What will you learn
Hyphen Beauty School (formerly Florida Academy of Beauty) will prepare you from start to finish to work in a spa or to start your own practice. Every module begins with theory, followed by hands-on training. The modules consists of: Anatomy, Skin Analysis, Skin Care Products, Facials, Hair Removal, Makeup, Sanitation and Salon Management.
Prerequisites
No prior skin care experience needed. Prospective students must pass 10th grade English before enrolling. A high school diploma or GED is not required.
Course Duration
220 hours. If you attend classes two days per week from 9am to 9pm, you will complete the course in 2 months.
We have three slots for Esthetics classes. Students can work with their instructor to set their schedules within these time slots (ex. daytime only or nighttime only):
- Mondays / Tuesdays from 9am to 7pm
- Wednesdays / Thursdays from 9am to 7pm
- Fridays from 9am to 5pm.
We accept Spanish students as our theory lectures are conducted in both English and Spanish.
At the end of the course, you will test with our lead instructors. You do not need to sit for a state exam.
Total Tuition
$4,240. This includes 3 months of instruction, a Dermalogica Student kit, and all state board license and registration fees.
Hyphen is a Dermalogica Partnership School so you will be trained in using the Dermalogica line of products. You also have the free option of being certified in the Dermalogica lineup as part of your instruction.
We use the latest edition of Milady’s esthetics textbooks which can be purchased via Amazon. The ISBN numbers are listed below in the FAQ.
Only $800 is due at enrollment. The balance of tuition can be spread out over the program. This equates to $990 per month until graduation. You will get a free set of Milady textbooks if you signup and pay in full using cash, check or Zelle.
Federal student grants and loans do not apply for any 220 hour Esthetics program in the State of Florida. This is because federal funding only applies to programs above 600 hours. However, most students will attest that this program is one of the best bang-for-your-buck programs in Orlando. Most students recoup their tuition within three months after graduation when working in a spa.
Graduation
At the end of the course, you will test with our lead instructor. You do not need to sit for a state exam to become a licensed esthetician.
As a licensed esthetician, you are ready to work at a spa or to start your own salon. Once you have secured your license, it is highly recommended that you continue with your Full Specialist license as many spas value the range and flexibility of the additional training.
