I'm thrilled to share my experience starting the Esthetics course at Dorsey College in the US at the age of 38. Initially, I felt a bit nervous due to the language barrier, but my instructor, Mrs. Tonia Burns, has been a game-changer. Her hands-on teaching style and real-world experience have made a huge difference. She's incredibly supportive and approachable, which has boosted my confidence. I appreciate the emphasis on practical experiences, especially in a field like esthetics. The flexible program formats, including evening classes, have also been a huge plus, allowing me to balance my studies with work and family commitments. I'm grateful for this opportunity and look forward to continuing my education with Dorsey College.

I’ve had such a great experience at Dorsey’s esthetician program, especially with Mrs. Tonia Burns. She really knows how to set expectations for the real life work place after school and how to achieve your goals, while preparing you in getting your esthetician license and making the class fun/exciting to go to. Definitely would 10/10 recommend her as an instructor and Dorsey as a whole!

I enrolled into the esthetician program here at Dorsey back in January. After a few hurdles, I started my program at the beginning of April! As a full time MUA I was looking to get my license to further myself as a business owner and a professional. As the program began I was strictly looking to “get in and get out” and pass state boards. It was until Mrs. Tonia acquired our class and we ACTUALLY started learning about what it means to be an esthetician. Now I am looking into services that I never even thought about adding as a professional and having completed confidence in my knowledge to pass state boards. I’m not sure if you can request an instructor but I was say at least try for Mrs. Burns. She’s so knowledgeable, witty, and fun but also is about her business so be ready to learn and put in the work.
