At Bluestone Academy of Cosmetology, you’ll get plenty of opportunities to practice your skills before starting your career in the beauty industry. From salon services to spa treatments, hands-on training helps you build confidence, refine your techniques, and prepare to work with real clients.

The Esthetics Program is 760 hours of training that blends technical skill with the practical knowledge professionals rely on every day. You learn in small classes, get to know your instructors and classmates, and practice on real clients, which makes the experience hands-on, fun, and genuinely rewarding.
Because skincare is as much about people as it is about technique, you’ll also build the client-care, consultation, and retail skills that help estheticians create loyal, returning clients. The program prepares you to sit for the Washington State Board examinations so you can pursue your esthetics license.
From your first facial to your final practical, our instructors are right beside you. Small classes mean individualized feedback and the encouragement that helps you grow quickly and confidently.
As graduation approaches, our team helps you prepare to step into the workforce with professional habits, polished presentation, and the confidence to interview well.
Skincare is in high demand, and licensed estheticians work in a wide range of settings. Once you graduate and pass the licensing exam, you can pursue roles across spas, salons, medical and wellness environments, and beyond, and you can focus on the services you enjoy most.
