What to look for in an esthetics program
Licensing hours
Every state sets its own required training hours for an esthetician licence — commonly 600 to 750, though several states require 1,000 or more. Confirm the program you choose meets your own state board's minimum before you enrol.
Accreditation
Accreditation determines whether a program can offer federal financial aid and whether your hours transfer. NACCAS accredits most beauty schools; regional accreditors cover community colleges.
Graduate volume
A program's annual completion count is a useful proxy for how established it is. We publish this figure on every listing, straight from federal reporting.
Total cost
Ask for tuition, kit fees, textbooks and state exam fees as one number. Kit and exam costs are commonly excluded from advertised tuition.
