Why Choose Hyphen's Esthetician Classes in Orlando?

  • Graduate in 2.5 Months - Most esthetician schools stretch programs to 4-6 months to charge more tuition. We follow Florida's exact 220-hour requirement—no padding, no unnecessary content. Attend two days per week for 10-11 weeks and you're licensed and working.

  • 2-Day Weekly Schedule - Classes meet either Monday/Tuesday or Wednesday/Thursday from 9am-7pm. Weekend classes (Saturday/Sunday) are also available—join the waitlist if weekends work best. Most of Hyphen's students continue working while attending esthetician classes.

  • Hybrid Learning Model - All theory and lectures are available through our eLearning platform. When you come to campus, you skip the lectures and dive straight into hands-on work: performing facials, waxing, makeup application, and lash treatments on real clients under instructor supervision.

  • Dermalogica Partnership School - You'll train exclusively with Dermalogica products—one of the most prestigious professional skincare brands used in high-end spas worldwide. You'll also have the option to earn official Dermalogica certification as part of your program, which gives you an immediate edge when applying to upscale spas, medical spas, and resort properties throughout Orlando.

  • Small Classes, Personal Mentorship - We cap every class at 20 students maximum. That means your instructors know your name, recognize your strengths and challenges, and give you personalized feedback on your technique. You're not competing with 50 other students for practice time or instructor attention.

  • All-Inclusive Tuition: $4,540 - Your tuition covers 220 hours of expert instruction, professional Dermalogica skincare kit, lash kit, online eLearning platform access and all Florida state board licensing and registration fees. Just $600 to enroll, then pay the remaining balance interest-free over your time in school (about $1,100/month). No loans. No debt at graduation.

  • Bilingual Instruction - All course materials are available in both English and Spanish. Our instructors are fluent in both languages, so you can learn in whichever language feels most natural to you.
