Introduction

Dallas, the third largest city in Texas and the ninth largest in the United States had a population of 1,197,816 according to the US Census 2010. The city has the third largest concentration of Fortune 500 corporations in the United States, The city’s economy is led by banking, telecommunications, technology, trade, oil and transportation. The city also has a major inland port and multiple rail roads, both of which facilitate the city’s trade and commerce.

Dallas’ personal care services industry is well developed. Several factors aid its growth, not the least of which is the city’s high per capita income. A career in this industry in Dallas is therefore not a bad idea at all. Esthetics holds as much, if not more, potential for career growth in the city as cosmetology, spa therapy or nail technology.

Esthetician license in Dallas

As with the rest of Texas, estheticians have to obtain a license from the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation to practice in this state. The license is issued to those who pass an examination conducted by the Department which tests the candidates’ theoretical knowledge and practical skills. To apply for the esthetician license, a candidate must have completed a 750-hour training program in an approved esthetician school. More information on licensure can be had from the TDLR website.

Accredited esthetician schools in Dallas

The Association of Skin Care Professionals (ASCP) is the premier agency accrediting esthetician schools in Dallas. Schools accredited to this agency are considered to maintain high standards of quality in their training. The agency periodically audits the accredited schools to ensure that they maintain the prescribed standards. There are only three ASCP-accredited esthetician schools in Dallas as of writing this article. However, there are seventy eight accredited esthetician schools in the whole of Texas. Aspiring estheticians from Dallas thus have plenty of training options if they are willing to move out of their city. Below given are the three esthetician schools in Texas.

Introduction

The southern state of Louisiana had a population of 4,533,372 as of the US Census 2010. New Orleans, the largest city in Louisiana had a population of 343,829 as of 2010. The state of Texas borders Louisiana on the west, Arkansas on the north, the state of Mississippi on the east and the Gulf of Mexico on the south.

The gross state product of Louisiana was $213.6 billion in 2010, putting it at the 24th position in the US. Its per capita personal income of $30,952, ranked Louisiana 41st among the states. The state’s population comprises a mix of ethnicities with African Americans, Cajuns, Creoles and Hispanics making up substantial sections of the population.

Coming to the personal care services industry of Louisiana, it is naturally not of any substantial size. For example, according to the May 2010 State Occupational and Employment Statistics published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were just 2,570 cosmetologists/hairstylists, 310 nail technicians and 290 skin care specialists (estheticians) in Louisiana. Correspondingly, beauty school numbers too are lower than average. The number of accredited esthetician schools in Lousiana are just eleven. For comparison, Califorina has 142.

This however does not mean that esthetics is an occupation with no prospects in Louisiana. As training institutions are also fewer, those graduating from them get enough placement opportunities.

Esthetician license in Louisiana

The Louisiana Board of Cosmetology is the agency that issues trade licenses to all beauty care practitioners. To get an esthetician license in Louisiana, the requirements set out for a candidate by the Board are as follows:

– Must be at least sixteen years of age

– Have completed 750 hours in an approved cosmetology school

Introduction

Maryland in southern US, is a major center of life sciences, biotechnological research and food production. According to the US Census 2010, the state had a population of 5,773,552 which made it the eighth smallest state in the country. The two biggest cities in Maryland are Baltimore and Washington DC and they, along with their suburbs, are home to most of the residents of the state. Maryland’s personal care services industry is rather small and nowhere near New York or California in size. Nevertheless, the many salons, barbershops, beauty clinics and spas across the state, point to market that is by itself of a reasonable size. One favorable factor for the personal care services industry in the state is the higher proportion of urban population. A more urbanized population tends to be more fashion conscious and spends more on beauty care.

According to the State Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates for May 2010 published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were 430 employed estheticians in Maryland which is a comparatively good number for the population.

Introduction

The south-central state of Texas is the second largest state of the United States, both by area and population. The two largest cities of Texas, Houston and San Antonio are also the fourth and seventh largest cities of the country. It is interesting to note that although Houston is often considered a desert state, only 10% of its land area is desert. As per the Census 2010, Texas had a population of 25,145,56.

Texas has an economy that is on a sound footing and it leads the country in many prominent industries including energy, petrochemicals, computer hardware, electronic goods, aerospace and biomedical. It has the second highest gross state product. The state has been the national leader in export income since 2002. Texas has a very strong agricultural base as well.

There is enough evidence that economic prosperity has a positive impact on the demand for personal care and related services in a region. Texas’s personal care services industry, as is to be expected, is quite large. For those aspiring for a career in the beauty industry Texas is a good option. A population that grows at over 20% between consecutive censuses and a strong economy that proved its resilience in the last recession will work in favor of job opportunities and wages. According to the May 2010 State Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the state had 25,570 cosmetologists/hairstylists and 2,520 skin care specialists (estheticians). The numbers further attest to the strength of the state’s personal care services industry.

Esthetician Schools in Texas is a post from: Esthetics School

Introduction

The Great Lakes region state of Michigan is the eighth most populous one in the United States. As per the Census 2010 the population of Michigan was 9,883,640. In racial terms the population was 78.9% white, 14.2% African Americans, 2.4% Asians and 0.6% American Indians. The economy of Michigan is led by auto, food processing, information technology, aeronautics, military equipment, metals and furniture.

