THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS REAL REAL REAL VIDEO LIKE I was looking for exactly this and you gave it to me like wow never stop being so real and thoughtful with the experiences you have we NEED real feedback all the time and you gave us just that ! xoxo
Thank you so much Emma for talking about all this you have been soo soo soo helpful for my future and questions I have! I’m so glad RUclips recommended you!❤️
Thanks so much for your review! I’m a licensed cosmetologist and have been looking for a career change into esthetician and what other options I would have into the medical side of things to include procedures without being an RN.. This has been very helpful and so has NLI!! I’m currently working with them also.☺️☺️☺️
I understand what you mean about being overwhelmed. I recently passed both my state’s Life Insurance and Accidental/Heath Insurance exams. When I first started learning the Life Insurance part I was taking notes and didn’t even understand what ANY of it meant. But there were several chapters and thankfully passed it. The Accidental/Health was easier to take, because I took my knowledge from the Life Insurance state test and didn’t let anything fly by me. But I also worked for Aetna and Blue Medicare Rx, so it was helpful already knowing Medicare health insurance. But even when I was hired on the Aetna the training for Medicare (coming from Nordstrom with no medical health background) it was stupidly overwhelming during Aetna’s training month long the first couple of weeks.
Great video!!! I have a cosmo license but am interested in going to laser school as well only thing that scares is that I won’t find a job in it after or I won’t get paid as well as my job now. Basically I’m scared of it being a waste of money. Would you do a video on where you work now and how your hours and pay are? Thanks so much!!
They do not. But they do grant loans, through Ally lending which is the new Sallie Mae if I’m not mistaken she said that. So let’s say the tuition is 10-12 thousand which it is varying on which brick and mortar location you go to ( Arizona, Texas, ect.. there’s very few) , you would be making monthly payment installments within a certain period of time without, interest. After that, usually 18 months- it is no longer interest free. If you have any questions feel free to message me on Facebook. Com / Laylaybells . I absolutely love being and esthetician and NIL rocks!
Hi Emma, Thanks for this informative video. Watched until the end and I think you never got to the financial part such as how much the program was and if you received financial aid and how that works. Do you have another video on this, perhaps?
Thanks for posting we needed “real talk” What push back have you noticed about “being certified” it seems some states/places still recommend doctors only to perform Laser ☹️
I personally have no had any push back with being certified, but I live in Indiana so the rules and regulations are a lot more lenient that most states. I would just do your own research on the state you live in before doing any schooling.
Hello Emma. This was such a great video and so helpful. I will be attending the school in October. It’s located in Boston. I was wondering what requirements or materials do we have to bring with us for class?
I was told it cost approximately $9000 for the course and so I decided not to apply because it is way so much money for a certificate. Plus the meals not included, it’s a rip off.
Wow I thought about this & someone mentioned it to me in 2016, I thought I'd only be removing tattoos, too boring for me. So what all do you do with laser ? Does it really help Wrinkles ? I have a Cosmetology License So it could be a great addition - on. Do most of the Students get jobs Pretty Quickly ?
Great Video! Question: Do you think it would be helpful to go to esthetician school first and then do this laser training or does it matter the order? Thank you in advance!
I’m interested in the National laser Institute just trying to figure out if it’s a good choice for me although it’s probably a silly question but I’m very hands on so I was basically wondering is it a hands on test or written or both to get your certification ? Thank you so much your video was great ❣️
What’s the testing like? I’m super scared and nervous about that. I have never been good with testing but hands on is my thing. If you don’t pass the test do you not get your certification? And you just waste $12,000😭
Hey beautiful I was wondering if they provide equipment at all for you to start out with or if you had to go and buy your own equipment. I also was wondering if you had to take any kinda of test I order to pass.
Hi Emma was it worthy financially? Do you make enough money to pay off this loan quickly and still have a life. I’m a nurse who is soooo into medical spa industry and want to transition into it. What are the salaries like and the perks
