  • Dermatology & Medspas – The Wekiva Springs and Heathrow areas have growing medspas and dermatology offices seeking trained estheticians for advanced skincare support.

  • Makeup & Bridal Artistry – Central Florida’s wedding market — including venues in Sanford, Maitland, and Winter Park — offers consistent income for estheticians skilled in makeup artistry.

  • Lash & Brow Studios – Boutique studios around Crane’s Roost and SR-434 offer strong demand for lash lifts and brow services.

  • Mobile or Suite Ownership – Longwood and Altamonte have numerous beauty suites ideal for Hyphen grads starting independent practices.
