This program, conducted through a contract with state approved schools of cosmetology, is designed to begin to
prepare students to qualify for the Illinois Licensing Examination in Cosmetology. The program consists of 520
hours per year for a total of 1040 hours of the 1500 hours of instruction required for state licensing. Classroom
and practical experiences include a variety of beauty treatments including the care of hair, complexion, and hands.
Instruction includes: hair cutting, hair styling, chemical treatments, hair coloring, and manicuring. Bacteriology,
anatomy, hygiene, sanitation, salon management, and customer relations are also emphasized. Students should be
able to read text materials written at a 10th grade level, and be able to follow multiple step directions working
alone and in a team environment. Students should also be able to follow safety procedures and work
appropriately with the public. Students should expect to attend class and do clinical work that may extend beyond
the regular high school day, and therefore must provide their own transportation. Students are also responsible
for the remaining hours of instruction typically completed after high school graduation.
