Our skin tells our story — it showcases who we are today, where we have been, and often where we are going. When you study to become a trained esthetician, you are taking advantage of the opportunity to be a skin care professional. As an esthetician, you know that unique treatments and customized services can provide your clients with clear, glowing skin, and can give them the confidence that they need.
Your experience and training acquired during your time at New York Institute of Beauty also will present you with a variety of career opportunities. Here are the different types of jobs you can have with an esthetician license:
Professional Esthetician
Most students who enroll in the esthetics program have set their sights on becoming a professional skin therapist. This is a traditional career path, and one that can be very rewarding. The main job responsibilities of a professional skin therapist include performing skin analyses, providing facial treatments, and completing waxing services.
Advanced Esthetician
Another career path that many esthetics students pursue is advanced esthetics, or clinical esthetics. A clinical esthetician often works in a higher end setting, and performs services designed to complement a medical treatment plan. Advanced estheticians often work in dermatology clinics, medspas, plastic surgery practices, or at cancer treatment centers.
Esthetics Sales Professional
Sometimes, esthetics students find that they are passionate about the treatments they are learning about and that they also have a flair for marketing and promotions. In this case, they can pursue a career in the sales sector of the esthetics industry. Products sales and brand representation are two options for those interested in becoming an esthetics sales professional.
Blogger
After completing your esthetics training, you will be uniquely qualified to provide insight on skin care treatments and beauty regimens. Many estheticians are able to kickstart a social career by becoming a beauty blogger.
Makeup Artist
Another professional opportunity for estheticians to consider is becoming a makeup artist. Makeup artists must have a firm working knowledge of skin types and skin care techniques in order to complete their professional looks for their clients. Makeup artists are employed by modeling agencies, film and television studios and more. In most states, an esthetics or cosmetology license is required in order to be a working makeup artist.
Whether you enroll in the esthetics program or our advanced esthetics program, you can use your time at New York Institute of Beauty to explore your career opportunities and learn more about what type of job would suit you best.
