The Aesthetics Institute

In 1985 the Oregon College of Electrology and Thermology
was founded in Downtown Portland by Cynthia Mendoza.  After
a few years of operation the college changed its name to the
International College of Electrology and Thermology with the
new opening of a satellite college in Bilboa, Spain.  

It was through guest lecturing conducted by Ms. Mendoza in the
late 80’s that she discovered the curriculum for esthetics and
nail technology to be lacking in technology, skills, and the
sciences.  As a result of her observations, Ms. Mendoza
decided to develop a curriculum and include esthetics and nail
technology to her college.  

In an effort to better represent the college the name was
changed to the Aesthetics Institute.  In 1997 Ms. Mendoza
moved the Aesthetics Institute to the SE neighborhood of
Portland, Oregon.  Today the Aesthetics Institute continues to
thrive in its efforts to promote a higher education.
