The state really needs to consider who is pusing the master aesthetician license. It is the owners of the schools. A master aesthetician license will only hurt the current aestheticians. We will be unable to do our job that we are more then qualified to do. We won't be able to afford to go back to school for 600 hours and we will not be able to get a good education if we do. Aestheticians won't have the option of going out of state for quality education because no other neighboring states even offer such programs. The only one benefiting from this extra 600 hours are the school owners who will be gaining an average $6,000 from both current aestheticians that don't leave the field or move to other states to work, or new students. Let the new licensure weed out the uneducated estheticians but do not let this hurt the educated, qualified, hard working idividuals that practice safe skincare. Don't let these new school owners win.
Also I would like to point out that most spas in the area will suffer too when the aestheticians will have to cut out half the services they can do if this law gets passed.
