Esthetician school is a type of school that provides training and education for individuals who want to become estheticians. Estheticians are professionals who provide cosmetic skin care services, such as facials, skin treatments, and advanced exfoliation.

The New York School of Esthetics, John Paolo’s, and Atelier Institute are some of the esthetician schools in New York that offer training programs for aspiring estheticians.
