Humber’s Esthetician/Spa Management diploma program gives students the business management and vocational skills they need for a career in the $94 billion industry (Global Spa Industry, 2015). On the business side, learn the fundamentals of business writing, marketing, retail operation and day-to-day spa management. Hands-on courses focus on traditional services such as nail care technologies, advanced facial techniques, waxing, body treatments and makeup applications. As well, students will learn advanced medical esthetic services such as OxyGeneo, microdermabrasion, chemical peels, laser and Intense Pulse Light (IPL). At Humber, students will practise what they are learning and improve their vocational skills at The Humber Spa, a simulated work environment and retail boutique open to the community. Working under the guidance of qualified lab technicians, students will manage the administrative functions of the spa, including frontline responsibilities, retail operations and providing spa services. Students will provide a series of treatments including facials, hand and foot care, and body treatments to clientele. Two work placements offer students experience working with clients. The placements will be onsite at The Humber Spa. In the first semester, students will be introduced to spa management and client services, physiology of the skin, and professional skin care, and begin to train in traditional esthetic services. In second semester, they will study computer applications, advanced facial techniques, waxing services and nail care. Later in the program, students will study marketing, cosmetic applications, human resource management and medical spa services.
