Cosmetology is a 1000 hours program that includes the study and practice of all aspects of the beautification and care of the hair, skin, and nails.
This program provides for both classroom instruction and supervised practice of job-related skills such as hairdressing, haircutting and coloring, manicuring, and skin care services. This also includes the study of related subjects, such as bacteriology, anatomy, chemistry, and health; and uses the Milady curriculum to teach students to see, think, create, and adapt themselves as designers.
