About

The Spa Academy USA is a school teaching beginning and advanced esthetics. Its full-time esthetics program is a 600-hour course built on a state-required, state-approved curriculum, meeting Monday through Friday from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm for 37.5 hours a week over 16 weeks. The classes are meant to lead to the state licensure and certifications needed for an esthetics career.

Students learn through a mix of theory and practical work, practicing procedures on fellow students and on members of the public. Licensed instructors supervise each service directly, according to the school, and the school states that its entire teaching staff holds licences and has experience. The curriculum includes dermaplaning, high frequency, galvanic treatments, full body and Brazilian waxing, makeup application, body treatments, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, lash lifting, brow lamination, and tinting for lashes and brows. The school describes its training as hands-on and thorough.

Graduation requires 600 hours of school, an 85% GPA or higher, passing theory chapter exams, completing practical services and assignments, and paying tuition in full. Tuition for the 600-hour program is listed at $11,000. Total program costs, including a non-refundable $100 application fee, a non-refundable $50 registration fee and a $2,000 kit and book fee, come to $13,150. The school reserves the right to change tuition with or without notice. The student kit includes Hale & Hush skin care products, such as cleansers, toners, masks, serums and SPF 30.

The school states it is in the process of becoming accredited through NACCAS. Booking for the student clinic is done by phone at 919.496.1676, and cancellations or reschedules need 24 hours' notice. Otherwise a 50% cancellation fee applies and must be paid before another service can be booked. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 am to 4:00 pm.

Training combines classroom theory with supervised hands-on work, with students performing services on classmates and members of the public under licensed instructor oversight.
