About

The school describes itself as a state-approved aesthetic training facility in Houston and as one of the region's leading laser schools. It states that its laser programs meet Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation requirements and that it is listed among approved certifying entities for laser professionals in Texas. According to the school, 95% of students report satisfaction and 90% are employed within six months of finishing.

Students can enroll in group classes, small-group sessions or private one-on-one instruction. Training is hybrid: theory is delivered through online courses, and clinical skills are practiced in person on live models. According to the school, classes are kept small so instructors can offer individual feedback. Bilingual help in English, Vietnamese, Spanish and Korean is available for select programs and consultations. The school welcomes students from Beaumont, Galveston, Pasadena, Cypress, College Station, Sugar Land, Pearland, Katy and The Woodlands, along with other nearby Texas communities.

The Laser Hair Removal Apprentice Certificate is a 40-hour program that includes a 100-treatment practicum. Prior laser licensing is not required to enroll. Most learners finish the first level in about one to two weeks before starting the practicum, though pacing varies with schedule and format. Licensed estheticians, cosmetologists and medical professionals may be eligible for advanced or accelerated options. Other training the school lists includes Pico Laser, CO2 Laser, Laser Rejuvenation, IPL Photofacial Rejuvenation, microneedling, RF microneedling, chemical peels, HIFU facelift and Pico Laser tattoo removal.

Longer programs include a 320-hour Eyelash Extension Specialty course designed to meet Texas State requirements, a 750-hour Esthetics program and an 800-hour Esthetics-Manicure Combo. Each pairs classroom theory with hands-on work and prepares students for the state licensure exam. To receive a certificate of hours, students must complete the required hours, pass a practical final, score at least 75% on the written exam and settle tuition. Beyond training, the school provides career advising, help with résumés and links to Houston's medical spa and aesthetic sector.

Uses a hybrid model of online theory and in-person clinical training on live models, offered in group, small-group and private formats.
