The Esthetician program is intended for those who wish to become a licensed Esthetician in North Carolina. Students will learn to provide skincare services that range from skin treatments and facials to lash and brow treatments and aromatherapy. The Surry Community College Esthetician Program will exclusively be using Dermalogica products in instruction and services.
The program certification can be earned within two semesters, and students must complete at least 600 hours. The program consists of two classes, Esthetician I and Esthetician II; each class is comprised of theoretical and practical knowledge.
Additionally, students will complete the program with the foundation and abilities to take the North Carolina State Board of Cosmetic Arts Licensing Exam for Esthetics and be eligible for employment in the beauty industry.
The Esthetics Workforce Certificate offers students the opportunity to receive the instruction and skills without placement tests, general education requirements, and college applications. Students pay continuing education’s rates without regard to residency requirements.
