Are There Any Men In Esthetics School?

By Roxy Albright


Yes, some men do attend esthetics school. But why might some people be asking this question? Men can often feel uncomfortable when they have an interest in the esthetics (or aesthetics) industry. For many years, it has certainly been a female dominated profession. However, these days it is not as uncommon to see a male enrolling at an injection or laser institute to learn to provide medical esthetic treatments. The male experience in esthetics school (while not universally the same), could often be a surprisingly positive experience to many who still see it as a female education arena.

We shall discuss multiple men who've been or intend to be estheticians. We shall first examine two men who've worked in esthetics and unearthed that being male was an edge. We shall then discuss an aesthetician that found that it was not always great being a male in esthetics school. Finally, we shall discuss why men attending schools such as this can be a little more common than in yesteryear.

On a web community numerous male estheticians or men in esthetics school responded to a guy who asked a question about whether there have been any men in the aesthetics arena. One man replied he had retired after being a practicing esthetician for forty-two years. He suggested that being male was a competitive edge in his opinion. Still another commenter was recently graduated from an esthetics institute and elaborated how it may be an edge. He said that he was unique in his region and that many female clients favored him for his alternative perspective. He also claimed that for medical aesthetics job hunting, being a man helped him get a job offer quickly after graduating. He continued that he felt happy about males being more welcome in the beauty world than they previously had been.

Many a man seeking to enroll at a cosmetic laser institute or other schools has found encouragement in the comments these men made. But, some men also suggested that it's not necessarily perfect to be a man at an esthetics school. Another commenter in the forum felt that he had a few reasons it had been tough. Among the issues he listed was what he entitled 'a little battle of the sexes with [his] classmates.' Being a tiny minority in almost any setting can be hard. So men who want to go this direction should prepare to possibly feel some isolation.

That said, it's becoming more and more common for men to get aesthetics training. Why? In general cosmetics have become more accepted for the male set. Not just from the occupational side, but also as clients. This general acceptance of males seeking treatments that primarily only women used to get has allowed more men to be interested and gravitate toward these careers.

Men might experience some problems because of their sex in registering at an esthetics school or laser institute; however, they can also see some benefits for it, also.
