Why Ocoee Students Choose Hyphen's Esthetician School

  • Easy Commute – From Ocoee, take FL-408 E to I-4 E, exit at Lee Rd (Exit 88), right on Lee Rd, then immediate right onto N Wymore Rd. Our campus is visible from I-4. Average drive time: 25 minutes.

  • Graduate in 10 weeks - 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 weeks and you're licensed and working.

  • All-Inclusive Tuition: $4,540 - Your tuition covers everything: 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.

  • 2-Day per Week Schedule - Classes meet either Monday/Tuesday or Wednesday/Thursday from 9am-7pm. This schedule works perfectly for our students - most of which continue working while attending school.

When you come to campus, 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 - Train on the Dermalogica lineup, one of the industry’s most respected pro brands. Optional Dermalogica certification helps your résumé stand out with Orlando medspas and resort spas.

  • Small Classes, More Attention - Cohorts are capped at 20 so instructors can coach technique and speed—no competing with 50+ students for equiptment and tables.
