ESTHETICS

PROGRAM INFORMATION
Also known as skin care, the Esthetics program at Central Carolina Community College
combines theory with hands-on practice. Students will build their educational foundation
with classroom work and then apply their acquired skills in a spa. CCCC’s certified
instructors will teach students the fundamentals of skin care including facials, body
treatments, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, hair removal, makeup, and customized
skin care programs. Esthetics students will also become well versed in equipment,
product knowledge, safety requirements, and above all else, professionalism.
