The Esthetique Laureate was founded to celebrate excellence within the art and science of esthetics. Each year, a select outstanding group of professionals are recognized for advancing the standards of beauty, education, and ethical care. Unlike popularity-based awards, The Esthetique Laureate is built on integrity. Recognition is earned through skill, innovation, and contribution, not social metrics, or voting. Our independent judges are professionals who understand the craft and uphold its highest ideals. The awards come from research and presentation. This we believe makes our award so much more than just a popularity contest.
