Esthetician Program

Our program courses will prepare you for a career in Esthetics. Remember, success
as a student depends on your complete participation in the program. Since the program’s
inception, hundreds of students have graduated. Students interested in the program
do not need any prior knowledge of the field, only an interest in Esthetics.

In the classroom, students will learn how to perform a facial, the different types
of facial massage, different massage techniques, and what type of skin each technique
is best used for, electrical modalities, microdermabrasion, chemical exfoliants, waxing
and hair removal procedures, makeup applications. Students also learn theories of
skin, histology, physiology, chemistry, bacteriology, nutrition, and anatomy.

The Cerritos College Esthetician Program is a Dermalogica Partnership School. Their
experts from the International Dermal Institute teach world renowned classes to our
students. Our students receive advanced training on Dermalogica products and treatment
protocols, experience hands-on practical application using professional-grade products,
learn how to build client connections and revenue from retail sales, and receive access
to advanced postgraduate training when transitioning from student to professional.
