”
