I would give a 4/5 but I’m doing 5/5 so it can be on top. I’m a recent SCI esthetician graduate and I would like to say some things. Overall, I would say my experience was fun, went by fast, and I’ve met some great people. However, I would say that it is a new program and I would’ve liked if they actually set things up before we started. It was kind of unorganized with the schedule and rooms. I would also say it is hard to try and learn in the salon setting when you’re interrupted taking random walk-in clients and trying to learn at the same time. And you’re sitting at a salon bed learning and working instead of in a classroom setting which can be hard for me personally because I need an actual chair and desk. The a/c fluctuates in the esthetician room which can be very hot at times and it makes it hard to wax someone when the wax stays melted instead of cooling and hardening. Also, I feel like the cosmetology area is really loud and it makes it hard for it to be relaxing for a client and myself during a facial. I feel that the clock in machine is very far from the parking lot (you have to park behind the first three parking slots) and that could lead you to be late. So maybe there could be two for the people that are strictly in the classroom in the main building (also because there’s always a line to clock in). There’s always educators leaving which is not really preventable. Other than all of that, it was a great experience and I wish everyone luck on your careers♥️ (it’s very hands on and you can take models and practice what service you want to better, so don’t be discouraged by my words it’s very fun. I want the school to see this to hopefully make changes) Thanks SCI !

The Esthetician program provides the student with the opportunity to express creativity within the bounds of technical skill in safety, sanitation and health factors when working with skin, make-up, and salon management. The objective of this program is to provide students with the instruction and practice needed to gain licensure as an esthetician through TDLR. The program includes training in basic skills, safety, and the proper work habits needed for employment.

The curriculum for this program conforms to the requirements established and monitored by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations (TDLR) and is designed to prepare the student to gain licensure from TDLR by taking and passing the state examination. The courses include instruction in cleansing, stimulating, or massaging a person’s scalp, face, neck, shoulders, or arms, beautifying a person’s face, neck, shoulders, or arms using a cosmetic preparation, antiseptic, tonic, lotion, powder, oil, clay, cream, or appliance, administering facial treatments, removing superfluous hair, and other selected topics. Clinic work allows the student hands-on application and practice of newly learned skills while under the supervision of an experienced Instructor. Successful completion of this course does not automatically guarantee state licensure. The graduate must take and pass state-administered examinations.

Upon successfully passing written and practical examinations administered by TDLR, graduates may seek entry-level employment as an esthetician in a salon or spa environment.

Career opportunities may include, but are not limited to, esthetician, skincare specialist, make-up artist, and facial product salesperson.
