This paper analyses the social expectancy of the new national esthetician certificate system revised in 2008 and the social reputation and self-confidence of estheticians. From the survey and analysis, this paper notes that most of estheticians were graduates of university or college and ages of 20 to 50. 82% of the respondents consider the national certification as the essential element for the job and the most of them are in favor to give monetary incentive(79%) or promotional incentive(66%) to the national certificate holders. Many respondents(53%) think the esthetic shop as of great prospect, 64% have positive view with their job or certificate and 68% are satisfied with their job. There are no stochastically meaningful different view between job holder and certificate holder on the survey items but on the item of monetary and promotion incentive. It is believed that the information given by this study is useful for the strategic planning to make desirable social image of esthetician as a professional and to advance the esthetician certificate and the education system.
