Build Skills That Matter.
The Cosmetology Program is designed to prepare students for employment in cosmetology, barbering, and hair design, as well as skin and nail care. This program prepares students for employment in a salon and/or to open a new salon or barbering business. Students in this program develop communication, professional behavior, and other core skills for working in this profession. Students work with guests in a well-equipped lab and perform these skills with the newest techniques, products, and equipment available in the industry. Students learn to communicate with customers, analyze skin, hair, and nails, and perform the duties of hair cutting, coloring, styling, chemical texture services, basic skin and nail care, and hair extension procedures.
