This place is amazing. I have gotten treated like a queen and never felt like I was at a school. The owner of this school and head teacher Vena Villanueva has taught her students to act professionally. The place is spotlessly clean and well-run. The treatments are well-priced and worth every penny.

I have come here over the past year and have tried almost every service! Every student does their best and will immediately fix any issues that arise. I love that they are a local business and have continued to improve every time I visit. I recommend you visit for your next service!

Excellent service for the few times I’ve been here. The prices are great so I can treat myself once a month. Also like the fact that we are helping to provide training for the students a win win.

What a cool atmosphere! Very welcoming and professional environment. Being able to receive quality skincare from students under training and supervision at a discount is a brilliant concept and business design. I've received several sessions of micro-needling and waxing here and couldn't be more thrilled with the results. Hats off to Vena and Tina for creating an inclusive and accessible environment for everyone!

I've been a few times now and service has always been great! Everyone I've talked to has been polite and helpful. Kathy has been more than patient while talking me through the skincare process each time I visit.

I have been getting a service done called Lipo cavitation and microcurrent done to tighten the skin and reduce the fat on the neck area. I am so pleased with the results. My skin looks 10 years younger and my double chin is almost gone! The professionalism is amazing. The student that is working on me is very knowledgeable! I asked her if she was an instructor and she smiled and said no I am a student. Very well trained.

I have had multiple facials there by students and have always felt refreshed afterwards and noticed an improvement in my skin health following my appointments. I recommend getting one done every month!

I have been i several times now and just had to give credit where credit is due. NEVER a bad experience. When a “student” does a facial or any other service you would never know they weren’t a skilled pro. The instructors make sure of it and I truly enjoy every time I go.

My sister shared this place with me and I’m in love! I had an appointment for a facial and from the moment I stepped inside I was greeted with a wonderful smell in the room and happy face at the front desk! I was quickly pulled back into a room and had the best hour long facial with Dani for only $35! It was great and Dani was super sweet, friendly and gently. Definitely coming back 🙂

Monique, Ash, and Dani were amazing! I had my first ever dermaplaning and my skin has never felt or looked so amazing. I was able to squeeze in an underarm wax during my visit, too! Ash gave me some great recommendations for skincare and suggested some awesome products that I was able to purchase there. I’m very excited for my next visit

Received an ear candling and facial. Relaxing atmosphere and workers are communicative with their clients. I came in with some dry skin and blackheads and was helped with that during my facial. Vena suggested an eye cream for my dark circles and dry under eyes which I purchased from the wide variety of skin care products that are sold there

I went here for sugaring, and couldn’t be happier! The instructor and student worked together on my session, so it was super fast, and they were both great. Friendly, efficient, and skilled. And the space is inviting and clean. I will definitely be back.

I’ve had numerous services done here and Vena and her students are very kind and attentive. I most recently had a facial by Sarina and it was relaxing and my skin is glowing. I highly recommend them.

Went in for a facial, the atmosphere was absolutely calming, the environment just makes you feel at peace and honestly just makes you forget about anything that may be bothering you. Her skin care products are awesome, vena is such a great calming person, and I’m very proud of what she has accomplished. I highly recommend all her services..

When you go to the Academy of Asthetic Arts, all students are assisted by Vena (owner/instructor) so you get the experience of a Master Esthetician at an amazing price. I got a full leg and underarm wax, a back treatment, and waxing done on my lady bits (also known as a Brazilian) all for $85. If I went to a regular salon the cost of those services would be close to $200. If you’re on a tight budget but want to pamper yourself go to the Academy of Aesthetic Arts.

Academy of Aesthetics Arts is my new Olympia favorite. Wonderful skincare options and treatments for very affordable prices. They even do ear candling! Very nice staff and students.
“I love being a student at Academy of Aesthetic Arts. Vena is not only a great esthetician, but also an amazing instructor. She offers a flexible class schedule, making it possible for me to graduate while working full time. Students are able to learn services that usually require specialty certifications such as lash extensions. It is a great place to be!”
“Going to school at Academy of Aesthetic Arts has been the best thing I have ever done. I have learned more than how to be a good aesthetician, I have learned how to be a business person. I have made some great connections with people, both students and clients. I have become confident in my skills and myself personally. I want to do the same for others and I look forward to my continuing education here at AAA.”
What made you want to go to Academy of Aesthetic Arts?
“I like the flexible hours, I like the hands on learning. If I don’t want to learn something, I don’t have to. I like the location, it’s easy (to get to). I like that there's different levels of students, that we can learn off each other, collaborative learning with Vena’s guidance.”
Why did you choose to be an aesthetician?
“Because I discovered that I enjoy that girl time, I enjoy making people feel good about themselves. I've known that I like to help people. When I quit my job in 2015, I discovered in 2016 that I missed my customers, I didn’t miss the work, I didn’t miss the job, I missed helping people.”
