Nichole, I would highly suggest working in a medical setting or a spa and get some experience before you attempt working on your own.  Going through facial school is a breeze, however, it is what you learn afterwards will make the greater impact on your career.  You have to find out what you truly are the most interested in, either to work in the medical field or spa/salon.  Wishing you all the best!!!

oh okay I called them an they said you can do it from your home that it has to have its own separate entrance and own bathroom,... they didnt say it had to be in a business section .. oh that is killer :( yeah Im interested in the medical aspect too for sure! what is the place most likely to hire me medical spa? hospital and is it a lot in demand ? these are things im trying to research but it is where my heart is at but I also want to make sure it is worth it but I have high hopes and im going for it !!! Im in sw miami area Thanks for your info :)

I would strongly recommend that you do not attempt to do esthetics from home. The Department of Business Regulations has very strict rules and most homes are not deemed to be in a business section. You are correct regarding the very low 260 hours. If you do not have another degree many seek the route of the advanced paramedical degree. If you are wanting to work more in a medical arena this is a good route to go. However, with excellent education and direction you can receive the basic skills to become a facial specialist. If you would like to contact me at denise@lneonline I would be happy to recommend several schools if I am familiar with any in your area!  Best of luck!

I've been been an esty for 8 years.

You will have to check with the schools in Tampa. I'm not familiar with any there. You may want to wait until you move. It may be cheaper and less time to take an advanced class instead of the basic and then an advanced.

I hope to get started soon what if I take the 3.5 month course now an then go back to a different school in Tampa for a more advanced class., that can be done right? as long as I'm licensed

I love diamond microderm. It is so much easier than the cystals. I used to have a huge $2,000 machine, but sold it when I moved to FL. I'm looking into getting another one, but much less expensive. How long have you had yours? Any issues? Remember not to use it too much. On my clients I say once a week for 7 - 8 weeks and then take a break for awhile. And wear sunscreen!!! You will get a nasty burn without that the added protection of the layers of skin you are peeling off.

As far as a multi-function, check Craigslist. What you really need is a mag light, steamer and hot towel cabi. Those are the basics and they can all be bought seperate or as a multi-funcion machine. Some places online....I think ebay have good deals for start ups too that include a bed, stool and cart. Since you don't have your license yet, you can take your time looking for the items and you will find a lot in Tampa and Orlando.
