Find a beauty college close to you. Beauty colleges are listed in the yellow pages under the headings "Beauty Salons," "Colleges" or "Schools." You can also look for beauty colleges by state online at Beauty Schools Directory. Be sure to look for schools with an aestheticism program in addition to cosmetology.

Call the beauty colleges near you. Just like salons, beauty schools set their own prices. The more schools you have near you, the more competitively priced they are. Some beauty colleges are set up for walk-in clients, but if you don't want to waste your time, call and schedule an appointment.

Plan extra time for your appointment. Most beauty colleges require you to sign a waiver that releases them of responsibility in case you have a negative reaction to the chemicals used. Plus, students may not have as much experience determining you type of skin and the best products to use. The student performing the facial may need direction from an instructor, which makes the appointment longer.

Understand the risks. Poor supervision from instructors could lead to a mistake being made. The wrong product combination might damage your skin and lead to extensive burning. It is also common for your face to breakout after a facial, even when it's done correctly.
