The Application Process

For nearly 40 years, the Aesthetics Institute has made the commitment to teach highly personalized, hands-on esthetics training. We ensure each student receives the highest level of individualized instruction by limiting the number of students we enroll for each class.
The maximum number of students we admit is 14 per start date. This policy ensures we can continue to offer an unparalleled level of esthetics education and allows each student to have ample one-on-one time with our instructors.
