The esthetics industry is thriving in Atlantic Canada, and if you’re passionate about making people look and feel their best, the HDC’s Esthetics Program is for you. You will love the creativity and flexibility that your esthetics career gives you, and the satisfaction that comes from knowing that your clients leave your treatment with more confidence than they had when they came in.

This unique, comprehensive program offers students the opportunity to learn in a traditional classroom, and refine their skills in our on-site, fully functional spa. In fact, our Esthetics Program is so robust that 9/10 graduates secure a job in the industry within a month of graduation. Designed and taught by cosmetology experts, the Esthetics Program gives students a solid foundation in the critical skills they need to build an exciting and rewarding career as an esthetician. To begin, students train to develop a fundamental understanding of esthetic services such as facial services, hair removal, makeup techniques, nail services and enhancements.

Following this, students are given a grounding in the skills required to give their clients high-quality treatments. This includes general sciences such as infection control, anatomy, chemistry and skin sciences. Finally, to ensure our students are able to build and manage a successful career, our course includes training in business-building skills. Graduates will learn how to manage clientele relationships and retention, deliver product recommendations, and plan their careers—all critical skills for the development of a long and successful career in esthetics.
