AESTHETICS INSTITUTE
Commitment to Inclusion
Our commitment to excellence includes our dedication to making every person who walks through our doors feel welcome and excited to learn in a positive environment with zero tolerance for unkindness or harsh instruction.
The Aesthetics Institute is a second-generation, family-owned cosmetology school providing high quality esthetics education in Portland, Oregon since 1985. Over the past 40 years, we have built the reputation of offering the highest quality esthetics education you can receive in the Pacific Northwest.
The esthetics industry, much like the world, is a diverse place that brings together people from a variety of interests, passions, and walks of life. We recognize and celebrate that it is these differences that make our industry and school the amazing and high-energy place it is today.
" I knew I would get an excellent education from attending this school, but I was honestly overwhelmed by how kind and caring my instructors were. This doesn't just feel like a school, this feels like a family, and while I am excited to start my career, I am also truly sad that my time here has come to an end."

"You Are Valued Here"
We are committed to ensuring all people at our school feel included, valued, and heard. We do this through our commitment to building a “Culture of Inquiry” at our school.
The Culture of Inquiry at the Aesthetics Institute strives to make students feel empowered to take charge of their own learning and to always feel comfortable to ask questions without fear of judgement, shame, or reprimand from our instructors and from their fellow students.
We believe life to be too short to allow others to feel excluded or inferior and we understand that we all want to feel welcomed, valued, and included in a community.
We strive every day to be that community for our students, staff, and clients. We hope you will join us.
