Why Brooklyn Students Choose Our Skincare Classes

Finding skincare classes in the Brooklyn NYC that are professional, accredited, and fully specialized in skin care is not easy. Most beauty schools in New York City teach skin care as a secondary subject inside a broader cosmetology program.
At Brittany Beauty Academy, it is different. Our esthetics program is completely dedicated to the skin. Every class hour, every salon practice session, and every evaluation revolves around skin care. Our specialized skin care classes train you to be an expert — not just a technician.

Specialized Skin Care Classes — Not a General Beauty Course

There is an important difference between learning skin care as part of a general beauty course and taking specialized skin care classes. In a cosmetology program, skin care is one section. In our esthetics program, skin care is the entire program.
That means you get more practice hours in skin analysis, more exposure to different skin types and conditions, and a deeper understanding of the science behind treatments. When you graduate, you are a specialist. That specialization has real value in the NYC job market.

Award-Winning — Best of Brooklyn 2025 & 2026

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.

Schedule Options for Skincare Classes in the Brooklyn NYC

Our skincare classes in the Brooklyn NYC offer schedules designed to fit the real lives of students in NYC. The full program is 600 hours. You can attend as few as 12 hours per week or go full-time — the pace is yours to decide.

Day and Evening Classes Available

Day classes are available Monday through Saturday for students whose evenings are already taken up by work or family. Evening classes run until 10:00 PM on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. They are ideal if you work during the day or have family responsibilities in the mornings in NYC.
Both options cover exactly the same specialized skin care class curriculum. Both lead to exactly the same New York State esthetician license. The only difference is the schedule — and you choose the one that works best for your life.

Student Testimonials

Our students are the best reflection of the quality of our skincare classes in the Brooklyn. Here is what some of them say about their experience at Brittany Beauty Academy, NYC.

Online portion of the session was AMAZING with MS SHEILA She goes over the theory portion so in depth and even has you doing hands on services during the zoom class that allows you to feel MORE THAN PREPARED for when you hit the senior floor and start taking clients. When you get on the floor, make sure to learn as much as you can with Ms Yona. She’s INCREDIBLY and so passionate about what she does

What Our Skincare Classes in the Brooklyn, NYC Cover

Our skincare classes in the Brooklyn, NYC follow the complete New York State esthetics curriculum. Every topic required for the State Esthetician Licensing Exam is covered in depth. But more importantly — every topic is taught with a clinical, skin-specialized focus. Here is what you will study:

Skin Physiology and Anatomy

Classes begin at the root. Before you ever touch a client’s skin, you will learn how skin works from the inside out. You will study the layers of the skin, its glands, follicles, circulation systems, and cellular regeneration processes.
Understanding the biology of skin gives you an advantage that goes far beyond technique. It lets you read what the skin is telling you, identify conditions that require medical referral, and adapt your treatments to each client’s real needs. This scientific foundation is what separates estheticians trained in specialized skin care classes from those who only learn surface-level steps.

Professional Skin Analysis and Client Consultation

Skin analysis classes teach you to evaluate a client’s skin condition with professional precision. You will learn to identify different skin types — normal, oily, dry, combination, and sensitive — as well as common conditions such as acne, rosacea, hyperpigmentation, premature aging, and dehydration.
You will also learn to conduct complete professional consultations. You will know how to ask the right questions, listen actively, and design personalized treatment plans. In NYC, clients are demanding and informed. These classes prepare you to meet them at their level.

Advanced Professional Facial Treatments

The heart of our specialized skin care classes is professional facial treatments. You will learn to perform deep cleansing, mechanical and chemical exfoliation, professional extractions, facial massage with lymphatic drainage techniques, and the application of high-concentration serums, masks, and active treatments.
Every technique is taught in class and then practiced in the student salon with real clients from the Brooklyn, NYC. You will progress from practicing on mannequins to serving real clients under the direct supervision of your licensed instructor. That real-world experience is what makes our graduates ready to work from day one.

Waxing and Hair Removal Treatments

Hair removal classes cover complete professional techniques for the face and body. You will learn different wax types and their optimal application temperatures. You will study skin preparation protocols before waxing and proper post-treatment care to minimize irritation.
If you are interested in specializing even further in this area, you can also explore our specialized waxing program. Many estheticians in NYC add advanced hair removal services to expand their menu and increase income per appointment.

Professional Esthetic Equipment and Technology

Esthetic technology classes prepare you for the modern spa environment. You will learn to safely and effectively use equipment such as high-frequency devices, facial steamers, ultrasound machines, therapeutic LED light therapy, and other professional-use tools found in spas and skincare clinics across NYC.
You will understand safety protocols, proper equipment sanitation, and when each technology is indicated — and when it is not. This training is increasingly important as medical spas and advanced esthetic clinics expand throughout NYC.

Your Student Kit — Included with Skincare Classes

Every student who enrolls in our esthetics classes in the Brooklyn, NYC receives a complete professional student kit at the time of enrollment. It includes all the tools, implements, practice products, and textbooks you need to fully participate in the classes and practice at home.
Your kit is equipped with professional-grade materials used in real NYC spas and skincare clinics. It is yours to keep when you graduate. You start your career with the right tools already in your hands from the very first day.
