Program Description

The Cosmetology course is a program that has instructor-led classroom and clinical training as well as practical hands-on application. Training encompasses three types of learning: theoretical knowledge, the foundation of the students' education; practical experience, the application of knowledge; and professional business building skills, vital for the student's success. Each phase of the student's education emphasizes a different combination of learning approaches. The Cosmetology program is comprised of hair and scalp treatments, hair care rinses, hair shaping, hair arranging, chemical waving and relaxing, hair coloring, facials, skin care, hair removal, manicuring/pedicuring, professional business-building skills in management and career development, and employability skills.

The last phase of the program will concentrate on Precision Trends in haircutting, hairstyling, and advanced hair coloring and re-texturizing. During this phase of training the student will be accompanied by licensed educators within a salon environment. Students will learn the latest styles and techniques in haircutting, hair styling and hair coloring.
