Why Denver Is the Perfect Place to Become an Esthetician
Denver is known for its active, outdoor lifestyle — but with high altitude and 300 days of sunshine, the city’s unique climate also makes skincare a high priority. Dryness, UV exposure, and environmental stressors drive demand for estheticians who understand Colorado skin.
As the wellness industry continues to grow, estheticians are becoming indispensable in spas, medical offices, and cosmetic clinics throughout the Denver metro area. Graduates from top-rated schools like Elite Aesthetics Academy often find immediate opportunities because the city’s beauty and wellness economy is thriving.
Plus, Denver’s community of licensed estheticians is one of the most supportive and collaborative in the country — making it the perfect city to start or grow your career in aesthetics.
What You’ll Learn at Elite Aesthetics Academy
Our 600-hour esthetician course is approved by the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA) and designed to give you both foundational and advanced skills in skincare.
Here’s a look at what’s covered:

Understand how the skin functions at a cellular level — knowledge that helps you analyze, treat, and maintain skin health safely and effectively.
2. Facials and Advanced Skincare Treatments
Master cleansing, exfoliation, extractions, massage, masks, and hydration protocols using professional-grade products. You’ll also learn modern treatments like LED light therapy and microdermabrasion.
3. Waxing and Hair Removal
Learn precise waxing techniques for the face and body, including brows, lips, and Brazilian waxing, all while maintaining the highest standards of sanitation and comfort.
4. Makeup Application and Color Theory
Discover the fundamentals of makeup artistry, color correction, contouring, and product selection for different skin tones and occasions.
5. Product Knowledge and Ingredient Science
Gain an in-depth understanding of active ingredients, product formulations, and how to customize regimens based on skin type and condition.
6. Business and Client Relations
Develop communication, client retention, and marketing skills to help you succeed whether you work for a spa or start your own business.

Comprehensive review sessions for theory and practical skills
Instructor-led tutorials for exam strategies and stress management
We celebrate every student’s success — from enrollment to licensure and beyond. Our goal is to make your transition from classroom to career as seamless as possible.
