I took the Light Therapies Laser/IPL class and it was fantastic. I’ve been an esthetician for 4.5 years and wanted to continue my education and get certified. The theory portion was so knowledgeable and the hands on portion made me confident and comfortable using the laser and IPL machines. I live in the northwest suburbs so it was the perfect commute.

I've taken several CE classes at New Age Spa Institute over the years and they all exceeded my expectations. The teachers here are fantastic. I'm very nervous when I work with clients brows and I took Brows SOS class today to enhance my skills. I feel very confident and comfortable with brows now. Also it is very easy to get to this school by public transport from Chicago:)

I had an amazing experience at NASI 8 years ago and can say the same here and now 8 years later. I initially took their clinical aesthetics program in 2018. I had an amazing experience and loved the diversity of the curriculum. I have now worked in the industry for 8 years and currently work in a plastic surgery setting as a medical aesthetician and laser technician. I returned to NASI for the laser certification program and highly recommend it for those just starting off or as a refresher for those with the experience. Miss Bianca and Miss Natalia are exceptional educators. The material is so informative and intentional for anyone looking to work with light and laser modalities. I highly recommend NASI to anyone looking to enter the aesthetics field! :)

Welcome to the New Age Spa Institue — The Only CIDESCO Accredited School in Illinois!

The CIDESCO Diploma is the world's most reputable international qualification in the field of Esthetics. The Diploma is awarded to candidates who have passed practical and written examinations. CIDESCO Diploma holders also receive a CIDESCO badge that is instantly recognized as a sign of excellence.

The New Age Spa Institute, one of the finest esthetics schools in Illinois, strives to provide the most comprehensive, up-to-date esthetics programs available. Our esthetics program allows for classes in advanced techniques, both in esthetics and makeup, built into the curriculum. Whether you are interested in working in the medical field as an aesthetician, in salon and spas, or as a professional makeup artist, The New Age Spa Institute will prepare you and set you apart from the competition in your field.

It is our job at The New Age Spa Institute to make this time as productive and beneficial to your future as possible. We provide both full-time and part-time classes in our esthetics programs. Unlike other esthetics schools in Illinois, we believe in small classes, hands- on training, interactive theory lessons, and a friendly, encouraging environment.

What is CIDESCO Diploma?

The creation of the COMITE INTERNATIONAL D'ESTHETIQUE ET DE COSMETOLOGIE, better known as CIDESCO, was the idea of two professionals, Mr. Dumont of Brussels, Belgium and Mr. Poirsons of Paris, France. CIDESCO was created to work toward universal standards for estheticians. The official birth date of CIDESCO was December 1946 in Brussels, Belgium with the official headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland. It took the next few years to create and conceive (with the cooperation of professionals all over the world) the CIDESCO standards for estheticians and their training.

CIDESCO guidelines have been utilized as a standard for training in Europe since 1946. These same standards have only recently been introduced in the United States. Students who pass the CIDESCO exam will be eligible to work worldwide. They will enter the Esthetics industry with knowledge that is far more extensive than someone trained only in facials or only in body massage. A CIDESCO trained Esthetician can provide full body care. They will have the knowledge to equal estheticians trained anywhere in the world. These students are qualified to own and operate body care Spas, work with plastic surgeons, dermatologists, and clients with skin problems. They can also provide services to those who just want to maintain health.
