The PB Cosmetology Education Centre Hair Braiding Course, which is taught in English, consists of fifty (50) hours of instruction in the art, science, and business of professional hair braiding. A comprehensive, full service approach applicable in today’s modern salon environment is stressed.  State Laws, Professional Image, Single Box Braids, Afro Weave, Cornrows, Yarn Braids, Coils and Twist Extensions, Loc Grooming/Styling, Sanitation and other various braiding applications are covered in the course. The student will receive instruction in “theory” which consists of textbook and lecture oriented material, as well as “practical” instruction that consist of classroom and clinical hands on experience.

In the first twenty-five (25) hours of the program the student is designated “junior” status. Junior students receive instruction in all areas covered in the course. No previous knowledge of any aspect of hair braiding is required or assumed. Students learn through combination of lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on practical experiences on manikins. The opportunity is also provided for students to practice on each other so as to offer a more realistic learning experience and to demonstrate the importance of exemplary braids for the professional hair braider. Junior students wear white uniforms to signify their student status.

In the remaining twenty-five (25) hours of the program the student is afforded the “senior” status. Senior learning activities take place in the classroom and the clinic. Along with continued theory and classroom practical assignments on models, senior students perform braiding services of all kinds on paying clinic clients. The Senior Clinic, while still a controlled educational environment, strives to reflect as realistically as possible a modern salon environment. During this phase of the program the student is guided in gaining experience designed not only to develop and perfect the skills previously acquired but also to aid in the development of speed, confidence, customer relations, and professionalism required for success in a modern salon environment. Senior students often receive tips from clients pleased with the nail services provided. Senior students wear a black uniform to display their status
