Esthetics Course in the Bronx NYC

Yes — absolutely. New York City has one of the most active beauty and wellness markets in the world. A New York State esthetician license from an accredited school gives you the credentials to work in top spas, skincare clinics, and medical spas in the city. Licensed estheticians in NYC have strong earning potential and many build their own businesses over time.

The course at Brittany Beauty Academy requires 600 hours in total. Full-time students can finish in approximately five months. Part-time students who attend fewer hours per week take longer. We offer flexible schedules to fit your life. Contact our admissions team to estimate your completion date.
