There is demand for esthetics professionals in the Yukon.
Elements Esthetics Academy fills the gap by training the next generation of certified estheticians.
Our Story
In the northwest corner of what is known today as Canada, is the Yukon, the traditional territory of fourteen First Nations.
Education is limited in remote northern communities.
People have to move far away to get the education needed for their dream job.
But moving isn’t an option for everyone.
It’s expensive and can be isolating to move far away from family and culture to go to school.
Elements Esthetics Academy makes it possible earn esthetics certificates while staying close to home.
Beauty and wellness enthusiasts come to our school to learn in-demand esthetic treatments to bring back to their communities.
You might be a busy mom.
You might be a caregiver to an elder.
You might already have a job.
Or you might be retired.
We will help you succeed, no matter who you are, what you know, or where you came from.
Come learn with us.
