The amount of training and education estheticians need has long been up for debate. Many estheticians do little more than attend a “Beauty school” or a “Cosmetology school”, pass a minimal state examination, find a job in a salon, and memorize whatever product line carried there.

This level of knowledge is sufficient to meet some salon owners’ goals: If the esthetician uses only those products, she or he may become proficient at selling them. Many skin care lines cater to this philosophy, offering prepackaged products for four or five different types of skin. Sales are the bottom line, with actual skin treatments secondary to skin care goals of the client. No doubt, monetary gains are essential to continued success, but not at the expense of the client and their skin care needs! 

Fortunately, as the medical profession has embraced esthetics, the demand for solid, advanced esthetics education has skyrocketed. Today’s successful estheticians hold many qualifications beyond a simple certificate to practice, such as problem-solving abilities, knowledge of research methods and available resources, and an understanding of the methodology and science behind a procedure, product or piece of equipment. They have mastered the skill sets related to their focus of practice and can assume responsibility. 

Equally important is the knowledge of what an esthetician cannot do – all of the restrictions and limitations to their practice. An individual with a deep and thorough education from which to draw will know where to turn whatever the circumstance. 

Why is this model in such demand? The reasons are simple: A doctor trying to decide whom to hire is far more likely to choose the better trained candidate. Less time is involved training the new employee because most of the training is in place. Think of the lengths doctors must go to in order to practice – college, medical school, internships, and specialty programs; years of demanding education are part of their background. Naturally they will recognize, prefer, and trust a similar dedication to education.
