When you hear 鈥榚sthetician鈥, you may think of a skincare specialist, an eyebrow technician, or a makeup artist – but can an esthetician be all three?
The answer is yes, yes and yes! Estheticians can perform a wide range of beauty services, from facials and skin treatments, to eyelash and makeup application, to laser based treatments and hot stone therapy.
As a licensed esthetician, you decide which services you choose to learn, which certifications you pursue, and which 鈥榥iche鈥 market (if any) you decide to focus on. For example, if you want to specialize in skin treatments, you won鈥檛 necessarily spend your time learning how to apply eyelash extensions.
You decide where you focus your education and training. You鈥檒l be qualified to pursue a career as a makeup artist, hair stylist, nail technician, eyebrow technician, skincare specialist or salon owner.
If you want to continue your education to become a medical esthetician, that鈥檚 an option too! While there鈥檚 not a separate license for medical estheticians, you will need to undergo special training in the medical procedures you want to perform.
