Why Winter Garden Residents Choose Hyphen's Esthetician School

  • 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.

  • Affordable Tuition: $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 - All lectures are accessible online through our eLearning platform. When you come to campus, dive straight into hands-on work: performing facials, waxing, makeup application, and lash treatments 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.

  • Smaller Classes, More 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.

  • 25-minute 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.
