Cosmetology

Cosmo (which is short for Cosmetology) teaches you how to perform various braiding techniques, a proper shampoo service, blow drying in a professional manner, and flat ironing. All of these hair services are taught with professional styling tools and products. The aesthetics portion of the course introduces you to preliminary manicures, pedicures and waxing. 

In Grade 11, the skill level and hands-on, practical work increases. In both the salon and classroom, you will develop a deeper level of understanding of the scientific and chemical reactions that occur with hair, skin and nails. Hair and aesthetic aspects that are taught include perming, highlighting, blunt hair cuts, barbering, the use of professional grade metal implements and new products to improve the results of your manicure and pedicure services. Mini facials and a continuation of hair removal techniques will be taught, as well. 

Grade 12 will give you a great foundation of both hair and aesthetics services. You will learn hair colouring, long layered haircuts, spa manicures, spa pedicures and facial treatments. There is an emphasis on independent theory work, and research projects. Also, there is ample amount of time to work on one another and on clients to hone your acquired skills. This course is fun and interactive and will give you a deep understanding of techniques and the ability and confidence to perform various hair and aesthetics services at a superior level. The Grade 11 Hairstyling and Aesthetics course is a pre-requisite for this.
