Are you a beauty professional expanding your skill set or are you new to the beauty industry? You may be interested to hear that our students have very different backgrounds! Some of our students are just getting started without any beauty experience while others are here to take advanced courses to grow their careers or businesses. Here are some of our common student categories:
If you are already a beauty professional, you may be considering upgrading your service menu by learning a new skill. Although the beauty industry is growing at a rate faster than ever before, licensed estheticians who already have been in the business for a few years may be looking for ways to stay relevant by either attracting new clients or offering new services to their loyal clients.
Like most career streams, relevance and staying on the leading edge is a close second to experience in terms of value. This means that although your experience in the field is invaluable, you will only have career growth and stay competitive if you keep on learning. While loyal customers may still go to their favourite esthetician for basic services, they will also source their advanced treatments from other providers who offer them. If you’re not keeping up, where will they go?
One way to keep your business on the leading edge is by regularly refreshing your service menu to keep up with consumer demand. We see many licensed estheticians enjoy exciting new skill upgrades by becoming laser technicians or branching into medical esthetics. For those seeking courses rather than full programs, taking a dermaplaning, BB Glow, or microneedling course allows them to provide an in-demand service that generates a noticeable boost in revenue.
Not a Licensed Esthetician?
Did you know that you can enjoy a rewarding career in beauty without being a licensed esthetician? In fact, we teach a long list of courses that require no pre-requisites. For courses that fall under the regulated trade or specific legislation, we'll inform you of the documentation required to practice the service legally, whether that's an exemption permit or a body modification permit, so you can practice with ease of mind. For many of our courses that do require previous knowledge, we teach those foundational courses right here! This means that you can keep on building your skill set and offering new services as you learn them. Some of our students are able to open a beauty business or start a new career right after graduating from their first course, and many return to take new courses and build their service menu as they grow.
Specialize in Skin Care
Once you have taken Fundamental Skin Care, you can build on this knowledge and take individual skin courses such as dermaplaning. The prerequisite for the dermaplaning course (for non-estheticians) is Fundamental Skin Care. If you immediately want to move on to Advanced Skin Care, we recommend taking our Clinical Skin Care Program which combines both Advanced and Fundamental courses, and teaches all the foundational knowledge you’ll need to specialize in skin care, including chemical peels and dermaplaning.
Lashes and Brows
A Word from the Expert
We asked Jenna what to look for when choosing courses to take for the first time. “You want to pick a service that has a high re-booking rate, something that people keep coming back for regularly.” Her current top picks for services that are regularly re-booked are skin care and lashes. “Because of their popularity and ‘re-bookability’, all the skin services learned in Clinical Skin Care or the skills of the Lash Technician Program are perfect for getting started.”
Once you have built a client base, you then have trusting guests that are more likely to invest and book more expensive services that you can learn and upgrade to such as semi-permanent makeup or microblading. These revenue boosters are perfect for expanding into once you have a steady set of clients. “Of course,” Jenna notes, “Cosmetic Teeth Whitening is one of those services that also gives a great return per service.”
Cosmetic Teeth Whitening
The rising demand for cosmetic teeth whitening paired with an unbeatable return on investment has made this a very popular course. This holds true for everyone who takes this course and offers this service:
