If you are enrolling in the esthetics program at Aveda, you may be wondering: “Should I choose to do the CIDESCO program, and is it really worth the extra time commitment?” The answer is yes.
Having a background of CIDESCO not only makes you more employable, it gives you a thorough understanding of the body and the skin.

- Advanced skin analysis including ways to tell a person’s dietary habits, lifestyle, and ethnicity based on the appearance of their skin

Being a part of the CIDESCO program has given me valuable tools that I will carry with me through my entire career. It has allowed me to learn from seasoned estheticians who know all the secrets of the industry. It has given me the opportunity to travel and still be able to do what I love. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in esthetics.
