Esthetics is all about knowing what to do and how to do it, and how to make clients feel cared for while in your chair. At Alva Beauty Collective, you can build those skills through our technique-first hybrid training. Our program focuses on real services and real practice so that you can see improvement in your techniques over time. This isn’t just watching from the sidelines. Our students learn by doing, with instructor guidance that helps refine their skills and timing as they build their confidence.
Our hybrid education keeps theory hours online, so you can study at home and review material on your own schedule. Then you can come to campus, where class time is dedicated to practical demonstrations and guided training. We take pride in our small class sizes because we believe a lower instructor-to-student ratio creates a more personalized and supportive learning environment. Our classes are offered in either English or Spanish to help students feel confident, supported, and fully engaged throughout their education.

The theory portion of your required training hours is completed online in the comfort of your own home (or wherever you want to study!). This gives you flexibility, so you can learn when and where it’s best for you. Your in-class hours are focused on hands-on training, with live demonstrations and guided practice built into each session. Eventually, you can start providing esthetician services to real clients in our student salon and build your confidence and professional skills. All services are provided by students under the supervision of licensed professionals.
Our hands-on training sessions are part-time, with morning and evening sessions available. We also offer both English and Spanish classes at our Lemon Grove campus.

¡Mi experiencia en esta escuela de belleza ha sido un sueño hecho realidad! Estoy emocionado de ser parte del programa de Cosmetología que se ofrece aquí con educadores increíbles como Amber y Daisy, y el personal de recepción siempre es muy amable y acogedor. ¡Soy nuevo en este programa y ya he aprendido muchísimo!
Disfruté muchísimo mi tiempo en ALVA, me encantó crear conexiones con mis instructores/compañeros de clase mientras aprendía técnicas actualizadas en el mundo del negocio de la manicura. Realmente aprecié obtener experiencias de servicio de belleza del mundo real. ¡También me divertí mucho mientras estuve allí! 💕
Después de estar en el campo dental durante 23 años, decidí volver a estudiar para seguir mi pasión por cortar el cabello. ALVA fue una oportunidad perfecta para obtener la educación que necesitaba para poder calificar para el examen estatal y sin gastar una fortuna. El plan de estudios rápido y los horarios flexibles lo hicieron posible. Como madre y empleada a tiempo completo, necesitaba esa flexibilidad. Fueron muy complacientes cuando cambiaron mis horarios de trabajo. Los maestros tienen amplios conocimientos sobre los protocolos y técnicas actuales. La atmósfera es relajada pero ofrece la competitividad que a veces es útil para impulsar a ser mejor. Como una de las estudiantes mayores, me sentí como en casa y disfruté de la energía joven que llenaba el aire. Mi único arrepentimiento... ¡es no haber hecho esto hace 23 años! La industria de la belleza está en constante crecimiento y es muy competitiva en cuanto a lo que se puede ganar económicamente. ¡Debería haber hecho esto hace mucho tiempo!
