Cosmetology

Students in the Cosmetology program learn hair care skills such as shampooing, cutting, styling, relaxing, braiding, coloring, waving, and styling wigs. Instruction includes care of hands and nails, skin, and makeup artistry. Students practice these techniques and are given clinical experience in the junior and senior year by applying their skills to customers in the cosmetology clinic.

Special emphasis is placed on related information such as: sterilization, anatomy, and chemical reactions to cosmetics, customer relations, and safe and effective customer service.  Upon the completion of 1250 hours of training, students are prepared to take the State Board Examination, which is required for licensing.
