Esthetics
Use your creative flair to build others' self-esteem with a career in esthetics. Enhancing the face and body is what esthetics is all about. It's an up-and-coming cosmetic art that focuses on helping people look and feel their best.
Also known as skin care, the esthetics program at Central Carolina Community College combines theory with hands-on practice. Students will build their educational foundation with classroom work, and then apply their acquired skills in a simulated salon environment. With a little practice, students will perfect their technique and develop confidence in their work.
CCCC's certified instructors will teach students the fundamentals of skin care including facials, hair removal, exfoliation and hot wax treatments. Esthetics students will also become well versed in equipment and product knowledge, safety requirements and above all else, professionalism.
Throughout all the instruction and applied experience, esthetics students will be working toward one overall goal, to take and pass the written and practical examinations required by the North Carolina Cosmetology State Board.
Because of CCCC's experienced faculty and their strong relationships with salon owners and esthetics agencies, graduates of this program are able to find immediate job placement at a variety of locations. They can be employed as professional estheticians, skin care salon owners, make-up artists and more. Jobs are plentiful in the medical field where graduates may work with dermatologists or cosmetic surgeons.
Success in this program is enhanced by a positive attitude and a good work ethic. Those characteristics, mixed with a little creativity and hands-on training, result in graduates with a true sense of professionalism ready to contribute to a growing industry.
The program, designed to be completed in two semesters, is offered during the day and evening on the Lee County Campus, in Sanford, North Carolina.
