Why Winter Garden Residents Choose Hyphen's Esthetician Classes

  • Graduate in Just 10 Weeks - While other beauty schools extend programs to 5-6 months to maximize tuition, we follow Florida's exact 220-hour licensing requirement with zero filler. Attend just two days per week for 10-11 weeks and you're licensed.

  • 2-Day Weekly Schedule - Classes meet either Monday/Tuesday or Wednesday/Thursday from 9am-7pm. This schedule works well for our students who continue working while attending school.

  • Complete Investment: $4,540 - Your total tuition covers 220 hours of professional instruction, Dermalogica skincare product kit, lash application kit, unlimited online platform access, and all Florida state licensing and registration fees. Start with just $600 down, then make interest-free payments of approximately $1,100 monthly while attending classes. Graduate debt-free.

  • Hybrid Learning Model - All theory and lectures are accessible online 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 respected professional skincare brands in the industry. You'll also have the option to earn Dermalogica certification as part of your training, which employers specifically look for when hiring estheticians.

  • Small Classes, Individual Attention - We cap every class at 20 students maximum. Your instructors will know your name, understand your career goals, and provide personalized coaching on your technique. No competing with 50+ students for equipment or attention like at large corporate beauty schools.

  • Bilingual Instruction - All course content is available in both English and Spanish. Our instructors are fluent in both languages, so you can learn in whichever language you're most comfortable with.

  • Convenient Commute from Winter Garden - From downtown Winter Garden, take SR-50 East to I-4 North and exit at Lee Road (Exit 88). Hyphen is immediately visible from I-4. Drive time averages 25–30 minutes.

Career Opportunities for Winter Garden Estheticians

Winter Garden and Ocoee are experiencing rapid growth, creating expanding opportunities for licensed estheticians. Your Florida license opens diverse career paths:

  • Resort & Spa Services – Local resorts and wellness centers along SR-535 and near Disney hire estheticians for year-round guest services.

  • Medical & Wellness Clinics – A growing number of medspas in Windermere, Ocoee, and Orlando seek licensed skincare professionals.

  • Makeup & Bridal Artistry – Winter Garden’s scenic venues and proximity to Disney make it a hub for destination weddings and events.

  • Lash & Brow Studios – Demand for lash lifts, tinting, and brow sculpting continues to rise throughout Central Florida.

  • Mobile Spa or Suite Ownership – Many Hyphen graduates open their own spa suites or mobile service businesses.

Winter Garden's proximity to Disney and Orlando's tourism industry creates strong demand for licensed estheticians. Starting salaries range from $40,000-$48,000, with experienced estheticians in resort spas or running their own businesses earning $65,000-$95,000+.

Many students continue with the Full Specialist Program to expand their career opportunities, as many larger spas prefer versatile specialists who can perform both skincare and nail services.

Student Testimonials
