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.

Services, Skills, and Modalities included in Masters Esthetics:

All the skills and services listed are INCLUDED in our course at the advertised price. There are NEVER any additional add-ons, extra classes, or surprise fees.

The Aesthetics Institute provides additional certifications as well as the standard certifications required by the state of Oregon to become a licensed esthetician.

We include these certifications in our program at no additional cost because we know these are the skills that are most sought-after by employers. Highly trained and well-prepared estheticians are expected to know how to perform all of these services and skills confidently in our industry today.

These additional certifications include:

" 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."
