Orlando Esthetician School

The school operates from a suite on Kingspointe Parkway in Orlando under the Orlando Esthetician School name, which the website also presents as Inspirit School of Healing Arts. It is licensed by the Florida Department of Education and Board of Cosmetology and is recognized by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to accept GI Bill benefits. The school describes its approach as combining esthetic fundamentals with holistic practices that address body, mind and spirit.

The core offering is the 260-hour Holistic Facial Specialist program, which prepares students for Florida licensure as a facial specialist. It is offered as a day program running Monday to Wednesday mornings and early afternoons over about three and a half months, as an evening program meeting Wednesday to Friday from 6:00 to 10:00pm over five months, and as a five-month Spanish-language program on weekends, where textbooks, instruction and exams are all provided in Spanish; the Spanish program currently has a waitlist. Training covers advanced facial cupping, crystal therapy in skincare, gua sha facial sculpting, facial reflexology and acupressure, brow lamination and tinting, intuitive touch methods and aromatherapy integration. Students practice with an ultrasonic skin spatula, a nano infusion pen, an LED light therapy panel and high-frequency skin therapy equipment, using the school's in-house Inspirit Botanicals line of organic, plant-based products.

Total cost for the 260-hour program is $5,170. That includes a $150 non-refundable application fee, $300 for textbooks due at the start (not part of the payment plan), and $4,720 in tuition. A payment plan of $429 per month is available. GI Bill students must submit a Certificate of Eligibility by email when applying and pay the application fee out of pocket. Applicants need a government ID, a Social Security number, an online application and a copy of a high school diploma, GED, college diploma or transcript, and must be at least 16. Those without a diploma copy can still enroll after scheduling a school tour to complete paperwork confirming their education level.

Beyond the facial program, the school offers a 520-hour massage therapy program and a 200-hour yoga teacher training for students pursuing dual licensure or other wellness careers. Students also run a supervised student facial clinic, where clients book 60-minute signature facials for $45. The clinic charges the full session fee to anyone who does not cancel at least 24 hours in advance.

Beyond its core programs, the school runs eight in-person advanced certifications open to licensed facial specialists and estheticians, as well as Inspirit students who have finished 260 hours and are waiting on their license. Anyone attending must present a state license. Every course pairs an instructor demonstration with clinical protocols and supervised practice, and ends with a certificate of completion. Students supply their own model, due by 12:00 PM on the day of training. Sessions run from 3 to 9 hours and cover dermaplaning, TCA and Jessner chemical peels, microneedling, speed waxing with Brazilian hair removal, classic lash extensions, body contouring, and facial sculpting paired with Ayurvedic head massage. Enrolling in two or more courses reduces tuition by $100. The certifications are not approved for GI Bill benefits. Affirm payment plans are offered, and current Facial Specialist students may roll certification costs into their school plan. Separately, the two-day Oncology Esthetics Certification Training teaches how to modify skincare for clients who are undergoing or recovering from cancer treatment, emphasizing safety, comfort and contraindications. According to the school, completing this course does not authorize anyone to diagnose, treat or manage cancer or any other medical condition.

Blends esthetic fundamentals with holistic practices that address body, mind and spirit, aiming to produce technically proficient practitioners who can offer therapeutic facial experiences.
