Masters Esthetics Program
We teach more than four times as many services and skills as most other esthetics programs in Oregon because we want our graduates to be the most qualified, confident, and successful estheticians in the beauty industry.
This is what sets us apart from other schools and has made us a leader in esthetics in the pacific northwest since 1985.
We are a local, family-owned school that only focuses on skincare. We are not a big chain, and that allows us to provide individualized training and support to the students in our small, hands-on classes.
For nearly 40 years, this successful teaching model has produced more than 2000 graduates and we are not about to change it.

" Their comprehensive online curriculum was very good, but it was the hands-on learning that helped me gain the confidence that I have today.
I loved doing all the in-house esthetic services on my classmates and clients because every day I was at school, I was learning a little bit more, and I truly loved that."
