ADMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS

Although the student need not have prior study in the area of aesthetics, nail and aromatherapy, an enjoyment of working with people in a one on one situation is a must. Students must be 19 years of age or older (if under the age of 19, a parent or legal guardian must sign the contract). Students must submit evidence of high school graduation or receive special acceptance from the instructor if they are under 19 years of age. If the student’s second language is English, but the student can speak and write it well, an interview with an instructor is required to assess acceptance into the program. A specific test score is not required in order to accept students. An interview with an instructor will be sufficient to determine the student’s ability to study but, if the student possesses records of English language test scores and would like to submit them, s/he may submit them with the application.