Thanks for the info Emma! I'm curious though as to why you traveled all the way to AZ. Were you in a rush to get certified? You could've waited until they offered a course closer to you like IL since you're in IN.
That can be annoying, I cant stand not being on the same accord. What color of scrubs all I have is black ones. From my understanding they do not offer aid for the course I am a L.P.N. and I'm very interested. Can you explain how overall the money part? You had to pay for the hotel and what happens if you don't qualify for the loan. Im from Houston I know the next is Austin close to Houston
Thank you for being so detailed about this I just appreciate you I hope that you will go back to school and get your instructors license for Esthetics as you make so much more money because you get paid to teach people either in a community college a private college or in a laser institute or in the salon how to be an esthetician I hope that in your area you should try to find electrolysis training and take that up as well because that'll make you have two licenses in the beauty field electrolysis and skin care that's a wonderful combination when you extract the hair with electrolysis unlike laser will leave scars and marks electrolysis don't have that issue happy 2020 in advance keep up the great work thank you for being so descriptive be blessed💅💅🏻💅🏼💸💸💸💲💲🖤💙🖤💝🖤💙💜💸💸💸💲💲💲💦💟💝💙💎💅💅🏽💅🏼🖤💛💜💝💙🖤💜💝💲💖💸💆🤔💎💎
Thank you! The classes were tough because you have 3 weeks to learn the information but it is definitely manageable. They do a great job at explaining the formation so I had no issue learning and retaining the information.
Great video I am on the path with getting started on becoming an esthetician. I would love to go in the same field type as you. How much did did laser school cost you in total? If you don't mind me asking.
Hi Emma! Thank you for filming this video. It was very helpful. What do you recommend doing first: esty school to get your license or laser tech? And do you need to obtain both? Thank you, I’d appreciate your advice.
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! It all depends on the state you live in. Some states require different licenses to perform lasers. I personally think if you want to be an esthetician and be a laser tech, to become an esthetician first, because when learning the lasers you need to know a lot about the skin! But when I went to NLI there were a lot of people that were not estheticians and they did just fine. I will say though, when you go apply for a job, it will probably look very nice on your resume to have both esthetician and laser technician. Hope this helps!
Hello emma thanks for your info! By the way I'm from New Jersey and so do they provide us a accommodation facility there? Plus is it a facial lazer institute ? And also how Bout the total fees?
Do you think employers consider people who are licensed esthetician’s along with laser tech certification... ? Rather than just having laser tech certification?
During the first week you have didactic and at the end of each day you take a small test but you do it as a whole class! There is no big Exam at the end.
I love all the information! I’m makeup artist and I have cosmetology license hei from Paul Mitchell the school, however I hated it. So As I do makeup professionally and skin is another thing very important to me, I thought about going to esthetician school. Do you think that going to the National Laser Institute first could be beneficial? Thank you!
Hey. If you don't mind could you tell me more about Paul Mitchell. I am interested in Esthetics but I am not sure which school/institute I should enrol to.
This sounds interesting. How much was it? I tried looking in the site but couldn’t find it. I’m currently going through the esthetics class to get licensed. I may go this route too.
Loved your vlog. Q: Did you fly there alone? Or was there a friend or someone close to you that you went there with? Cuz, myself, I probably wouldn't want to go someplace alone. Lol. Just curious.
In California, you cannot take these courses unless you are an RN. This is bs and typical of this state's overrregulation. Is it possible to get this license in Az. without an RN.?? This puts a different countenance on investing in this career.
California, Florida, and New Jersey have very strick rules on what Esthetician and laser technicians can and can not do. Yes you can become a laser technician in AZ without being an RN but you first need to look at your states laws and see if you can even practice it in your state.
Great video & the details are good, Thank You for sharing so much, did it take you long to find employment ? It must be pretty Expensive. I wonder if there's a School in Florida, I have to get the Direct Number to Ask Questions, as you can see, I have many. I'm Wondering What the Pay is also.😊🌴
Such kind words and amazing advice! We miss you, Emma!! We are so happy you had a wonderful experience at NLI 🥰
hands on so I was basically wondering is it a hands on test or written or both to get your certification ? Thank you so much
This will help so many other ladies! Good job Emma! :)

