How we started

Wildflower Skin Institute wasn't just founded—it was birthed from a dream. A dream that education could be joyful again. That students could feel genuinely supported. That diversity isn't just welcomed, but celebrated.

Meet the team

In 2022, over a heartfelt lunch and a bold idea, Kendra Harris and Paula Hatch began envisioning a space where future estheticians could flourish—not just in skill, but in confidence, creativity, and community. That moment became the spark that ignited the creation of Wildflower Skin Institute.

Our Mission

We believe education should be transformative, not transactional. That's why we've created an environment where students don't just learn techniques—they discover their potential, build confidence, and join a network that supports them throughout their careers.

 While career outcomes vary based on individual effort and market conditions, we're committed to providing the foundation for your success.

Arizona's school of choice for aspiring beauty professionals.

Teaching Excellence

Our instructors aren't just teachers, they're active practitioners who understand today's beauty landscape. They bring real-world experience directly into your education because they're living it every day.

Strong Track Record

Numbers don't lie: All of our graduates to date have passed state boards and earned their licenses. While we're proud of this track record, individual results may vary based on effort, study habits, and other factors. This reflects our commitment to comprehensive education and student support.

Industry Exclusivity

We're 1 of only 4 schools nationwide offering DiamondGlow certification and the ONLY school in Arizona providing Éminence Organic products to students. You'll train with the same premium brands that elite spas use.

Ongoing Support

Graduation isn't goodbye—it's just the beginning. We maintain an active graduate network where career opportunities are shared, questions are answered, and professional connections are made.

Radical Inclusion

"Inclusion is not tolerance. It is unquestioned acceptance." All genders, all backgrounds, all experience levels. You belong here—exactly as you are. We're proud to foster an environment where everyone feels seen, supported, and celebrated.

Why We're Different

We host events for the entire beauty community, not just our students. Because when everyone grows, the whole industry benefits.

Community Over Competition

Modern Connection

Our students create Instagram accounts to connect with each other, building friendships and professional networks that extend beyond graduation.
