What Is Skin Science Institute?

Updated

Skin Science Institute is an esthetics and beauty school with campuses in Sandy and Orem, Utah. It offers hands-on training in skincare, lashes, brows, and makeup, plus continuing education and a student-run spa. It is aimed at people who want to become licensed estheticians or working estheticians who want to add advanced skills.

What the school offers

The site lists several programs under its esthetics courses:

Program Hours
Lash & Brow Technician 270
Intermediate Master Esthetician 600
Comprehensive Master Esthetics 1200
Instructor Internship 420

The 270-hour Lash & Brow Technician program is described as preparing students for licensure and professional employment in lash, brow, and facial waxing services. The school also advertises advanced esthetics and cosmetic injections, where students assist with procedures such as cosmetic injections and dermaplaning to gain medical spa experience.

Where it is located

Skin Science Institute operates two Utah campuses:

  • Sandy
  • Orem

Both campuses host the student spa, and tours can be scheduled at either location.

The student spa

The school runs a professional student spa at both the Sandy and Orem campuses. Treatments are performed by students under licensed supervision, and the site describes them as high-end skincare and medical esthetic services offered at reduced prices.

Continuing education

For working estheticians, the school offers advanced skincare training and specialty certification courses intended to expand service offerings. This is separate from the initial licensure programs.

Funding and next steps

The site directs prospective students to a financial aid specialist for a free consultation covering grants, loans, and funding options for esthetician training in Utah. It also offers a free info packet and campus tours covering class schedules, tuition, and financial aid. A payment page exists for making payments, but the site does not publish specific tuition figures in the material reviewed here.

If you are comparing esthetics schools in Utah, the main things to verify directly are current tuition, schedule format, licensure requirements for your target role, and whether the advanced or injection-related training matches the services you intend to offer.