Jessewroteit How was it?
Thank you so much Emma for talking about all this you have been soo soo soo helpful for my future and questions I have! I’m so glad RUclips recommended you!❤️
Thank you for being so candid. I know for people like myself this is what we need to have it be very helpful.

I start school for Aesthetics today I'm also going to get certified for laser tech.
Can you tell us what school is that, if they take online clases, & the price? Thanks.
Great video!!! I have a cosmo license but am interested in going to laser school as well only thing that scares is that I won’t find a job in it after or I won’t get paid as well as my job now. Basically I’m scared of it being a waste of money. Would you do a video on where you work now and how your hours and pay are? Thanks so much!!
Thank you!! I’m leaving feb 19 for the Dallas campus. I’m nervous and excited all at the same time. I appreciate your video💗
About How much does the Dallas one cost for medical aesthetics laser treatments if you don’t mind me asking ?
I was told they didn’t accept fafsa??? Or financial aid
They do not. But they do grant loans, through Ally lending which is the new Sallie Mae if I’m not mistaken she said that. So let’s say the tuition is 10-12 thousand which it is varying on which brick and mortar location you go to ( Arizona, Texas, ect.. there’s very few) , you would be making monthly payment installments within a certain period of time without, interest.

LOL im watching this December 2020, and when it got to the making friends part...I started crying.
Thank you for posting! I am looking in to going in June and trying to research everything I can about the process!
Hi Emma,
Thanks for this informative video. Watched until the end and I think you never got to the financial part such as how much the program was and if you received financial aid and how that works. Do you have another video on this, perhaps?
Would you recommend being an aesthetician before going to school here? Or does it really not matter?
Very helpful info! What were the class hours like? & what days do you get off? Also is it 2 weeks or 3 weeks?
Class is 9am-6pm Sunday through Sunday. You dont get a day off at all. It's 13 days but if you had the day of microneedling then it's 14 days.
Thank you so much for this video I truly appreciate it!
You are destined for great things with esthetics. ❤️
Thanks for posting we needed “real talk”

Thank you for the support! They supply all the materials. You really don't have to bring any materials!
Your skin looks flawless!
I was told it cost approximately $9000 for the course and so I decided not to apply because it is way so much money for a certificate. Plus the meals not included, it’s a rip off.

How much is the full course?
I am very interested in this and I live in Indianapolis, Indiana I just saw this pop up on Facebook... I’ve only worked as a medical assistant.
Do I need to go through getting licensed for esthetics or am I able to just enroll to the National laser Institute?
You can go the NLI without being an Esthetician
Emma Winkelman thank you so much for responding!
Thanks for thoroughly sharing your experience, great insight, where are you working now, What kind of facility what are your average monthly earnings
Thank you for being honest
Great Video! Question: Do you think it would be helpful to go to esthetician school first and then do this laser training or does it matter the order? Thank you in advance!

Thank you so much your video was great ❣️
How did you pay for this school im getting Sooo DISCOURAGED on getting approved for financing and even with a cosigner im getting denied!
I had to wait awhile to build my credit score up to apply for a loan. I got my loan through Sallie Mae.
@@emmakendall8182 What score does Sallie Mae accept???? 700??? Mine is 650 and increasing
is there a dress code like scrubs?
Emma you didn't tell us what was the price of the course. Please answer for us. Thanks
If you don't have prior laser tech experience, will the school help you find a job?
Do you have to have a medical background to take classes and to get a job?
How you felt about lasers is how I feel about injections. I’m so scared to hurt someone with a needle
What’s the testing like? I’m super scared and nervous about that. I have never been good with testing but hands on is my thing. If you don’t pass the test do you not get your certification? And you just waste $12,000😭
Thats what I want to know. Testing and Exams are not my thing. Hands on is!
I’m already enrolled and I’m super nervous about it 😬
@@briannam5500 Best of Luck to you! How did you go about the financial fee?
Thank you ! I went through my bank because with the laser institute place the interest rate was way to high
@@briannam5500 Oh WOW, ok
Do you have to be a esthetician in order to get Into this school or get a job ?
Hey beautiful I was wondering if they provide equipment at all for you to start out with or if you had to go and buy your own equipment. I also was wondering if you had to take any kinda of test I order to pass.

