Welcome to Maryville Esthetics Lash and Skin School (ME)
Building Knowledge. Inspiring Confidence. Launching Careers.
At ME, we’re transforming the traditional beauty school experience.
Our mission is to guide aspiring estheticians in building the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to thrive in the beauty industry. We believe true success comes from mastering both the science and the art of skincare, which is why our program blends in-depth theory with hands-on training—shaping well-rounded professionals who shine in their careers.
A Hybrid Program That Delivers Excellence.
Our unique hybrid format blends the best of both worlds—three days a week of live, online theory classes with licensed, experienced educators, and two days a week of in-person, hands-on training. This approach allows you to fully grasp complex concepts from the comfort of your home while also receiving personalized, face-to-face instruction in our state-of-the-art training space. We go beyond textbooks, integrating interactive learning tools, guided discussions, and real-world applications to ensure our students don’t just memorize—they truly understand and retain the material.
Hands-On Apprenticeship for Real-World Readiness.
Fifty percent of your training is spent in a hands-on apprenticeship under the guidance of a supervising licensed professional. This real-world setting lets you practice your skills, build client confidence, and understand the day-to-day operations of a successful beauty business before you even graduate. By combining expert instruction with practical application, we prepare you not only to pass the state board exam but to thrive as a knowledgeable, confident, and in-demand esthetician.
At ME, we don’t just teach beauty—we prepare professionals

At ME, we’re transforming the traditional beauty school experience. Our mission is to train aestheticians to have deep knowledge, practical expertise, and the confidence to excel in the beauty industry. We focus on preparing you not just for the state board, but for a long-term, successful career.
Our 20-week program combines the flexibility of online learning with the benefits of in-person training. Three days each week, you’ll attend live, instructor-led online (synchronous) classes to cover theory. The other two days are spent in our Maryville facility for immersive, hands-on skill development. This approach blends convenience with rigorous training, ensuring a well-rounded education.
Students spend 50% of their time in a synchronous learning environment led by experienced, licensed educators who are passionate about their success. The other 50% takes place in a hands-on apprenticeship under the guidance of a supervising licensed professional, giving students the opportunity to apply their skills in a real working environment.
In accordance with Tennessee State Board of Cosmetology regulations, all hours earned outside of the classroom must be completed through synchronous (live) instruction. That means every online theory class at Maryville Esthetics is taught live by licensed instructors, giving you real-time interaction, feedback, and support.
Synchronous learning means you attend live, scheduled classes in real time with your instructor and classmates — just like an in-person class, but online. You can ask questions, join discussions, and get immediate feedback, creating an interactive, connected learning experience.
Our esthetics program is intentionally designed to be a comprehensive, state-approved curriculum that fully prepares students for licensure and a successful career in skincare. Because the program is already robust, we offer specialized certifications — like lash extensions, dermaplaning, and advanced chemical peels — as separate courses. This allows students to focus on core training first, then add advanced skills when they’re ready.
Our certification courses are open to students currently enrolled in an aesthetics program as well as licensed estheticians and cosmetologists who are looking to advance their skills and expand their service offerings. Whether you’re still in school or already working in the industry, our courses are designed to elevate your skills and boost your confidence in specialized treatments.
Our certification courses stand out because they’re taught by a highly experienced, licensed educator with over 10 years in the esthetics and lash industry. These are not quick, cookie-cutter classes — they’re structured, hands-on trainings designed to truly build your confidence and skill level. We prioritize real education, not just handing out certificates, so our students leave ready to offer high-quality services in real-world settings.
At ME, we don't just teach beauty, we prepare professionals.
