Build your clientele
To work with real clients, you need the right spaces. Our health and wellness programs provide them for you, along with the skills to make your talent shine.
Whether it's our campus day spa, hair salon or nursing labs, you won't find learning like this anywhere else.

Skills
As an esthetician student, you’ll build your resume in our campus spa.
Whether it’s a manicure, massage, skin treatment or makeup application, you’ll put your skills into action.
And it’s not just about your esthetic skills. You, and your classmates, also learn the business side as you manage appointments and deal with clients.
Plus, you’ll have the chance to compete in provincial skills competitions.
If you choose to add clinical, you’ll use a laser and other specialized tools and procedures for a variety of skin treatments. Again, you’ll practice your skills on real clients.
