The Esthetics Technology program provides competency-based knowledge, scientific/artistic principles and hands-on fundamentals associated with the art of skin care. It provides a simulated salon environment that enables students to develop manipulative skills.

Course work includes instruction in all phases of professional esthetics technology, business/human relations, product knowledge and other related topics.

Graduates should be prepared to take the North Carolina State Board of Cosmetic Arts Licensing Exam. Upon passing, they may be licensed and qualify for employment in beauty and cosmetic/skin care salons, as a platform artist or in related businesses.
