Why TSPA Howell’s Skin Care Program Goes Beyond the Basics

Turn your passion for skincare into a rewarding career.

Transform Your Passion Into a Profession

If you love helping others feel confident in their skin, imagine turning that passion into your profession. At The Salon Professional Academy (TSPA) Howell, you’ll receive hands-on training, professional certifications, and real-world business knowledge to build a thriving skincare career right in your community.

While many local beauty schools stop at the basics, TSPA Howell’s Skin Care Specialty Program goes far beyond. You’ll train with advanced technology, earn sought-after certifications, and gain experience in a professional spa environment, preparing you for today’s fast-growing esthetics industry.

Advanced Certifications You Won’t Find Everywhere

Our students don’t just learn techniques; they earn certifications in some of the most in-demand skincare treatments today.

At TSPA Howell, you’ll gain hands-on experience and credentials in:

HydraFacial® — the gold standard in deep cleansing, exfoliation, and hydration technology
LightStim Pro® — professional LED light therapy for anti-aging and acne treatments
Microdermabrasion — advanced resurfacing techniques that deliver visible results
Dermaplaning — a client-favorite exfoliation method for smoother, glowing skin
Chemical Peels — supervised training in professional-level exfoliating treatments
Bio Therapeutic® — cutting-edge skincare technology used in elite spas
19 Different Modalities — from signature facials to targeted treatment plans, you’ll learn a wide range of service techniques designed to meet every client’s need

Few skincare schools in the region offer this level of training. With access to medical spa–grade equipment like HydraFacial® and LightStim Pro®, you’ll graduate with certifications employers value and clients request by name.

Real Spa Experience. Real Clients. Real Confidence.

Classroom theory matters, but experience builds mastery. At TSPA Howell, you’ll learn inside a modern on-campus spa, performing services on real guests while being guided by licensed instructors.

Through every facial, peel, and consultation, you’ll strengthen your technical skills and client communication. By graduation, you’ll not only understand advanced skincare, but you’ll also have the confidence to perform it professionally.

This hands-on experience helps you step into your first job feeling fully prepared.

Career-Ready Skills for a Thriving Future

Success in skincare is about more than technique; it’s about business. That’s why TSPA Howell teaches the business of beauty, including how to attract clients, build your personal brand, and manage a profitable career as an esthetician or spa professional.

Students graduate ready to work in high-end spas, medspas, and salons throughout Monmouth, Ocean, and Middlesex counties, from Freehold to Red Bank to Asbury Park. With strong local partnerships and employer connections, we make the transition from classroom to career seamless.
