Masters Esthetics vs. Advanced Esthetics

At our school, our beginner-level general esthetics course is called Masters Esthetics.

It has this name because you learn far more than what is required for Oregon’s general esthetics license. When you complete this course, you can test with the state of Oregon and receive your general esthetics license.

Masters Esthetics

The most significant point of confusion lies in the fact that our general, beginner-level esthetics course at our school is called “Masters Esthetics.”

Our course has maintained this name for more than 30 years, far before Oregon and Washington had multiple tiers of esthetics training.

You can apply and attend our Advanced Esthetics course when you have your current Oregon general esthetics license. When you complete our Advanced Esthetics course, you can again test with the state of Oregon to receive your Advanced Esthetics certificate.

Advanced Esthetics Requirements

No matter where you receive your general esthetics course training, you must have a current Oregon general esthetics license to attend an Oregon Advanced Esthetics course.

When you complete the Advanced Esthetics course at our school and then test with the state of Oregon and receive your advanced esthetics certificate, you can apply for reciprocity for the Masters Esthetics license from the state of Washington.

Complete In Full

It is also important to note that at our school, both our Masters Esthetics and Advanced Esthetics courses must be completed in full.

There is no option to take just specific sections or parts of each course curriculum to learn a particular skill or modality. They are both comprehensive courses that are designed to meet and exceed all of Oregon’s esthetics licensure requirements.
