At Elite Aesthetics Academy in Denver, Colorado, we offer a comprehensive 600-hour esthetician course that blends classroom learning, clinical training, and hands-on experience in a supportive environment.

Whether you dream of working in a spa, medspa, or launching your own skincare studio, this program will give you the foundation you need to succeed.
What Is a 600-Hour Esthetician Course?
In Colorado, all estheticians must complete a state-approved 600-hour training program to qualify for licensure through the Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA).
At Elite Aesthetics Academy, our program covers every aspect of esthetics — from skin anatomy and facial techniques to waxing, makeup artistry, and business skills. You’ll also receive extensive hands-on training in our on-site spa clinic to gain real-world experience.
Course Overview: What You’ll Learn
Our 600-hour esthetician course is designed to help you master both the art and science of skincare. The curriculum combines theory, demonstration, and practice, preparing you to work confidently in spas, salons, or medical settings.
Core Curriculum Includes:
1. Skin Anatomy and Physiology
Understand how the skin functions, how to identify common conditions, and how to provide personalized treatment plans for different skin types. You’ll learn about the layers of the skin, the effects of aging, and how products interact at a cellular level.
2. Facial Techniques and Treatments
From classic European facials to modern skincare technologies, you’ll gain hands-on training in cleansing, exfoliation, extractions, and hydration techniques. Learn to use professional equipment like high frequency, galvanic current, LED therapy, and microdermabrasion devices.
3. Hair Removal and Waxing
Master the art of waxing for the face and body — including brows, lips, legs, and Brazilian areas — while maintaining strict hygiene and sanitation standards. You’ll learn to minimize discomfort and deliver smooth, professional results every time.
4. Makeup Application and Color Theory
Develop the skills to create beautiful, customized makeup looks for all skin tones and occasions. You’ll also learn proper sanitation, brush care, and product selection for professional artistry.
5. Product Knowledge and Ingredient Science
Become fluent in skincare formulations, active ingredients, and how to customize regimens for different skin types and concerns. This knowledge helps you recommend products that truly make a difference for clients.
6. Business and Client Relations
Learn how to build long-term client relationships, manage appointments, and grow your reputation as a professional esthetician. We’ll also cover pricing, marketing, and the basics of running your own business in Colorado.
Hands-On Experience in a Real Spa Environment
One of the highlights of the Elite Aesthetics Academy experience is the hands-on clinical training in our on-site student spa.
Under instructor supervision, you’ll perform real treatments on actual clients — learning how to adapt your techniques to different skin types, personalities, and needs. This real-world practice builds confidence, skill, and professionalism long before graduation.
Students love our clinic because it feels just like working in a luxury spa or medspa — only with guidance every step of the way.
Preparing for the State Board Exam
We know how important it is to feel confident when it’s time to take your licensing exam. That’s why we’ve built state board preparation right into our curriculum.
You’ll participate in:
Mock practical exams that simulate the real testing environment
Written exam review sessions to reinforce theory concepts
One-on-one coaching with instructors for personalized feedback
Our graduates consistently achieve high pass rates on Colorado’s esthetician exams, thanks to the structured, supportive preparation provided throughout the program.
