“As a former college/university professor (20 years) turned tattoo artist (2016-Present) becoming a clinical esthetician was never something that I would have even considered. But here I am, at 46 years of age, proving that you really can teach an old dog new tricks! I began the program in 2023 with the sole purpose of obtaining a qualification so that I could offer Tattoo Laser Removal services at my studio in Claresholm, Alberta.
However, I had to take several pre-requisites first including a pre-entry interview with Ms. Vanessa DeMello. With so many schools offering similar services I chose The Esthetic Institute because of its award winning status and equally as important, they are recognized by Alberta Health Service (AHS). They are also a CIDESCO recognized school and hence their teachers taught on both programs. Being internationally recognized and being held to such a high standard was important to me.
Completing the Advanced Diploma in Clinical Esthetics was as rewarding an experience as was completing my honours degrees in Anthropology and Sociology respectively. The teachers are passionate and dedicated and put many of my former colleagues to shame. Knowledgeable, professional, and intuitive, I was not only pleasantly surprised with the caliber of education but also impressed by how I, a 240lb and heavily tattooed bald (sadly) yet bearded (at the time) man was accepted by staff, teachers, and students alike.
From my very first meeting with Vanessa, I was made to feel welcomed and found myself making connections that I didn’t expect to make. Equally, I was delighted with how structured and engaging every class was. The course assessments, practicals, and exams reflected not only theory but real world practice as well. As someone who entered the program not understanding what a facial would or could entail, (let alone how it could possibly take an hour to complete), to being heavily inspired to open an entirely new clinical Esthetics business in conjunction with my existing services, it speaks volumes of the quality of instructors that I had.
