COSMETOLOGY COURSE

Description:
This course, which is taught in English, consists of twelve hundred (1200) hours of instruction in the art, science,
and business of professional beauty care. A comprehensive full service approach applicable in today’s salon
environment is stressed. The student will receive instruction in “theory” (textbook/lecture oriented material) and in
“clinical” experiences (actual models and clients).

The first six hundred (600) hours of the course the student is designated “junior” status. Learning activities take
place in the classrooms separate from the “Clinic” to assure a quiet and orderly learning environment. Junior
students receive instruction in the basic methods of all the areas covered in the course. No previous knowledge of
any aspect of cosmetology is required or assumed. Students learn through a combination of lectures, visual aids,
demonstrations, and “hands on” practical experiences on mannequins and component hair. Opportunity is also
provided for students to practice on each other and models for testing to offer a more realistic learning experience.
Juniors wear white uniforms to signify their student status.

The second six hundred (600) hours of the course the student is afforded “senior” status. Senior learning activities
take place in the classrooms and the clinic. Along with continued theory and mannequin assignments, senior
students perform beauty services as realistically as possible to a modern salon environment. During this phase of the
course the student is guided in gaining experience designed not only to develop and perfect the skills previously
acquired, but to aid in the development of the speed, confidence, salesmanship, customer relation skills and
professionalism required for success in the professional salon environment. Senior students often receive tips from
clients who are satisfied with the beauty services provided. Senior students wear black uniforms to differentiate
themselves from junior students.
