ESTHETICS
(Available at the Shreveport campus only)

The Esthetics Diploma program is designed to provide the scientific knowledge, artistic principles, and hands-on practice needed to become a skin care professional. It introduces the students to professional standards, to aspects of personal and career development, and to the legal and ethical responsibilities of workers who interact physically with the public. Blue Cliff's approach provides a simulated environment, which enables students to develop the skills, and knowledge that can lead to an entry-level career in Esthetics. Graduates of this program are eligible to take examinations required for licensure as an Esthetician. Employment opportunities for graduates who achieve licensure as professional estheticians may include spas, salons, cruise ships, department stores, representatives of product lines, and many other settings. The licensed esthetician will perform activities such as, but not be limited to, analyzing customer skin care needs, discussing treatments and products, performing facials, advising on skin care and makeup techniques, and promoting skin care products. Upon successful completion of the 780-clock hour program and all other graduation requirements, the program culminates in the awarding of an Esthetics Diploma.
