The Skin & Makeup Institute

Alongside its public clinic, the Peoria facility serves as an instructional hub for aspiring skincare professionals and makeup artists. While guests can book clinic appointments that include professional makeup applications, the wider operation focuses on preparing students for professional licensing and salon careers.

The institute pairs hands-on aesthetic training with career coaching, incorporating state board exam prep, portfolio development, and resume building. Courses also train future educators, utilizing a smaller school setting where students work closely with instructors to hone technical skills and client interactions through regular floor practice.
