Frequently Asked Questions

Courses

Our courses are designed to be flexible, so they can take as long or as short as your schedule allows. Our theory is always online, and our students take roughly one week per module. Then the practicum portion is up to 1 week in the clinic from 9:00 am-5:00 pm.

All of our courses require a laptop or tablet, as our theory and exams are online. You will be required to bring a laptop or tablet to your practicum so that you can take the practicum final. Other than that, it is recommended that you bring a notebook, pens, and pencils. In addition, you will need scrub-like clothes (leggings, trousers, yoga pants) and sneakers (not platform) so that you can work comfortably as you practice the modalities.

Yes! Because of the flexible nature of the course, you can take all of the theory from the comfort of your own home. Then, when you’re ready for your practicum, you simply travel to our location for one week or less.

Unfortunately, we don’t offer refunds. If you have an issue with your course, we recommend that you contact our customer service team so that they can help you.

Services

We opened our space with the mindset of education and professional development, so every client that comes through our clinic we treat like a model. Consequently, we have discounted our services to reflect that students would be administering them.

We do allow potential clients to pre-purchase services. However, some services (ie. cosmetic injectables) are not eligible for pre-purchase.

We do not refund services as they are already heavily discounted. However, if you have an issue such as a new-found contraindication, then we can transfer the dollar amount paid over to a safer alternative service.

We do not allow exchanges of services for cash, gift card, or products. However, if you have an issue such as a new-found contraindication, then we can transfer the dollar amount paid over to a safer alternative service.

IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light. Similarly to lasers, it uses light energy to target and minimize a concern. Many treatments that used to require painful lasers can now be done virtually pain-free thanks to IPL. We use it for hair removal, acne, pigmentation, and aging. However, some treatments like tattoo removal do require a laser.

Fractional Ablation is another way of saying laser resurfacing. Using the laser, we create controlled micro-wounds in the skin to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin.

Also known as a Hollywood Facial, this is a treatment in which the medical aesthetician will apply a carbon mask to the skin to pull out impurities and zap it away with a laser to simultaneously exfoliate. This is a great treatment option for those with acne, clogged pores, dull skin, or texture. It is very comfortable and requires very little downtime.

Chemical Peels come in a variety of depths and use different ingredients to help with specific concerns. Most of our chemical peels are a shallower depth and work microscopically under the skin. However, we do offer various depths of our chemical peels. Perfect Derma Peel is a specific brand of medium-depth chemical peel that has a patented blend of ingredients to achieve results for deeper wrinkles, and more severe pigmentation (such as melasma), acne, and scarring.

Dermaplaning uses a scalpel to gently exfoliate the upper layers of dead skin by dragging the blade at a 45 degree angle across the surface. This leaves the skin brighter, smoother, and allows skincare to seep in deeper.

Microneedling, also known as collagen-induction therapy, uses several small needles to create controlled micro-wounds in the skin in order to stimulate the new production of collagen and elastin. This treatment helps with fine lines, pigmentation, and texture.

Microblading is a form of permanent makeup tattooing method used to create fuller brows. We do not offer permanent makeup services or education.

Microdermabrasion is another method of exfoliation in which the medical aesthetician will apply an abrasive substance to the skin. We do not offer microdermabrasion services or education.

Location

If you are a student who will be spending 3+ hours a day at our space, we recommend that you park on one of the numbered avenues (5th ave, 6th ave) in appropriate spaces or in the Value Village lot. Do not park on Broad Street in the bus lane between 3:30 and 5:30 pm. If you are a model who is coming for a shorter service (2 hours or less) there is plenty of 2 hour parking in the area. Please note, the parking lot attached to the building is private and vehicles found in those spaces will be towed by the building.

Our address is 1118 Broad Street. We share our lovely building with Honeycomb Hair, Captive Media, and other businesses. You’ll open the front door on Broad Street. To your right, there is signage indicating that we are on the 4th floor. When you climb the stairs up to the fourth floor, you’ll be greeted by our receptionist who will direct you to our space.

The building has a newly updated industrial elevator located at the back of the building. There is also an accompanying ramp. Please call us when you arrive, and our staff will bring the elevator down to you. Please note we share the elevator with the other businesses in the building and it requires some extra knowledge to use. Therefore, we will only be offering the elevator to our models who have difficulties with mobility/using stairs. If you do not have trouble using the stairs, we kindly request that you do not ask for the elevator. Thank you.
