Why Choose Hyphen's Esthetician Course

  • 2-Day per Week 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.

  • Licensed 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.

  • 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.

  • Easy Commute - Hyphen's campus is right off I-4 at Lee Road (exit 88). It is easily accessible for anyone along the I-4 corridor.

Career Opportunities for Estheticians

Orlando's tourism market continues to experience rapid growth, creating expanding opportunities for licensed estheticians. Your Florida license opens diverse career paths:

  • Resort & Spa Services - There is a constant need for estheticians to service the large hotels, resorts, vacation homes, and short-term rentals serving Disney and Universal visitors. Mobile estheticians bring services directly to vacationers, providing facials, waxing, and makeup for special occasions and theme park visits.

  • Medical Spas & Dermatology - Advanced aesthetics practices are opening throughout Orlando, offering higher compensation and exposure to treatments like microneedling, chemical peels, and laser services.

  • Day Spas & Salons - Full-service salons and day spas throughout Orlando increasingly add esthetician services to meet resident demand.

  • Bridal & Destination Wedding Services - With Disney, resort venues, and destination wedding locations throughout the area, skilled estheticians can build profitable businesses serving bridal parties and special events.

  • Lash & Brow Studios - Specialty studios focusing on lashes and brows are opening in Orlando's growing retail centers, offering both employment and entrepreneurial opportunities.

  • Spa Ownership: Build experience, then open your own day spa or skincare clinic

The natural grown of Orlando's population along with the growth of 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.
