What a Morning at Esthetician School Looks Like

The day at Tricoci University’s esthetician program starts with a structured morning routine. After arriving and settling in, students can expect a morning meeting to discuss the day’s agenda. This is a chance to go over the schedule, review any clinic assignments, and touch base on relevant topics related to your training. This collaborative environment ensures you’re always in the loop and prepared for the day ahead.

Common Daily Tasks for Esthetics Students

Typically, you’ll split your day between the classroom and the clinic salon, giving you a well-rounded education that covers all the necessary bases. While hands-on practice is essential, the classroom component is where you’ll build a deep understanding of skincare science, techniques, and the business of beauty.

In the classroom, you’ll engage in a variety of learning activities, such as:

Theory Lessons. Learn about skin anatomy, the layers of the skin, and how various treatments affect different skin types. These foundational lessons are critical to understanding how to deliver effective skincare treatments.

Product Knowledge. You’ll dive into the science behind the professional products you’ll use in the clinic, from serums to exfoliants, and learn how to choose the right products for each client.

Technique Demonstrations. Instructors will demonstrate advanced techniques, such as dermaplaning, chemical peels, and microdermabrasion, so you can see how they’re performed before practicing in the clinic.

Business and Professional Development. Beyond skincare, your education will also include business training, covering topics like client consultation, time management, and how to build a successful esthetics career.

These classroom sessions lay the groundwork for your hands-on training, ensuring that you understand the “why” behind each technique and treatment. Additionally, these tasks allow you to build confidence, practice in real-world scenarios, and prepare you for your state licensure exam and future career.
