What Drives Us

Our Core Values…

Students First - Always And Forever...

I know, I know… they all say that. And I think they all mean it. So how are WE different? Well, first of all…

You are not a number, ever. You are a professional in the making. You are the future of the industry. We are here to get you to the finish line. We are here to see you succeed. We are here – for you, always. Even after you graduate. Once you’re an alumni, you’re family forever.

Dynamic Curriculum Is Key To Making Dynamic Pro's...

We are FIRM believers that if you’re having fun, you’re learning. Therefore, you can bet our curriculum is student-centered and super interactive. Lessons are fun, immersive, and always IN PERSON.

I’m not sayin’ it’s always a cake-walk. But I am sayin’ we’re going to have a heck of a lot of fun teaching you things that will resignate for the rest of your career. And we love that!

Boutique Classes Are Where It's At...

What are boutique class sizes? We will max classes out at 10 students. That’s all, folks. 10 students allow for the perfect 1:1 time with the instructor.

Boutique class sizes allow for more teacher time, more clinic time for everyone, and more practice time on each other. You learn together as a group and help each other get to the finish line.

Students First - Always And Forever...

It’s all about getting as much practice in school as possible, therefore, students are hands-on from DAY TWO, and continue to work with their hands until the last day of school.

Students will start taking outside clients starting week three. Practice makes the best Spa Professional possible!

Preparation For The Workforce Is The Name Of The Game

No one goes to school because it’s just so fun lol. We go to school to change our lives, our career paths, and ultimately to get a job. In our school, we spend our time preparing you for the industry ahead.

-Clinics and practice take place in a real spa setting, made to build client relationships

-Students senior project will be to create an online portfolio of work so they have plenty of content to go into the industry with

-Business mastery skills are added to the back half of the program and give them the knowledge of job hunting, resume building, business owning, and marketing

Working With Award-Winning Product Lines

No one wants to learn on sub-par products. Often times, students learn on products that aren’t relevant or don’t make a lasting impression. The Skin Care Academy, students will be learning on Eminence Organic Skin Care, which is known industry-wide for their quality training and amazing techniques. Learning on Eminence helps make our students more marketable and helps increase their understanding of products, ingredients, and protocols.
