How Much Does It Cost To Get Esthetician Certification?

Training to be an esthetician means going back to studying for a while – and of course paying for it too! So what does it cost to get your basic certificate?

The bottom line is that paying to become a licensed esthetician will cost you around $10,000. Some colleges may charge less than others for the course, but you really have to do your research on what you get for your money.

For example, a less expensive course may have hidden costs such as asking you to hire equipment when needed, or buying your own and bringing them to class. If other schools seem more expensive then it may be the case that it’s ‘all inclusive’ and they provide everything for you.

Keep in mind also that a good school that’s well respected is more likely to cost more than one with a lesser reputation. That’s why you have to do your research! What you also really need to do is make sure that the school is right for you – do you like the atmosphere, the campus and the teachers? Do you feel like you fit in and you’ll be happy there? That’s the school to go for.
