If skincare is your thing, our training is your launchpad. Cosmetology Training Center’s esthetics program is the perfect start to your future as a skincare professional. Beautiful skin isn’t just about appearances; it’s about feeling confident in one’s own skin. At Cosmetology Training Center, you will learn skincare protocols through demonstration before moving on to hands-on skill building. Once you are ready, you will start serving real guests with licensed-instructor support. Our 750-hour Esthetics program offers practical training that will help you move from classroom to clinic floor, with evening hours that work for you and your family.
Bring your focus and effort, and we’ll match it with coaching and community that will help you start a career in skincare and beauty.

Locally-owned and accredited, Cosmetology Training Center offers small class sizes and evening hours designed to fit around real life. Founded in 2023 by owner Brittani Pitre, an esthetician and spa owner with 18 years of industry experience, the program was built around the real-world skills and techniques today’s esthetics professionals need to succeed. From early in the program, you’ll work with guests under licensed supervision, so technique becomes second nature, and you will grow a portfolio of services.
We also offer ongoing career support, including help with your resume, interview practice, and local networking (employment isn’t guaranteed). Move from classroom to clients with confidence.

🎓Brianne & Alana | A Friendship That Became Part of the Story
They came to CTC to learn a trade, but they’re leaving with a friendship they didn’t know they’d find.🥹💖
Some of the best things that happen in life aren`t part of the plan. Sometimes, they`re the friendships that grow in the middle of an ordinary day, the person who makes the hard days a little easier, or the one who ends up standing right beside you when something wonderful happens.
For Brianne and Alana, CTC became the place where two individual journeys turned into a shared chapter, full of learning, memories, and a friendship that grew along the way. And how special is it that they got to celebrate this milestone together?
As they turn the page to what`s next, we hope they carry more than the skills they`ve learned here. We hope they carry the confidence to keep growing, the courage to chase the opportunities ahead, and the reminder that sometimes the people you meet along the way become just as meaningful as the destination itself.
Brianne & Alana, Congratulations!
-We`re so happy you found a little something extra here at CTC!
“Two graduates, one beautiful friendship, and a whole lot of possibilities ahead.”🥂✨

💄A little makeup, a little teamwork, and a whole lot of GLOW!
Our esthetics students teamed up for a daily makeup application, putting their skills into practice while creating a look that’s wearable, beautiful, and oh-so-glowy! Because learning the art of beauty means getting hands-on, trying new techniques, and building confidence one brush stroke at a time.
The goal? Enhancing natural beauty, one face at a time💋

-You drop your comb and instinctively reach down to grab it…
YOUR INSTRUCTOR HAS ENTERED THE CHAT🚨😂
-“ABSOLUTELY NOT. That comb belongs to the floor now!”
In cosmetology school, we don`t just teach you how to do hair…we teach you the rules of the beauty industry💆🏼♀️✨

✨Around here, a “regular” updo just won’t cut it!
Our Level 2 cosmetology students took on a themed updo challenge, and these girlies came READY to accessorize! From spooky season and Christmas cheer to Thanksgiving vibes and Strawberry Festival flair, they turned hairstyling into a whole creative production. 💇♀️✨
Because at CTC, a head of hair is never JUST hair… it’s a blank canvas, and our students aren’t afraid to think outside the box!
We need to know…which theme would YOU want to try?!

🎓A little rebel, a whole lotta heart, and now…A COSMETOLOGY GRADUATE!
Well, Zoe… look at you. 🥹🖤
Some people leave a little sparkle wherever they go. Others leave a little chaos, a whole lot of attitude, and absolutely ZERO apologies for being exactly who they are. And then there’s Zoe, who somehow manages to be all of that while having one of the biggest hearts around.
Zoe has always been unapologetically HERSELF, and honestly? We wouldn’t have it any other way. From that hard-core vibe to that signature sass, she brings a personality that you simply can’t duplicate. But underneath all that edge is a girl with so much heart, and anyone who has gotten to know her knows just how special she really is.
Getting to celebrate her graduation is bittersweet because while we’re SO excited to see her take on the beauty industry, we know there’s a little less Zoe-shaped chaos coming through our doors now. 😂🥹
Zoe, we hope you never feel the need to tone yourself down, fit into anyone else’s mold, or trade your individuality for someone else’s idea of who you should be. This industry has room for bold, different, creative souls like you, and we hope you use every bit of that personality to make your own mark on it.
Keep your edge. Keep your sass. Keep that big heart. And please, for everyone`s sake, never lose the ability to make people laugh!
Congratulations, Zoe! We love you, we’re proud of you, and we cannot WAIT to see what you do next. Go make some magic, do things your own way, and remind the world that being different is a pretty beautiful thing.
CTC will always be cheering for you, you little legend.🖤🤘🏼

✨Congratulations Rylie!
-There’s something really special about watching someone reach a moment they once had to imagine. 🥹
Today, we get to celebrate Rylie—not just because she completed her hours or reached the finish line, but because she can now look back and see just how much has changed along the way.
The early mornings, the long days, the learning curves, the little victories, the moments of doubt, the friendships, the laughter, and all the time spent behind the chair have brought her to *this* day. And now, she gets to take everything she’s learned and make it her own.
Rylie, we hope you leave CTC knowing that your time here was about more than learning a skill. You were building confidence, finding your voice, and becoming the beauty professional you’re meant to be.
We’re so proud of you, Rylie! Go make some magic! Your next chapter starts now🪄

🫧TWEEN FACIALS ARE ON THE MENU!
Our esthetics students recently got some hands-on practice performing our Tween Facial—and they were ALL about those skincare skills!
Using IMAGE Skincare’s BIOME+ and ORMEDIC products, our students learned how to customize a gentle, age-appropriate facial experience while putting their classroom knowledge into practice.
From product selection to every relaxing step of the facial, our future estheticians are learning that great skincare starts with understanding the skin and treating it with care.
And can we just appreciate these little skincare pros in action?! 👏🏼💕
Learning today. Skincare pros tomorrow.✨
