Cosmetology
You’ve probably heard the saying Look Good, Feel Good. In the cosmetology program, students put that theory into practice to help others look and feel their best. From haircutting, coloring and styling to manicures, pedicures, and skin care students in this program will learn the ins and outs of salon and spa treatments and techniques as well as essential safety and sanitation and even how to run a small business.
Through this program, students will learn techniques and have the opportunity to practice them on clients. After completion of the cosmetology program, students will be eligible to sit for their Cosmetology Operators License. If you have a strong sense of style, great people skills, and an eye for beauty this pathway could be for you.
