Six hundred hours. About six months.
That is the shape of our Esthiology program. On the other side of it is a New Mexico esthetician license, real skin science you will use every day, and a career that fits in salons, resort spas, brow and lash studios and independent practice.
Our new post walks through the whole picture, start to finish: what the program asks of you and what you carry out at the end.
Next cohort starts September 16.
Enrollment closes September 2.

Grant. Loan. Award letter. Cost of attendance.

If the financial aid vocabulary makes your eyes glaze over, you are not alone, and you are not behind. It is confusing language for something that comes down to a simple question: what does this cost me, and when.

We wrote a plain-English breakdown of how financial aid works for beauty school, what the difference between a grant and a loan actually means for your budget, and what to ask before you sign anything.

Financial aid may be available to those who qualify. Our FAFSA school code is 041745.
