Laser Hair Removal Schools

Laser hair removal schools can be stand-alone institutions or part of a larger cosmetology or aesthetician college. These schools are regulated on a state level (not a national level), so requirements and standards can vary across the country. The depth of training required also fluctuates from program to program. While some laser hair removal schools offer basic training in one to two days, more rigorous colleges may require up to 40 or even 100 hours of training time.

The material taught at laser hair removal schools will vary by institution, but the same core information is usually covered. This can include skin typing (discerning a client's skin type and helping them choose the best methods for laser hair removal), laser equipment operation, and aftercare. Some schools also require coursework on the theory and science behind laser hair removal.

Key Factors When Comparing Laser Hair Removal Schools

When choosing among laser hair removal schools, one important factor to keep in mind is the experience of the faculty. Ideally, all faculty members or program instructors should have completed a rigorous training program and have a few years of laser treatment experience under their belts. Schools should also have up-to-date equipment. Laser equipment has a relatively high turnover rate, meaning that the machines of five years ago are very different from today's machines. Being trained on the latest innovations is your key to success, so be sure to inquire about the exact models you'll be working with.

Another factor to keep in mind is the cost of attending laser hair removal schools. The cost of tuition at laser hair removal schools can range up to $5,000, but between $2,000 and $3,000 is typical.
