THE ESTHETICS COUNCIL
Your profession. Your practice. Your future.
Being a licensed esthetician comes with enough challenges. Understanding regulations, maintaining credentials, and finding reliable professional resources shouldn’t add to them.
The Esthetics Council brings professional information, independent standards, certification opportunities, and regulatory advocacy together in one place.

We’re developing a more comprehensive system for monitoring legislation and state cosmetology and medical boards, with the long-term objective of supporting dedicated regulatory monitoring and professional legislative representation.
