The Esthetics Program
Learn the science of healthy skin.
We train you hands-on in classical professional techniques and skincare innovations and technologies—plus the business skills you’ll need.
From skin analysis, ingredient technology and prescriptive retailing to waxing and makeup techniques, our program offers preparation for a career as a skincare therapist.

Our Program Levels
A 180-hour orientation, known as Phase 1, instills the basic fundamentals. Students are graded and evaluated using written, oral, and practical testing methods.
Students must successfully complete the Phase 1 curriculum prior to advancing to the next phase. Students are graded and evaluated using written, oral, and practical testing methods.
Your experience in Phase 2 produces a smooth transition from Phase 1 to Final Phase.
You spend 60 hours in Phase 2 preparing you for the clinic classroom experience.
From 240 to 600 hours, you will be in the Final Phase of your program. While exploring advanced esthetics services there is opportunity to build skills and gain knowledge of new advancements in the salon world.
During this segment you will participate in the Final Phase program. This program focuses on post-graduate needs, such as passing your State Exam, salon business, seeking employment, resumes and cover letters, and career options.
Student Kit
One of the most exciting days for our students is the day they get to unwrap their very own professional kit. It’s packed with all the essentials—a makeup kit with brushes, professional cleansers, moisturizers, exfoliators, and much more—so you’re ready to succeed in school and launch your dream career.
IPAD Included
When you have the latest technology and resources at your fingertips, you’ll be more successful in school and in your career. That’s why every student at Michael’s School of Hair Design and Esthetics receives an iPad with their student kit
