Esthetics

Nails, skin and body.  
Learn everything from head to toe.

Divided into three modules—Nails, Skin, and Body—our comprehensive hands-on training prepares students to excel as professional estheticians.

NIC emphasizes practical experience, allowing students to build confidence and refine their skills in a real spa environment. Graduates leave ready to provide top-tier services, from facials and massages to body treatments, nail care, and spa therapies.

Program Overview

NIC’s Esthetics program covers every aspect of professional skin, body, and nail care. Our working student spa allows students to practice in a realistic spa setting, gaining confidence while serving real clients.

During the Skin Care Module, students learn advanced skin analysis, client consultation, and treatment techniques. Instruction includes the use of magnifying lamps, hydrodermie machines, steamers, and high-frequency devices, including anaphoresis and cataphoresis applications.

In the Body Module, students explore massage, body treatments, and holistic therapies designed to rejuvenate and relax clients, combining technical skill with customer care.

The Nail Module teaches manicures, pedicures, gel and acrylic application, and nail health, ensuring students can provide complete hand and foot care.

Treating clients with the correct products and techniques allows students to witness real transformations and develop their professional confidence.
