What state are you in? I filled out the standard federal aid form through the school I went to in PA and got a portion of my tuition in student loans.

We are in florida, I told her she qualifies for federal aid because she is a single mother! But she said no with 260 hours but yes with more hours!

The school has to be federally accredited in order for any students to qualify. It could be that. Does the school she wants to attend have a financial aid office? I don't think this is anything we can help with here. She would have to work with the school and fill out the standard federal financial aid application and go from there.

Yes, she applied but financial aid just cover if she takes esthetician which is 600 hrs, but she wants shorter like skin care which is 260 hrs! I understand that if someone is qualified, can take it!

Taking less than the required hours for esthetician won't get her an esthetics license. I'm sorry, I don't understand what 'skin care' means vs 'esthetician'. To me, they are one and the same and each state has it's own requirements. What could she do with a 260 hour 'skin care' education?

I completely agree with you, but in florida esthetics doesn't require license, if somebody take a course for 260 hrs is gonna obtain a facial specialist registration, same happens with other programs! Students have to be very concious about it here, so we should take another programs apart.

Yes in Florida you are on;y required the 260 to become an Esthetician and from what I understand is not covered my financial aid. What school is she looking into? Most programs will offer the 600 hour course and that is covered. I am in Florida and did the 600 hour course which is considered the "medical" esthetic program. She is really doing herself a disservice by only going for the 260 hours. It really does not cover nearly enough. My program was split into the first 300 and second and there is no way in hell I wuold have been ready to go out after 260 hours and still felt uneasy amd I have now been licensed for a year. Please try to encourage her to go for more.

Sheila thank you for your answer, we were looking into the schools here in miami and each one has different programs with different names but the same hours, for example there is Full specialist with 600 hrs and Esthetics with 700 hrs and the license for both is gona be the same! Now I'm worried because I don't want basic training!

full specialist is nails and skin care...you will get basic skin coverage and nail tech...I beleive...the 700 hour Esthetic is the one to go with if you don't want to do nails. Honestly..in the first 260 you learn how to do a facial and about skin histology, microdermabrasion and light peels but you do not get down into the nitty gritty. You will basically learn steps but you will not get the understanding of why things happen or why you do certain things to the skin. Even with the 700 you will still want to attend continuing education and learn as much on your own as you can!! Differnet skin care lines offer really amazing training and it doesn't matter if you have heard something more than once...it's ok...each time it sinks in more and more!! Keep us posted!

It always amazes me the different hours required in each state. In PA, where I am, I only had to take 300 hours to get my license. Granted, I knew the basics, but didn't feel comfortable starting out basically on my own doing facials and was terrified to do a peel. I got alot of continuing education and worked at 2 places since then (including my current employer) which is where I've learned most of what I know.
