The objective of the 1500 hour cosmetology course is to prepare you for all aspects of salon service. Through classroom theory and clinical practice, you will gain the well-rounded foundation you need to become a successful cosmetologist. 

In the beginning of the program, you will learn the basic foundation of services and techniques used in salons on a daily basis. This includes shampooing, sculpting (cutting) on all hair types, proper use of tools used in the salon, sanitation and hygiene. As you proceed, you will study the methods and products used in changing hair texture and color. You will also study esthetics, which includes identifying different skin types, performing skin treatments, removal of unwanted hair and makeup application. Manicures, Pedicures and artificial nail services are also studied throughout the course. 

Our Pivot Point curriculum includes review exercises to prepare you for the State Board exam, as well as an integrated Salon Success module which is a learning guide to help you as your career advances.
