Our Mission

At Esteem Academy of Beauty, our mission is to teach foundational beauty skills and bolster self-confidence in a positive, encouraging environment. We aim to highlight the “Esteem” (respect, admiration) in self esteem.

Our History

In 2014, we opened our doors in Ogden with a vision for quality education, and a passion for beauty. Darci Brown (owner, director, and mentor) leads our programs with over 30 years of experience in the beauty industry. For her, Esteem Academy is more than just a career, this school is her passion.

Salon Ready by Graduation

Our instructors go above and beyond to ensure you feel confident, cared for, and capable as you learn new skills. Whether you’re mastering the art of the perfect pedicure, or learning a new hair coloring technique, we believe students learn best when they’re praised for a job well done. We’re here to professionally guide you along the way!

Tailored Personal Development Sessions

As a student at Esteem Academy, you’ll have weekly 30 minute sessions to discuss various life skills, along with journaling & meditation. This is a great tool for self-reflection and growth, created to support you post graduation!

Small Class Sizes

With a limit of 8 person classes, we’re able to offer more one-on-one time between students and licensed instructors to really focus on your individual needs and preferences. Whether you’re pursuing a focus in cosmetology and barbering, esthetics, or nail technology, you will find positive and professional support along your way.
