our COSMETOLOGY curriculum

what will you learn in the cosmetology curriculum? —

Our Cosmetology program is built on a time-tested curriculum that celebrates the artistry of hair, makeup, and esthetics. We combine extensive hands-on training with classroom theory and savvy business skills. Throughout the program, you’ll work closely with our expert instructors to ensure your preparation for the state of Georgia’s cosmetology board exam. After that, you’ll be ready to launch a thriving career in the beauty capital of the South.

In the majority of the training hours, you’ll focus on hair care, with extensive modules covering skills such as hair cutting, hair color theory and practice, shampooing, and styling.

We also introduce our students to other beauty treatments, covering a wide variety of areas from skincare, facials, and massage to basic manicuring. We also dive into topics that will form the foundation of your practice, such as anatomy, physiology, and sanitation.

You’ll round off your studies by familiarizing yourself with state board rules, safety measures, and business skills in salon management, retailing, and client consultation – all of which will help you grow your future career path.
