HydraFacial is jumpstarting the beauty health careers of black, indigenous or people of color (BIPOC) aestheticians by awarding one HydraFacial Connect Certification scholarship every month between July 2021 – July 2022. The CONNECT certification takes all the foundational components of being a skin health pro and layers in skills you don’t learn in aesthetic school, like business building, marketing, cross-selling, social media, networking, mentoring, and leadership. It’s a 3-level program and with each level, content grows increasingly more complex as participants will be challenged to demonstrate their new knowledge and skills with video assessments and other homework assignments while receiving personalized coaching from HydraFacial Training & Education Managers. The program is primarily online and self-paced, but once our students reach Expert Level 2, HydraFacial asks them to participate in HFX, HydraFacial’s 2-day live flagship training. Because HFX is the heart of HydraFacial’s education offering, attendance at a live event really brings it all together for the esthetician and includes live hands-on training, which is critical to success. The program also qualifies for continuing education in most states that require continuing education units. The program is also NCEA accredited and BPPE accredited by the state of California as a private post-secondary education institution – a nod to HydraFacial’s instructional quality. Any licensed U.S. estheticians and cosmetologists can find out more and sign up for HydraFacial’s “You’re Glowing” scholarships and learn about the eligibility requirements, or fill out an application here: https://hydrafacial.com/connect-scholarship/. https://hydrafacial.com/connect-scholarship/
