Esthetics Training for a Career in Skin Care
Professional esthetics combines knowledge of the skin with practical beauty and skin care techniques. At Bella Institute, students receive an education designed to help them understand both the theory and application of professional esthetics.
The Esthetics & Skin Care program covers subjects such as anatomy and physiology, chemistry, skin care, facial treatments, temporary hair removal, and makeup application.
Students have opportunities to practice techniques as they progress through the program. More advanced students can also gain practical experience by providing services to clients through Bella Institute’s student salon under appropriate supervision.
The goal is to help students develop more than technical knowledge. Students learn how to perform services professionally, interact with clients, and build the practical skills needed in a salon, spa, or other professional setting.
At Bella Institute you will receive guidance and counseling to help you select the perfect career in therapeutic services. Our beginning and advanced programs include a great deal of visual learning as well as hands on practicing techniques. Our classrooms have all the state-of-the-art equipment you will use in the field. Students also have the opportunity for real life, hands-on application of their techniques with our public salon service when their skills are more advanced.

A Competency-Based Esthetics Program
One of the major differences between Bella Institute and many traditional beauty schools is its competency-based educational format.
Instead of basing a student’s progress solely on completing a predetermined number of classroom hours, competency-based education focuses on demonstrating mastery of required knowledge and practical skills.
Students progress through theory, written examinations, practical instruction, and skill assessments. As students demonstrate competency, they can advance through the program.
This format can be especially valuable for focused students who learn quickly and want an educational structure that recognizes demonstrated skills and knowledge.
The Esthetics & Skin Care program is comprehensive, and covers a wide variety of topics including:
- Anatomy & Physiology
- Chemistry
- Temporary Body Hair Removal
- Skin Care & Facials
- Makeup Application
Small Classes and Individual Attention
Learning a hands-on profession often requires direct feedback from an instructor. Bella Institute emphasizes smaller classes so students have opportunities to ask questions, receive guidance, and improve their techniques.
Individual attention can be especially important when learning esthetics because small details matter. Proper technique, sanitation, product application, client communication, and treatment procedures all require practice.
Bella Institute’s combination of classroom instruction and hands-on education gives students an environment where they can continue developing these skills throughout their program.
Bella Institute is unlike most traditional beauty schools that require students to complete a set number of hours. Bella has been certified by the Oregon State Board of Education to offer competency-based instructions, which means, once students demonstrate mastery of skills they are certified.
