Averie Hough, Masters Graduate

At our school, we are asked every day about what kinds of jobs our graduates are hired for when they first start out in the esthetics industry. And our answer is always, “All kinds of jobs in all kinds of settings!” 

With over 2000 graduates from our school over the last 40 years, we continue to see our students grow and excel professionally in the beauty industry!

We will never be able to list every possible type of job you can pursue as a Licensed Esthetician or a Certified Advanced Esthetician, but we have done our best to compile a list of career options and job possibilities that we see many of our students pursue upon graduation.

The world of beauty and esthetics is vast and worldwide, and we continue to be amazed and excited as opportunities change and grow as more and more people discover the benefits of esthetics and taking care of their skin. 

We wish you the best of luck in your career, and remember, the only limits in this industry are the ones you put on yourself! 

Are you ready to become an Esthetician?

A career in esthetics can be fast-paced and challenging but also very rewarding. 

The Aesthetics Institute has been offering esthetics training since 1985 and is leading the way for our graduates to become top practitioners and leaders in the beauty industry.

If a career in esthetics interests you, we invite you to our campus for a tour and admissions counseling session. We will answer all your questions and discuss any concerns you may have with pursuing your esthetics education.
