Program / Admission Details
The Master Esthetician program prepares students to enter one of the fastest growing fields in the beauty industry by teaching them the skills they need to take the State of Utah’s written and practical exams for the Master Esthetician license. Building upon skills in facials, manicures, and pedicures, the Master Esthetician program develops more specific training in advanced facial techniques, skin care massage, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, ultrasonic facials, LED light facials, microcurrent facials, advanced hair removal, advanced makeup, body treatments, and chemical peels. As a student in the program, you will learn to perform hands-on microneedling and hydrafacials and laser treatments such as photo facials, hair removal, and sublative rejuvenation with a laser.
At the end of the program, students are qualified to take the Utah State Master Esthetician Licensing Exams (a valid US Social Security Number, your individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN), or Alien registration Number (A-number), and an unexpired government-issued ID are necessary for licensure.)
NOTE: The Master Esthetician program requires 1200 hours of combined coursework (600 hours of Esthetician and 600 hours of Master Esthetician courses). If a student has earned Cosmetology or Basic Esthetician licensure, the first 600 hours of this coursework will be recognized as fulfilled based on DOPL (Utah) licensure. If students have received a Davis Technical College certificate of completion for the Esthetician program, the first 600 hours of this coursework will be recognized as fulfilled. Please contact the Service Profession Support Specialist (listed under Program Contact) for more information if you have related coursework or licensure.
