Students in the AVC Esthetics Lab
Esthetics is a unique program offered only at Annapolis Valley Campus. Practical training is done in our beautifully decorated Spa where the public is invited to come for services at a reduced fee. Our Campus community is small and has a family atmosphere where students and staff are known to each other on a first name basis.
Esthetics is an exciting, ever expanding field that has evolved into a variety of specialized services. Graduates of the program can obtain employment in Full Service Salons, Day Spa’s, Wellness Centers, Resorts, Cruise Ships and Medical Spa’s. You can advance your skills to become a Skin Care or Foot Care Specialist, a Nail Technician or a Make up Artist.

The Program is 1250 hours in length and is governed by The Cosmetology Association of Nova Scotia. There are two practical exams at the end of the program that will require you to have models.
The school day for Esthetics is 9:00 – 5:00 Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, Wednesday 9:00 – 9:00 and Friday 8:00 – 4:00. Wednesday’s we are open in the evenings offering services to the public.
All Esthetic students are required to have a white uniform and purchase a working kit that includes the implements and supplies needed to practice lab skills.
Each student at NSCC must develop a Portfolio that includes the skills they have learned and samples of their work. The Portfolio’s of past students have been instrumental in helping them obtain employment.
