HEADS UP! Stuff you ABSOLUTELY need to know BEFORE you sign up for ANY Esthetics program in Alaska! In (2006) 111 students took the Alaska State Board Esthetics Exam, but only 39 passed. This means that 72 didn't pass! This puts the pass rate for Alaska at 35% while the national average is 63%. (But this 35% includes our 100% pass rate, so just imagine how terrible it really is without our 100% skewing it higher!) This means that just in 2006, these students wasted almost half a million dollars... supporting schools... that do not teach... what their students paid them to teach! Last year wasn't much better either! These stats don't even mention the fact that many of those that passed the state board exam still don't have a clue what they are doing, it just means that they finally passed the state board exam! Don't be one of them! Find out what the pass/fail rate is for ANY school you attend! Our State Board pass rate is - (BOTH Written and Practical) 2006 100%! 2007 100%! 2008... 100% so far, we'll keep you posted! Well, it finally happened. We had our very first esto student flunk the state board written exam, but they passed the practical exam. AND, they only missed passing by 1 point! I'm very bummed out by this, but perhaps I should be more like the other school owners and celebrate when a student DOES finally pass the boards? Jan & Feb 2008
  Did we mention that we've also had a 100% placement rate since the year 2000?

"Layered Learning Concept" Our students are so successful because we use the "layered learning concept" where the materials needed to pass the state board exam, and indeed, to be successful in a salon / spa are presented several times, several ways, and in several mediums. It works! Theory - Skill Goals - Clinic Floor - Internet Portal - Individual Study We have "theory" nearly every day, which is the book work portion of our program which helps prepare you for your career and the state board exam. We also have a "weekly skill goal" which is the hands on teaching portion of our program which helps prepare you for your career and your real life experience in a salon or spa. The schedule of skill goals can be seen here. The "clinic floor" is where our students perform esthetic services for our clients. We have materials for our students available on the Internet at the top of this page. Our students are given a password and a log-on name so that they can access this information. Our students are given study materials that they can study at school, at home, anywhere they like. |
We use several educational resources as part of our curriculum.

In our Esthetician
program you will also receive and train on your OWN machine
(which will either be an A.V.S. Radium or similar machine.) (Student Kit Machine at Station) The eight-function facial machine (or similar machine) is part of the esthetician student kit which includes high frequency (with multi probes), galvanic (with multi electrodes), spray, herbal spray, lighted magnification loupe, Wood's lamp, and vacuum (multi) functions. The student kit also contains manual facial components which include brushes, Pharmagel products, cape, applicators, spatulas, cotton, gloves, paper goods, study center materials, etc.
Students in the Esthetician program will train on of several cutting-edge technology photon-kinetic-energy machines, which helps reduce pigment discolorations, reduces telangiectasis, smooths out wrinkles and reduces pore size. These devices are also highly effective on acne outbreaks and activate the production of collagen and new skin cells, and improves skin flexibility while helping to expel lymphoid toxins and increasing blood circulation. These Photon Devices utilize both red and blue LED's. This machine helps to eliminate wrinkles, stimulates the skin to produce collagen and to regenerate skin cells, improves the overall health of the skin, and increases the skin's elasticity. These syngeristic photon devices also help to reduce pigment spots, and chloasma and aids in evening out skin tones. The blue, limited range (415 nm) LED's penetrate the skin and the light's antibacterial nature attacks the proprionibacterium acne bacteria that causes acne. The red, limited range (660nm) LED's soothe the skin, eliminate actinic keratoses, and help to reduce painful acne inflammation by stimulating fibroblast proliferation while helping to speed the skin ability to heal itself. Unlike many other acne lamps, these lights produce no UV light and also help to even out the tone and texture of the skin. These lights work on most mild to moderate acne cases with a reported 70% to 76% success.
