NCAA ESTHETICS PROGRAM-SCIENCE-BACKED, SKIN & INGREDIENT FOCUSED

The Esthetics course at Northern Colorado Advanced Aesthetics Academy is a thorough and detailed education in more than just the fundamentals of basic Esthetics.  It is our mission to set a new bar for education in esthetics in Colorado.  Our program focuses on a more medical science approach to training.   We include National Certification through the prestigious National Coalition of Estheticians Association program.  The NCEA program is equivalent to a 1200 clock hour Master's program.  Upon completion of our program our graduates are NCEA Certified, and are well prepared to sit for the State Boards.

We strive to give each student a comprehensive and practical understanding of skin conditions, ingredients knowledge, not product lines, and treatments you will use on a daily basis.  Our Esthetics program also includes training in sought after services including eyelash extensions, lash lifting, lash and brow tinting, henna brows, spray tans, body contouring and advanced modality training.  You will receive a voucher for manual resurfacing (microdermabrasion and dermaplaning), and advanced chemical peels with your enrollment, to be completed post licensing. Graduates of our course have the solid foundation and knowledge needed to find a career in a variety of settings. We train our students to graduate as confident professionals with hands-on experience in the esthetics industry.

Our Limited Enrollment Policy sets us apart from other school settings, providing personalized one-on-one instruction.  Our graduates are well practiced, trained and confident in their skills, ready to enter the esthetics field.

Academic Funding Corp financing options are available.
