Esthetics, Skin Care, and Salon Management

This is the "core curriculum" - the 600-hour course that prepares you to take the New York State written and practical exams for a license. At the Lia Schorr Institute of cosmetic skin care training, this esthetics course goes well beyond the basics.Our teachers have a wealth of experience, are passionate about the field they're in, and look forward to sharing their knowledge with you.

As one of the top esthetic schools in the country, the Lia Schorr Institute of cosmetic skin care training takes pride in not only teaching students the basic science of skin but also the art of skin analysis. Our esthetic course teaches you not just how to give a facial but how to assess what type of facial is best for each person (and you'll learn 7 different types).

In additiona to skincare theory, waxing, the science of product ingredients, makeup choices and application techniques (an information-packed 70 hours of instruction), you'll be introduced to the all-important art of client communication. Our curriculum is based on state-of-the-art scientific advances combined with the best traditional European and American techniques.
