Not all facial training courses in Brooklyn, NYC are the same. There are weekend workshops and short certificates that teach you basic steps. And then there is the complete professional esthetics training that gives you the knowledge, the practice hours, and the credential that NYC employers actually value.
At Brittany Beauty Academy, facial treatments are the core of our 600-hour esthetics program. They are not an optional module. They are not a secondary section. Facials — their science, their techniques, and their clinical application — are the backbone of everything we teach.
Brittany Beauty Academy has been voted Best Trade School in Brooklyn two years in a row — 2025 and 2026 — by the community that knows us best. This is a community award, voted on by real Brooklyn residents who have seen firsthand what our school means to students and families in neighborhoods like Canarsie, Bay Ridge, Flatbush, and East New York.
Back-to-back wins reflect something consistent: quality instructors, strong programs, real outcomes, and a school that genuinely cares about the people it serves.
