Esthetics & Nails
High Touch to High Tech
NEW - EXPANDED 1100 hour Full Time ESTHETICS / SPA THERAPY DIPLOMA PROGRAM
They say it’s a Revolution
Once, esthetics training focused on the conventional – solid, concrete theoretical curricula with a strict emphasis on repetitive practical cosmetic massage movements and a limited array of beauty services. Not any more. In the last decade, Esthetics training and its related services have evolved, transitioned and morphed into every form, function and fashion imaginable.
Whether it’s Spa Fusion, Eco Culture or Global Sampling, clients can now cross the globe to an exotic multi-million dollar locale and indulge in the region’s indigenous treatments or pare things down to its simplest elements with the casual comfort and intimacy of the neighbourhood day spa. Familiarity can breed content.
Moving onto to a whole new lexicon, the "High Spa IQ" consumer assimilates beauty terminology with science. With a new generation of skincare products that advocate DNA repair that improves the skin’s appearance from the outside in, to non-invasive breakthrough technology using various levels of light energy, the language of beauty has changed. Whether it’s our everyday vernacular, Webster’s Dictionary or Wikipedia, terminology such as micro-dermabrasion, photorejuvenation, non-ablative resurfacing, or treatments of retox, detox to Botox, it’s all become so common place.
Interpretation, translation and comprehension – what does it all mean? It means that as an Esthetics professional, you have choice: endless, infinite choice. It means that as you make this commitment to yourself, you become the heroine or hero of this journey and the author of your own story. It all begins with you and it all ends with us; with all of us who will support you along the way. Here, at Blanche Macdonald.
Choosing a career in Esthetics?
Karmic chameleon. Locked down with aptitude tests and career prototypes? Time to toss out these well-worn personality profiles and any boundary-based thinking. The beauty of the beauty professional is the ability to morph, shape, sculpt and transform into anything you want to be. Your professional Esthetics career can look and appear in many different colours, shapes and sizes. Whether you want to colour inside the lines or out, it’s all a beautiful Technicolor kaleidoscope.
At the Blanche Macdonald Centre, the college has developed an incredibly comprehensive and progressive curriculum that will provide you with a world full of choices.
Your focus may be on practicing responsible beauty with the "greening" of your spa and the use of biodegradable packaging or in enhancing your "beauty as science" interests with a career as a medi spa professional.
Or your goal may be in the refinement of your "High Touch" skills with Effleurage hand movements for your deep pore facial treatments, expanding your spa menu with Ayurvedic massage or Reflexology treatments to the development of your "High Tech" skills with the e-marketing of your spa and services.
At the Blanche Macdonald Centre, you can do it all.
Blanche Macdonald Centre – Canada’s #1 Esthetics / Spa Therapy College is proud to continue its tradition of leadership, innovation and excellence.
