$33,980

Average yearly salary for esthetics in Utah

The field of skin care has plenty of career options for new esthetics professionals. Utah has plenty of sports resorts that make full use of the region's mountains, and these resorts often have on-site spas that help tourists unwind from a long day of skiing or hiking. In major cities, you may help clients get beautiful skin at a day spa or hair salon. Each day may bring new client requests your way, from age-defying skin treatments and color-correcting facials to clinical skin peels and mineral makeup. By the year 2026, job openings for Utah skin care specialists are expected to increase 35% (O*Net, 2019). The average salary for a Utah skin care specialist is $33,980 per year (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2020).

A variety of job options exist for a Utah esthetician. The first, and perhaps most popular option, is to work in a salon and spa. However, an esthetician also has the option of working in a skin care clinic with those exclusively interested in the services of a trained esthetician. Job growth for Utah estheticians is on the rise. The job outlook is optimistic.
