Cosmetology

What You’ll Learn


Students will work alongside professionals in a full service, interactive salon and spa using advanced salon techniques to provide hair, nail and skincare services; and to create artistic designs using the latest technology, trends and brand name products. Core skills include entrepreneurship, salon ecology, safety and electricity, general anatomy and chemistry.

Technical skills include hair care and treatments, esthetics, nail technology, hair cutting and hair coloring.
