I oppose apprenticeships for estheticians. I feel that apprentices in the esthetics industry would put the safety of the public at risk from the lack of a regulated curriculum. Additionally, it would harm the reputation of the licensed estheticians who have undergone formal education and training, because there are many parts to the esthetics curriculum formally taught in schools that can not be taught through an apprenticeship program. The esthetics field would only be moving backwards if apprenticeships are approved for this field.
