How We Help You Launch Your Esthetician Career

Our school was founded on the principle that beauty graduates should be salon- or spa-ready as much as possible when they graduate, not just ready for an exam. The entire team at Nathan Layne Institute walks the talk in preparing you for this: in fact, you’ll start building your client base during your program, right from our spa.

We encourage our students to develop their resumes and begin building their business before graduation, whatever their career goals in the world of skincare. Our aim is for you to leave Nathan Layne Institute with not just a diploma, but a well-rounded foundation to step into the role of a professional esthetician.
