FAQs
You have questions and we have answers.How long does the Alexandria Professional® Certification Course last?
Once I am registered, what type of support is available to me to help me complete my certification?
We are with you every step of the way to ensure you get the most out of this program and you are ready to start practicing. To this end, we have Ongoing Virtual Face to Face Support available to you with an AP certified educator.
Is a kit required to take a Certification Course?
Yes! All course participants are required to purchase a minimum Starter Kit, with the following two exceptions. Students registered in a beauty school can purchase the minimum of a Practice Kit. Salons/spas having more than one-course participants may purchase a minimum Starter Kit plus one Practice Kit for each course participant.
If I run out of products prior to completing my course, can I order new products?
Yes, you can. Practice is important to set you up for success with the AP treatments in your salon.
I am almost out of time to complete my course and need an extension.
Should you need additional time beyond the standard one-year allotment, we do offer an extension option. For a fee of $150, you can receive an additional 3 months of access to complete your course and certification requirements. This allows you the flexibility to continue your training without losing the progress you’ve already made.
I’ve enrolled and don’t wish to continue, can I get a refund?
We understand that sometimes learning something new can feel overwhelming, but please remember that your educator is here to guide and support you every step of the way. If you’re struggling, we encourage you to reach out to your educator directly for extra help, tips, or clarification. You can also connect with Alexandria Professional corporate for additional resources, including live chats and ongoing support, to ensure you feel confident in your progress.
Because the Professional Body Sugaring Certification Course provides immediate access to training materials upon enrollment, we are unable to offer refunds once enrollment has been completed. This policy helps protect the integrity of the program and ensures fairness for all participants. We encourage you to take full advantage of the one-year access period, ongoing educator support, and supplemental resources available to you before making a final decision about discontinuing your training.
Do I need to be a licensed beauty professional to perform sugaring treatments?
Although some companies may tell you that you do not need to be licensed to sugar, in the US and many other countries, you must hold a valid cosmetology/aesthetics license to perform any type of hair removal. Check with your state to see if they offer a shorter-term license specific to waxing hair removal which will then qualify you to perform professional sugaring treatments as well.
In some states, you may find that the State Board of Cosmetology allows a person to offer beauty treatments (including sugaring) if it is not listed in their roster of licensing regulations.
If you’re an unlicensed professional, it is your responsibility to check with your state board of cosmetology for all licensing regulations.
My salon/spa already carries and uses Alexandria Professional® products and treatments. Do you offer reduced education course rates?
Yes! If your salon or spa is an active account with AP, we offer a reduced course fee for each additional student coming from that salon/spa for our Body Sugaring Certification Course. Please contact us to find out more.
I am a student enrolled in a Beauty School. Can I still get certified?
Yes! With proof of enrollment at a beauty school, you may sign up for our courses.
Do you offer salon discounts?
Yes! Please contact us for further details.
