8. Do I need a degree to become an Esthetician?

No, No, No! In the United States, each state has an hourly educational requirement which you must meet. In North Carolina, the State Board of Cosmetic Arts requires that you have 600 hours of training. That is all the education necessary, which is the great thing about our programs. You are prepared for what you need to get employed in your area of study as quickly as possible! There is no “fluff” classes and extra degree requirements that keep you in school longer and cause you to spend extra money. Once you complete your program, you are ready to sit for the State Board examination and you are ready to become employed!
