Cosmetology students begin in their sophomore year with basic skills in shampooing, manicuring, scalp treatments, facials, and pedicures. They progress to more intricate procedures such as haircutting, permanent waving, and hair coloring.
Third year students are eligible to begin working in a licensed salon allowing them the opportunity to accumulate work experience and earn wages. Cosmetology is a very rewarding profession because of the many job opportunities such as aesthetician, hairdresser, make up artist, nail technician, platform artist, instructor, State Board member/examiner, salon owner/manager, and haircutter.
The above is part of the 1500 hours required to take the written and practical State Board test.
