Hello!

I'm a licensed esthetician and want to look into becoming a laser hair removal technician, I spoke to a admissions rep at ATI in dallas about visiting the school to see if I like it, is there anyone who is a certified laser hair removal tech and what are the pros and cons about it? does it pay good? The class I want to take is two weeks full time certifying me in laser hair removal, IPL, skin tightening, cellulite treatments, spider vein removal, and a few more,. I have a new baby and am looking for something to make a decent living for both of us.. any advice?

I am not an esthetican. But am looking into to going to school solely for the purpose of doing laser hair removal only. Can you do this in Utah or am I required to go through esthetician school even though I have no interest in anything other than laser hair removal? Thanks all advice appreciated.

Hello, I'm a master esthetician in VA. In addition to esthetics, I also perform laser hair removal at my current job. I've been trained on the job and practice LHR under the license of the spa. I would like to receive more formal training in LHR and came across the Laser Hair Institute in Forest Hills, NY which provides a comprehensive 40/hr training program to get certified. Has anyone heard or know anything about this school??

I am a state certified laser technician, and I cant find a job anywhere! I do not have an esthetician license; and it seems everywhere I apply they only want nurses or estheticians. Although the classes needed to obtain a state certification as a laser technician are fairly cheap, anyone considering doing this as a profession should be advised that is extremely difficult to find a job in this field unless you are also a nurse or esthetician. I wish someone would have informed me of this before I wasted my money getting certified in laser hair removal.
