2009 Combo Program

Elizabeth Grady is pleased to announce the addition of a new, dual-license program. Learn the art and science of esthetics and massage therapy and obtain both licenses in less than a year! The student will attend school Monday through Friday, 9:00-5:00 p.m. Half their day will be committed to a 600 hour esthetics program and half to a 750 hour massage therapy program. This program prepares the student to successfully complete their State Board Exam for Esthetics and their National Certification Exam for Massage Therapy. Graduates of the dual-license program will save money on education, have a broader knowledge of the salon, spa, and beauty industry, and have the potential to earn more money by holding both licenses.
