After serving their country, many veterans seek meaningful, flexible, and purpose-driven careers. In Colorado, esthetics is quickly emerging as a top post-military path for veterans who want to channel their discipline, compassion, and commitment to helping others into a new profession.

Here's why more Colorado veterans are choosing esthetics—and why Elite Aesthetics Academy is their school of choice.

A Career That Gives Back

Veterans often carry a service-first mentality. Esthetics offers a unique way to continue that mission by helping others look and feel their best. Whether it’s boosting a client’s confidence or restoring skin health, estheticians make a visible difference in people’s lives.

Many veterans find this work incredibly rewarding, and the hands-on nature of skincare allows for both creativity and a sense of purpose that mirrors their values.

Key Benefits of Esthetics Careers for Veterans

  • Purpose-Driven Work: Veterans thrive when they know their work matters. Esthetics is not just cosmetic—it's care-based, confidence-building work.

  • Flexible Scheduling: Whether raising a family, attending school, or transitioning to civilian life, esthetics offers part-time, freelance, or full-time flexibility.

  • Entrepreneurship Opportunities: Estheticians can work for top medspas or start their own business, giving veterans autonomy and control over their career.

  • High Demand in Colorado: With a booming beauty and wellness industry, especially in Denver and surrounding areas, skilled estheticians are in high demand.

The Colorado Advantage

Colorado’s health-conscious, beauty-forward clientele creates strong demand for skincare professionals. Veterans who pursue licensure at Elite Aesthetics Academy can take advantage of this local growth while staying close to home and family.

The state's climate also creates unique skincare challenges—like dryness and sun exposure—that trained estheticians are equipped to address. This opens doors to specialized treatment niches and higher value services.
