How to find a esthetician school?

Hi-
I live in Woodstock Virginia, and i was wondering if anyone knew of a close esthetician school near me, or how to find one, One where i wouldn't have to drive over an hour. Also i read on the internet that you can finish your esthetician program in 4 months if you go full time, or 8 months if you go part time. Is this true? I would appreciate any and all help thank you

Thanks alot i appreciate it, I thought if i went to cosmo. school that i would only be able to do hair, I have done alot of research on estheticians and i know for sure this is something i want to do. How do i find a school near me

Questions about being an Esthetician?

I'm 19 years old, and for months i've been struggling about what I want to do for my career, and just recently I've become interested in becoming an Esthetician.. I know it doesnt pay as good as a lot of jobs, but it seems like something I would really enjoy so it's worth it. My questions are is there a demand for Estheticians in the U.S. specifically in Virginia? Also, about how much school does it take? and what is the average pay? If anyone could tell me ANY information it would be greatly appreciated. Also, if you are an Esthetician yourself, do you like it? do you regret it? or do you love it? .. just wondering, so thanks to everyone who answers! =)

If your spa said "do you prefer a man or woman" esthetician, which would you choose? Does it matter?

I am starting esthetician school and I was just curious. I know a lot of male estheticians do really well... just wanted to know your opinion!

is licensure as an esthetician (skin care technician) worth it???

i am curious on pursuing a license as an esthetician. i don't have a business, i'm male (does it matter the sex) and i don't know if it would be a waste of my time pursuing this.
can you get a job easily (i live in the central florida area, orlando, daytona beach..)?
i am very interested in the career for the time being. are there any estheticians out there who can give me some advice on this possible leap i am taking here..thanx

Why would Spa Busness Owners and Staff be synical to others trying to better themselves?

" I know..the economy is hurting right now.. and mabe this is not the right or perfect time to go back to school for certain occupations.. But.. I and other hope things will pick up and improve. I contacted this Spa.. actually 12.. one only replied back.. asking about the field with the economy.. and was told its hard .. because no one want to hire new grads? Well she and others were all new graduates at one time. As an Esthetician in WI.. unlike.. Cosmetology... we can work with our license on our own if we want. The spas expect you to do the leg work.. bring in all the busness then when your ready to leave .. you can't take with you the busness you brought in? How is that fair.. when an Esthetician.. is a Professional with a lisense who can work from home no over head.. bringing in all the clients.. Also.. if busness was bad or that slow.. how can the Spas afford to pay their employees then.. and why aren't they shutting down. As an esthetician.. you can contract yourself out to Theatres..Opera house.. that is more money.. If your brave.. enough to go into high end dancing establishments and escort services that is even more money.. they need these services for their busness and looks.. they make thousands a day. I don't know.. why these Spas are so.. caddy.. acting like we Estheticians that are recent graduates can't get clients alone...when the spa requests we do this for them.. Also.. these Spas cant supply hours.. and yet make you sign a clause to not work at another? When you have to pay your rent? It all depends .. on how persistant and what a go getter you are. You can sell yourself and services. Also.. products and baskets.. spa parties for kids..teens adults.. etc. Bridal Parties.. ideas are endless.. Should I not... let this experience with this email that was negative to get me down? If ... I were a cosmetologist here.. I would have no choice but to work under a spas license for two years before .. I could go it alone.. but .. I am not... and don't. Cheer Me On Friends.. I need the encouragement. Thanks

Estheticians/cosmetologists: Is an employer taking 40% of my earnings too much in this situation?

I'm an esthetician who has been considering going to work for this woman who is starting up her own mobile spa/salon business. It would be a great job because of the flexible schedule, but the major down side is that I would have to put a ton of money towards my own supplies. All the owner does is marketing/advertising to try and get us clients. This wouldn't be such a huge deal, but the owner is going to be taking 40% of our earnings, and although I know nothing about the mobile spa business, this seems really high for someone who isn't providing a massage table or any of the supplies that I will be using. Just wanted to get some more opinions from other cosmetologists/estheticians on this to see if this seems reasonable or not?
Dr. Deth, I think when you responded you missed the fact that I had stated that this is a MOBILE business. Meaning that this owner does not pay any rent, any utilities, etc. She doesn't even pay to have us insured. We have to pay for ourselves to get bonded through the state. We go to people's houses or places of business to perform services. All the owner does is post up flyers for her business, pass out business cards and try to network to get her stylists, estheticians, etc business. The fees she has to pay are pretty nominal.

Can I open up a hair salon if I’m not a hair dresser?

I want to hire hair dressers and estheticians but I want to run the place. Is that possible? Have you ever seen it done, or does the owner/manager always have to be a hair dresser?
