Do you love skincare and want to help others achieve glowing vibrant skin? Are you passionate about finding a future in a flexible industry? If so, an education in esthetics may be right for you. Estheticians help clients achieve their skincare goals through facials, brow tinting, lash lifts, and other services. If you’re ready to pamper people and help them achieve the skin they deserve, the esthetics program at La’ James International College in Iowa is a great place to start!
Esthetics is more than just beauty, it’s also a science. Our esthetics program is designed to teach you a wide range of skincare techniques and the science behind them. The esthetics curriculum at LJIC is separated into three terms that can teach you the fundamentals of esthetics and prepare you for a successful future.
During your first term and second term, you can learn different skincare procedures and the principles of esthetics. As you progress, you’ll learn more advanced techniques and after you’ve completed 10% of our esthetics curriculum you’ll be given the opportunity to show what you’ve learned to real clients in our student spa, under the supervision of licensed professionals.
The third term heavily focuses on your journey as a student. As you start to prepare to graduate, a majority of your third term is spent practicing and perfecting skills learned in the first two terms with a focus on perfecting and using LJIC’s Seven Standards. The third term is intended to be an internship-like atmosphere as you prepare for your career within the industry.
Our goal is to set each student up for success, which is why we have a unique LJIC tracker to make sure you have the opportunity to learn all the skills required to become a licensed esthetician.
I would recommend everyone come to LJIC because you get to meet a lot of new people and this field can take you anywhere.
The opportunities are endless here at LJIC and the tools for success are given to you. You just have to apply them! I love Wednesday and Thursday mornings We [student & staff] meet to discuss the week ahead and build together as a team.
I chose LJIC because it gave me more options to learn different areas rather than just hair only. You learn nails, the spa side of Cosmetology, and everything else.
