Career Concierge
If you are not ready to be a Solopreneur yet and want to gain more experience in the industry we have personalized career counseling to help propel you into the career of your dreams. The Career Concierge provides a variety of career services that will help you connect with business professionals in beauty, film or special fx.
Exclusive Mentorship
Once you begin your journey we want to make sure that you have the resources necessary to be a successful student. We want you to be comfortable asking questions and seeking guidance from an industry professional. Upon enrollment each student will be assigned a professional mentor that aligns with their esthetics or cosmetology program.
