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 healthy skin.

Our facility is designed to provide both comfortable learning and a true spa experience. As students progress and master different treatments they have the opportunity to work in our fully-equipped spa, complete with wet treatment room, cozy Esthetics stations, and retail area.
