COSMETOLOGY

Cosmetology is the study or art of cosmetics and their use. You are about to start on a journey that can take you in many directions and holds the potential to make you a confident, successful professional in cosmetology. As a cosmetologist, you will become a trusted professional, the person your clients rely on to provide them with ongoing service, enabling them to look and feel their best. You will become as personally involved in your clients’ lives as their physicians or dentists are, and with study and practice, you can be as much in demand as well-regarded medical provider.

After graduation, you will be facing a diversity of job possibilities including hairstylist, colorist, nail technician, educator, platform artist, or makeup artist. You may choose to work in an independent salon, a day spa, a national franchise, an independent chain, or you may even choose to be open your own salon at some point.
