Esthetician License Program: Master the Art of Skin Care

750 Hours / 22 weeks (C.I.P Code 12.0409)

The demand for professional estheticians has never been higher, as skincare plays an increasingly important role in both the health and beauty industries. L Makeup Institute’s Esthetician Program is designed to meet this demand with a comprehensive, hands-on education that prepares students for esthetician licensure and long-term success. Located in Southlake, part of the Dallas/Fort Worth metro area, our Dallas esthetician school offers students the opportunity to earn their esthetician license in Texas through real-world, industry-focused training. From foundational skin science to advanced treatment techniques, students gain the knowledge and skills needed to confidently enter the professional field.

Our new Esthetician Program is a natural extension of our beauty makeup training, where skin health and preparation are key to flawless application. While esthetics compliments our beauty makeup program, our Special Effects Makeup Program continues to stand apart as a comprehensive journey through all styles of makeup artistry—beauty, on-set hairstyling, airbrush, body painting, character, and prosthetics. Together, these offerings reflect our commitment to providing in-depth, professional training across the full spectrum of the professional makeup artistry and beauty industries.

PREPARING YOU FOR SUCCESS

What truly sets L Makeup Institute apart is our emphasis on practical, skills-based training that goes beyond the basics. While many esthetician programs only prepare you to pass the state exam, our students receive integrated instruction in high-demand services that reflect the realities of today’s esthetics industry.

We’re committed to making every hour of your education count. That’s why advanced esthetics techniques are built directly into the core curriculum—so students graduate ready to pursue a wide range of career opportunities without needing to take additional specialized training.

This immersive approach gives our graduates the confidence, competence, and powerful competitive edge needed to thrive as licensed estheticians.

Advanced Esthetician Techniques

Students will also receive specialized esthetics training in a wide range of advanced facial techniques, including Guasha facials, microdermabrasion, chemical peels, lash extensions, microcurrent technology, eyebrow lamination and tinting, eyelash lift and tint, and bleaching techniques.

“I truly feel that coming here was the best decision I made. My potential was explored and I was pushed to do looks I never thought I could. I am grateful for the opportunities L Makeup provided me with and can’t wait to start applying everything I learned into the real world!” – Melissa H

At L Makeup Institute, our Esthetician License Program includes comprehensive state board exam preparation through mock exams, practice tests, review sessions, and exam rehearsals. But our training goes far beyond the test. We prepare students for real-world success with resume development, personal branding, and coaching in professionalism, from hygiene and appearance to communication and client interaction. Industry pros offer insider insights, and students also learn how to market themselves and build their client base using social media strategies that work.

Graduates who meet L Makeup Institute’s graduation requirements will receive a Diploma. To pursue employment as an esthetician, graduates must first obtain state licensure. Upon completing 750-hours, students become eligible to apply for the Texas state licensing exam through TDLR.

Graduates of the L Makeup Institute Esthetician Program are equipped to pursue a variety of career paths within the skincare industry. These include roles such as esthetician, skincare specialist, facialist, waxing specialist or trainer, sugar specialist, and eyebrow and lash specialist. Many find opportunities in medical environments—working as dermatology estheticians, paramedical estheticians, or corrective makeup artists in dermatology clinics and cosmetic surgery offices. Others thrive in spa settings or skincare sales, while some choose the entrepreneurial path as skincare salon managers or business owners.
