Most people associate the word “aesthetician” with the face, but this job isn’t just about facials. Aspiring aestheticians can also choose to focus on their hands or feet or even specialize in a type of facial treatment like laser hair removal. 

But regardless of what you specialize in—or if you don’t specialize—some basic requirements need to be met before you can get certified as an aesthetician. In this article, I’ll talk about how to become a facial aesthetician and some resources for doing so.

Steps to Become an Aesthetician

Talk to an aesthetician about the job.

So, you want to become a facial aesthetician. Well, it’s time to talk with someone who has been in the field for some time and knows what it takes. Find an aesthetician in your area, set up an appointment, and ask them all your questions.

What is a facial aesthetician?

A facial specialist (aesthetician) provides skin care services such as facials, body treatments, and waxing. They also offer makeup application and skin analysis services to determine if products benefit each client’s unique needs.

What does a facial aesthetician do?

Facial aestheticians perform various procedures, including microdermabrasion, chemical peels, light therapy, laser resurfacing treatments, and other corrective measures such as botox injections or dermal fillers, which are used primarily for anti-aging purposes. 

They can also be used for acne scars treatment or reducing wrinkles between eyebrows due to constant frowning over the years after becoming parents, etc. So if you’re interested in working with people who have beautiful faces, this may be the right career path for you.

Find a school near you.

At the very least, you want to ensure the school is accredited by the National Accrediting Commission (NAC), which the U.S. Department of Education strictly regulates. But finding a reputable school can be difficult when there are so many options out there.

Here’s how to get started:

• Search for schools in your area online and check their accreditation status on the NAC website. The site lists all accredited schools and locations where you can search for more information about them.

• Ask friends, family members, and co-workers for recommendations on facial aesthetics programs in your area that they’ve attended or heard good things about—this may save you some time investigating schools yourself!

• Contact your local library or community college directly if your budget doesn’t allow for expensive tuition costs at private colleges/universities; they may have lists of available courses that don’t require prerequisites (like high scores on standardized exams). 

• You should also contact state boards regarding certification requirements before enrolling in any coursework—they may require proof of completion after graduating high school/postsecondary education program(s).

Check to see if your state’s board approves the program of cosmetology.

The next step is to check whether your state’s board approves the program you’ve chosen for cosmetology. Most states require a certain number of hours or credits and a certain level of education, so be sure to look up this information before enrolling in school.

Some states also require additional licenses or certifications for practicing aesthetics, so make sure you’re aware of what those entail and let them know ahead of time if you’re interested.

Apply to a school and attend classes.

• Visit the school’s website to learn about its admission process, curriculum, and requirements.
• Consider financial aid options, such as loans or grants that are available to you.

Complete your program and pass your final exam.

• You need to complete your program and pass your final exam.
• After completing your program, you can take another test known as the National Certification Examination for Estheticians (NCET).
• Once you have passed this exam, you will be able to get a license from the state where you live that allows you to practice as an esthetician or aesthetician in that state (or country).

Getting certified takes time.

Becoming a facial aesthetic is no easy feat. It takes time and dedication, but it’s well worth it. There are many steps to becoming certified, including getting your certificate of completion from an accredited institution, passing the National Board for Certification in Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork exam, continuing education credits (CECs), insurance requirements, and more.
