The Cosmetology program prepares individuals to cut, trim, and style scalp, facial, and body hair; apply cosmetic preparations; perform manicures and pedicures; massage the head and extremities, and prepare for practice as licensed cosmetologists in specialized or full-service salons. Includes instruction in hair cutting and styling, manicuring, pedicuring, facial treatments, shampooing, chemical applications, esthetics, shop management, sanitation and safety, customer service, and applicable professional and labor laws and regulations.
Course Content
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.
Students may participate in our internship program, which consists of spending several days a week in our own salon during school hours.