My guess some places r cheaper I guess
If you are an esthetician but work at a medical office do you get benefits like health insurance and guarantee pay if someone cancels ?
That can be annoying, I cant stand not being on the same accord. What color of scrubs all I have is black ones.

Do you have to be a esthetician in order to become a licensed laser removal specialist?
Did you get a rental car from the airport to the hotel/school?
How did you end up there?
Would you consider this program something difficult? As i know the information i have read on seems a little intimidating
Would you recommend brining things like a notebook, folder, etc... for the first week since its a classroom setting?
They supply everything you would need! I wouldn't worry about bringing anything.

Do you have to be in the medical field to be a laser tech?
Nope!
In some states they do require you to be a CNA to do laer, without it being beyond your scope of practice.check with your states regulations!❤️
Hey Emma, I really enjoy your channel. How tough were the classes during your laser technician schooling? And was the information easy to learn?
Thank you! The classes were tough because you have 3 weeks to learn the information but it is definitely manageable. They do a great job at explaining the formation so I had no issue learning and retaining the information.
Thank you so much for informative content!
How much it cost you
What about california? Can I go to school or have to be a nurse
You never said the price ☹️
How much was the class?
Great video I am on the path with getting started on becoming an esthetician. I would love to go in the same field type as you. How much did did laser school cost you in total? If you don't mind me asking.
Id like to know as well 😊

Thank you so much for this video! Very informative.
Did you have to take a state board exam? Do you have any tips on studying ?
Thank you for this video. Very real and detailed.

Does this institution teach H.I.F.U. ( Ultheyrapy for skin)?
Hello emma thanks for your info!
By the way I'm from New Jersey and so do they provide us a accommodation facility there? Plus is it a facial lazer institute ? And also how Bout the total fees?
Do you think employers consider people who are licensed esthetician’s along with laser tech certification... ? Rather than just having laser tech certification?
I definitely think it stands out to employers. You will be well rounded and can offer a lot to their practice!
Emma Winkelman thank you so much ,,, you were so helpful :)
Is there an Exam to take and if there is . . . Is it dificult?
During the first week you have didactic and at the end of each day you take a small test but you do it as a whole class! There is no big Exam at the end.
How much was the program
Did you finance through the school or was your loan on your own?
Their loans are through Sallie Mae
Do you do laser scar removal like acne scars? Also what is the general salary? Thanks!

Hey. If you don't mind could you tell me more about Paul Mitchell. I am interested in Esthetics but I am not sure which school/institute I should enrol to.
can you become a laser technician without going to school for esthetics?
No you can go to laser technician school without being an esthetician
Can you obtain your license prior to esthetician school with a high school diploma?
Yes, I believe so.
Why AZ?
Great video thank you 😀
Nice video I’m going into lasers and optics at Indian Hills
They just told me they don’t accept financial aid because it’s only 2 weeks so do they take it or not please let me know I’m really concerning going.
They don't accept financial aid, you would have to get a student loan.
How much was schooling total?
The school itself was around $9,000. I can't remember exact price but I know it was around 9
This sounds interesting. How much was it? I tried looking in the site but couldn’t find it. I’m currently going through the esthetics class to get licensed. I may go this route too.
It was around $9,000 for the schooling. But it ended up being more than that for the living and food while I was out there.
Am interested but am Indian near sty Mumbai
Omg im going to the one in Dallas!
Hey! How did it go ! ?? I'm in San Antonio, you !?
Loved your vlog. Q: Did you fly there alone? Or was there a friend or someone close to you that you went there with? Cuz, myself, I probably wouldn't want to go someplace alone. Lol. Just curious.
