The basic course requires 1250 hours of study and takes three years to complete where students learn the theory of anatomy of the head, face, hands and feet, chemicals, coloring, sterilization, sanitation and safety precautions in the field. Students are also trained in the art of customer service.

The Cosmetology program teaches the most scientific approach in hair designing, manicuring and esthetics today.

 

Students are trained in specializations such as nail sculpturing, skin care, hair cutting, coloring, styling, permanent waving and ethnic styling.
