Community Outreach

Estelle Skin Care and Spa Institute students and staff regularly partner with local organizations and participate in events that benefit our community.

Estelle provided volunteer and financial support to the Hippocratic Cancer Research Foundation’s Inaugural Gala “The Wings to a Cure” 2016

The event raised over $900,000 to accelerate high-impact translational research at the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University

All of the images have failed to load.

This is most likely a TimThumb permissions error.

Go to the Justified Image Grid settings, TimThumb & CDN tab. Click check permissions then click 0755 or 0777 to see if that works (or do it manually via FTP, on the files and folders it lists there in case chmod fails). You can disable TimThumb with the 'Use TimThumb' setting and the option 'No'.

Also read the troubleshooting guide in the documentation on what else to do, especially if you are using Hostgator!

If you are using a Better WP Security plug-in go to the Better WP Security settings, System Tweaks, Filter Suspicious Query Strings: Disable

Tip: Install the official WP plugin 'Jetpack' by Automattic and enable 'Photon'. Jetpack enables you to connect your blog to a WordPress.com account to use the powerful features normally only available to WordPress.com users. It's an excellent TimThumb alternative and will make your images load faster. Note that you won't be able to use special effects due to cross-domain security limitations. Read more at: jetpack.me

What can ESCSI do to help me during my battle with cancer?

We want to help you feel more comfortable in your own skin.

Our esthetics students are trained in:

  • Recognizing the effects of cancer treatment
  • Customized facial services to help treat the skin and pamper the spirit
  • Makeup application and camouflage makeup techniques
  • Being sensitive to your emotional needs during this process
