Frequently Asked Questions
What is the average age of your students?
The average of our student is about 25 years old. Students range from 16 years old to 50 years young and none of them have felt out of place. With women looking for future security and/or going back to school for a new career, Master Esthetics tends to attracts a more focused student in comparison to some beauty school programs. They tend to love beauty and skincare and have a passion for the industry.
How much can I make as a Master Esthetician?
What are you and your skills worth? In this industry, depending on where you are located, you can literally make from ‘minimum wage’ all the way up to $500.00 per hour. Yes, really! The women that trained Diane, charged $500.00 and more, per treatment. That, obviously, is not typical for our Utah based businesses, however, the compensation a successful graduate may reasonably expect as a Master Esthetician does vary. Based on the U.S. Department of Labor statistics, the average salary for an Esthetician is between $7.32 - $24.88 per hour or $15,230.00 to $51,750.00 annually. Most often an Esthetician or Master Esthetician is paid on commission, and the commission earned is estimated between 20% to 60% per service. The average price of a facial is, per industry and public studies, $100.00. Therefore, based on the average, Master Estheticians paid on commission working full time, can average between, $33,600 - $100,000 per year. A Master Esthetician may reasonably expect to earn a good living, a supplementary second income, or may choose to just earn a little extra income on the side.
