Department of Aesthetics

welcome

We are pleased to introduce our new Aesthetics programs along with a gleaming new 4,500-square- foot aesthetics facility.

Why aesthetics? Because soon the State of Virginia will require that individuals practicing aesthetics hold licenses. The state has implemented a two-tier system. Graham Webb Academy offers two courses: Aesthetician (600 hours) and Master Aesthetician (600 hours). In addition, the Academy will offer graduate classes for licensed aestheticians on weekends.
