Perform the full range of spa and salon services

Sheridan’s Esthetician diploma program equips you to perform the entire range of professional esthetician services offered in today’s salons and spas. You’ll get hands-on experience every day in our 2 dedicated state-of-the-art labs, learning to provide:

• Facials
• Waxing
• Body treatments
• Manicures and pedicures
• Specialized services such as micro-dermabrasion and non-therapeutic massage

The esthetician program goes beyond the training you receive from other esthetician colleges and courses to encompass skills you need to build a successful business, such as sales promotion, product evaluation and business management. You will also learn to analyze and evaluate spa products and ensure that a spa or salon maintains the highest standards of hygiene.

You learn through:

• Spa trips to experience what it's like to be a client
• Hands-on experiential learning in the lab - a full 50% of class time
• Our on-campus studio "A Touch of Esthetics" where you perform services on other students and clients in a state-of-the-art esthetics spa
• Classroom discussions and demonstrations

 

Field Practica Give Real-World Experience

Both in your first and second years, you will take part in a 40-hour field placement in a skincare centre or spa. This real world experience is an asset once you’ve completed your esthetician diploma and are ready to enter the job market. 



"One of the reasons I chose Sheridan's Esthetician Program was because of their clinic, 'Touch of Esthetics'.  Working one-on-one with clinic clientele gave us the ability to develop our technical and interpersonal skills.  Because of this experience, I am employed by a top spa in Toronto."
