COSMETOLOGY

Adult Cosmetology

One-Year Course

A career in Cosmetology/Hairstyling offers many opportunities to both men and women. They may work in small or large shops. The general, or all-round operator, is trained to do all phases of hairdressing and cosmetology including preparing materials, demonstrating and selling, shampooing, manicuring, hairstyling, scalp treating, facials and makeup, hair cutting, rinsing, hair coloring and permanent waving.

More recently, the cosmetologist must also develop skills in barbering, such as shaving, beard and mustache shaping, etc. There are also many opportunities for the particularly competent person to specialize and to progress in such career areas as stage and television makeup, beauty consultant work, demonstrating for salons or for promotion of cosmetology products, teaching in private or public schools, product testing, management and ownership of one's own business.

This course provides a thorough foundation in the fundamental skills and knowledge of the cosmetology/hairstyling trade and the development of good work habits and attitudes, including an appreciation of the importance of safety.
