About Us
Welcome to Beautiful You Skincare Academy
Welcome to Colorado’s entrepreneurial esthetician school. At Beautiful You Skincare Academy, we’re not just an esthetics school—we’re a boutique, business-focused academy dedicated to teaching both skincare and the skills to build a successful career.
We’re passionate about educating and empowering future estheticians to step confidently into the industry. Our curriculum exceeds state standards, with a strong emphasis on business, client building, and real-world experience—so you graduate prepared, not just certified.
Whether you’re starting fresh, pivoting careers, or expanding your skill set, there’s a place for you here.
Our Ethos
Beautiful You Skincare Academy is built on the belief that esthetics education should be both transformational and disciplined.
We believe true excellence is developed through deep education, intentional empowerment, ethical leadership, and hands-on mastery.
This is more than a training environment—it is an academy with standards, where personal growth and professional excellence evolve together. We hold ourselves and our students to elevated expectations, knowing that confidence, integrity, and professionalism are earned through experience, accountability, and care.
At BYSA, education is not rushed, growth is not accidental, and excellence is not optional.
Our Mission
Beautiful You Skincare Academy is a boutique esthetics school that exists to educate deeply, empower confidently, and elevate the esthetics profession through disciplined education, hands-on mastery, and unwavering standards—developing ethical, business-minded professionals prepared to excel in real careers.
Our Vision
Our vision is to establish an elevated academy where our boutique educational approach is deep and disciplined, empowerment is cultivated, excellence is the standard, ethics guide every decision, and business-minded thinking supports sustainable careers—developing professionals who naturally elevate themselves and the esthetics industry.

A Note From Our Founder~
Beautiful You Skincare Academy was not created overnight.
It was built through two decades of experience, growth, reflection, and a deep respect for the craft of esthetics and the people who practice it.
I founded BYSA with the belief that education should do more than prepare students to pass an exam, it should prepare them to think critically, act ethically, and move confidently through their careers. Over time, that belief has only deepened.
As the academy has evolved, so have our standards.
Today, Beautiful You Skincare Academy is an elevated learning environment rooted in discipline, integrity, and hands-on mastery. It is a place where education is taken seriously, where empowerment is intentional, and where excellence is expected, and not rushed or compromised.
This academy is not designed to be everything to everyone.
It is designed for individuals who value growth, accountability, and professionalism, and those who understand that confidence is earned and that meaningful careers are built with intention and care.
Whether a student’s path leads to employment, leadership, or future ownership, our commitment remains the same: to provide an education that develops skill, character, and long-term capability.
Beautiful You Skincare Academy reflects not only the evolution of this institution, but my own evolution, an understanding that true leadership is quiet, standards do matter, and the most powerful environments speak for themselves.
If you feel aligned here, you are welcome here.
If you are ready to be challenged, supported, and developed at a higher level, this academy was built with you in mind.
With intention,
Desarae
