Getting Here from Jacksonville
The academy is at 175 Rainier Ln, Suite 9, St Johns, FL 32259—south of Jacksonville via I-295 and the SR-13 (San Jose Blvd) corridor. Street parking is available.
Typical routes Jacksonville students take:
- From San Marco or Southside: I-295 to the SR-13 corridor, then south into St Johns—plan for about 30–40 minutes depending on traffic.
- From Mandarin or Julington Creek: straight down SR-13, roughly 20–25 minutes door to door.
- From Orange Park: cross the river on I-295, then follow SR-13 south.
Nine weeks of that commute is the entire investment. Many students pair morning drives with class sessions, then keep their afternoons.
Serving the Whole First Coast
Jacksonville is the biggest city we serve—never the only one. Students reach the St Johns academy from across the First Coast:
- St Augustine students head north on I-95 or US-1; the academy draws aspiring estheticians from Florida's oldest city every session.
- Ponte Vedra students make a short inland drive, trading beach traffic for treatment rooms.
- Jacksonville Beach students cross the county for esthetics-only training the beaches don't offer.
- Orange Park students arrive over the I-295 river crossing.
- Middleburg students prove a nine-week program justifies a longer haul.
- Yulee students make the north-metro trip for the same reason.
Wherever you start, the pattern holds: most students drive less than 45 minutes to reach the academy.
Florida Licensure, Handled
Florida asks three things of every new esthetician: 220 hours at a state-approved school, an exam completed through that school, and DBPR registration as a Facial Specialist. New Beauty Company Aesthetics Academy walks Jacksonville students through all three.
