Facial Specialist Certificate

The Facial Specialist Certificate is designed to provide the student with a quality education and proper procedures in order to pass the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations for licensing in esthetics. The Facial Specialist Certificate includes local occupational need, business and industry trends. All aspects of the Facial Specialist profession are presented allowing each student to develop the skills and knowledge required to obtain an entry-level position in a professional salon. This program begins only in the fall semester.

Full-time students may complete the Facial Specialist Certificate program within nine months. Part-time students may complete within a year. Time frame for daytime students is the same as evening students. Both will currently take three semesters or one year. Facial Specialist programs generally begin each fall semester.
