About Us
Our Story
In 2008 the cosmetic industry was a $60 billion industry; in 2011 it had increased by 5.3% … in a recession no less! The call for estheticians to work in spas, salons and medical clinics is sounding louder as the industry responds to the increasing demands for skin care services.
Now is a great time to become a licensed esthetician. The number of jobs in this field is increasing at a rate that is much faster than the national average. In fact, according to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics (2011), the number of jobs available for estheticians is expected to increase by 38% within the next 10 years. The rising demand for skin care treatments is one of the many things fueling job growth in this field.
Licensed estheticians in Washington qualify to work performing skin care treatments in salons, spas, and medical offices. They might work at spas located in hotels or at resorts, or even on cruise ships traveling the world. Washington skin care specialists earn an annual average salary of $35,740 before tips, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Owner, Dana Ware

She holds her basic and master esthetics licenses as well as being certified (2019) with the NCEA, (National Coalition of Estheticians ). The NCEA is the highest skin care credential in the United States.
With skin care being one of today’s fastest growing occupations, Dana decided to open an esthetics only school, where there will be small classes and one on one instruction to better prepare the students for their future in the skin care industry.
