What our Graduates are Saying:
|
I chose to attend the Institute of Advanced Medical Esthetics because I felt that this would be the best school in Virginia to obtain Both my Basic and Master license. The Director Laura Todd has done so much for esthetics in Virginia and continues to do so. The instructors will make sure you are well prepared for whatever esthetics career you chose to pursue after you graduate. With the smaller class sizes the instructors are able to give each student individualized attention and help them when needed. I am very pleased with my experience here and would highly suggest anyone who is looking to become an Esthetician choose the Institute of Advanced Medical Esthetics. - Devan Graduate

I decided to attend the Institute of Advanced Medical Esthetics because the school was accredited and because of Laura Todd's impact on the esthetic community. I wanted a career where I could be my own boss. It was at Institute of Advanced Medical Esthetics where I truly found my passion for skin care. I was not only taught great esthetic skills, but business skills as well. Because of what I learned in the Master Esthetician program I was able to start my own successful business. I get to help people every day with their skin issues and building their confidence. Since being out of school and speaking with other estheticians I've come to realize just how much more I learned than students who attended other schools. I receive compliments all of the time "you are the best esthetician I've ever been to". I know I owe that all to Laura Todd. I am truly grateful for the education I received from Laura Todd and her entire staff. -Audra Graduate

I could not be happier changing careers to become a Master Esthetician. Having dual licensure not only allows me to stand out in the job market, but also gives me the qualifications and expertise to treat a wide variety of skin conditions that a Basic Esthetician cannot. Working in a dermatologist's office, I also see patients with chronic skin diseases such as rosacea, and guiding them through the process to better skin health with the doctor's cooperation has been especially rewarding. I absolutely do not believe I could have made it to where I am without my training at the Institute of Advanced Medical Esthetics. The curriculum that goes above and beyond the state minimum requirements for licensure gives me a knowledge base that puts me above my competitors, and my patients can see it. Building trust between yourself and your patients is critical to success in this industry. - Richard Graduate