The recession in the early part of the decade, which got exacerbated by the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks had a big impact on Michigan’s economy. The state’s economy is now on the recovery path. The state had an unemployment rate of 10.3% according to a report published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in May 2010. As a result of the problems in the economy, the state’s beauty services industry has not kept pace with the growth in population of Michigan. With the economy recovering well, it is expected that the beauty industry too will grow and reach a strong position soon. As per the Occupational Employment Statistics, May 2010, published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics put the number of employed estheticians in Michigain at 1040. By comparison, the number of barbers/cosmetologists/hairstylists stood at 12,090.

Esthetician license in Michigan

The Board of Cosmetology under the Bureau of Commercial Services is the agency vested with the authority of issuing esthetician and other beauty service licenses in the state. To appear for the esthetician license exam conducted by the Board, the candidate must be at least seventeen years of age, have a minimum education of ninth grade or equivalent, and have completed a training program of at least 400 hours in a licensed esthetician school in Michigan or alternatively have completed an apprenticeship for not less than 6 months under a master esthetician in a licensed cosmetology establishment that renders skin care services. More licensure information can be had from:

Accredited esthetician schools in Michigan

While the Board of Cosmetology allows the option of completing an apprenticeship to be eligible to appear for the esthetician license exam, training is the more preferred route. This is because a good training program imparts the right amount of theoretical knowledge of esthetics as well as cover subjects like customer communications, legal aspects and safety. For this reason trained estheticians are preferred over the others by employers. The list of licensed esthetician schools in Michigan is given below.

Esthetician Schools in California is a post from: Esthetics School

Introduction

An esthetician or skin care professional is trained to apply a range of procedures such as facials, body wraps and salt glows. Typically they start their career working in a salon or spa or by assisting a physician with skin treatments. Some of them after acquiring initial experience set up their own spa or salon and become self-employed. Most states require estheticians to be licensed. Estheticians have become an integral part of the salon and spa industry, where they offer exclusive skin care treatments.

Online esthetician training

Estheticians are required to obtain a license by appearing for a state licensure examination to practice in their state of choice. The examination assesses the candidate’s theoretical knowledge and practical skills. Typically a training program in esthetics has at least 600 hours of classwork comprising both theory and practice, that prepares the students for their respective state licensure examination. It is the requirement to demonstrate practical knowledge that makes a fully online esthetician program impractical.

However, this is not to say that online esthetics programs are non-existent. A few schools now offer online programs in pure esthetics or esthetics and cosmetology combined.

Online esthetician schools

Here we discuss three such online esthetician schools.

1. Virginia Institute School of Esthetics

This school’s esthetics program is perhaps unique, in that students are allowed to take a part of the course online while the practical work is conducted in classroom sessions. Virginia Institute of Esthetics is certified by the State Council of Higher Education of Virginia and is approved by the Board for Barbers and Cosmetology Esthetics Regulations. This means that students who complete their hybrid program are eligible to appear for the state board’s esthetician license examination. Prospective esthetics students who reside in and around Virginia Beach, Virginia can enjoy the convenience of learning from their home by enrolling in this program.

2. Stratford Career Institute

This school offers an online program in esthetics and cosmetology that leads to a diploma. The course contents include fundamentals of skin and nail care, anatomy and physiology of the skin and makeup. Students are allowed unlimited contact with certified instructors via internet or toll free calls. The exams are conducted online.

2. Milady Online

This New York-based school offers distance learning programs in cosmetology, esthetics and other related topics of study. The esthetician program helps the students prepare for the board licensing exam in their state. Divided into 22 chapters, the course includes chapter exams and quizzes in subjects such as hair removal, basic facials, facial massage, general anatomy and physiology etc. The course also includes more than 900 sets of questions and answers that may be found on most state board examinations.

Conclusion

The very nature of esthetics training makes pure online esthetician schools an impractical idea. Of the schools discussed, only Virginia Institute School of Esthetics offers a license-preparatory program in esthetics, but it is a hybrid program that can benefit only those residing near the school. The other two are fully online programs but they do not have a practical component and this makes them purely academic in nature.

Most of the state’s population live around the Salt Lake City, making Utah the sixth most urbanized state in the US. According to the US population estimates, Utah was the fastest growing state in 2008. It has Arizona on the south, Colorado on its east, Wyoming on the northeast, Idaho on the north and Nevada on the west as its neighbors. Transportation, information technology and research, mining, and tourism are the major contributors to the state’s economy. With such favorable conditions, it is but natural that the state is a thriving center for personal care and beauty services. There are several beauty schools in Utah offering basic to advanced training in cosmetology, manicuring, esthetics and related fields. There are fifteen accredited esthetician schools in Utah as of writing this report.

Esthetician license in Utah

The Utah Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing issues two types of esthetician licenses – basic and master. To start practice as an esthetician a basic license is enough. To appear for the basic licensing exam, the applicant has to complete a 600-hour training in one of the state-approved esthetician schools in Utah. For the master esthetician license a 1200-hour training is required.

Esthetician education

Once you have completed high school, plan on enrolling in an accredited cosmetology school. Schools accredited by the National Accrediting Commission of Cosmetology Arts and Sciences (NACCAS) meet the educational standards set by this national organization. Most of the programs lead to a certificate in esthetics. Enrolling in a reputed program and acquiring a solid education can prove to be valuable while entering this field.

Accredited esthetician schools in Utah

The following are the NACCAS-accredited esthetician schools in Utah as of writing this report. While some of them offer only the basic 600-hour training to prepared students for the state licensure exam, the others offer both 600 and 1200-hour programs,the latter making them eligible to appear for the master esthetician license exam.
