Cosmetology

Our cosmetology classes cover design, cutting, coloring, multicultural techniques, makeup, fashion trends, manicuring, pedicuring, basic facials, and the art of hairdressing. The cosmetology program is divided up into three phases that we call Core, Adaptive, and Creative. Each level of training builds on what was taught in the previous level. 

CORE

Your Learning Leaders will help you blend your professional skills with specialized personal development training. You will hit the ground running and will be handed a lot of responsibilities right off the bat. Learning Leaders will be with you at every step of the way to provide personal and professional support.

This final phase takes you through advanced hairdressing and chemical work. During the final push towards graduation, you'll spend your time in vigorously preparing yourself for your future career in the beauty industry.

If a student delays their graduation for any reason, such as family responsibilities, day care issues, and other life events, which causes them to graduate after their original contract end date they are not considered an on-time graduate.

Supplies, Kit and Tuition Costs
    Fees

      In order to pay for the cost of education many of our students apply for student loans through the U. S. Department of Education or privately. Student loans go into repayment after a student leaves school. The median loan debt listed refers to the amount of money the typical student owes once they have graduated from their program of study. Private Education Loan debt are loans obtained from a bank or credit union. Institutional financing is money owed directly to the school upon completion of the program.
