COSMETOLOGY
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
10 MONTHS
!
LIVE WORK CLIENTS
IN A REAL SALON
ATMOSPHERE
Cosmetology is a glamorous, practical
and immediately applicable technical
program designed to teach the art of
cosmetics for the skin, hair and nails
as well as the proper application of
products. Because the cosmetology
field involves many different areas,
you will be exposed to a wide variety
of situations, including: haircutting,
hairstyling, hair color, chemical texture
services, shampooing, manicuring,
pedicuring, artificial nails, facials,
makeup, infection control, scientific
concepts, business skills, and much
more!
The curriculum is directly related to the
Kansas State Board of Cosmetology
laws and licensing, and as styles,
fashions, new regulations, and hour
requirements change, our curriculum is
continually updated.
You’ll gain practical experience
working with the public in a real salon
atmosphere. Cosmetology also focuses
on hands-on experience in receptionist
desk management, appointment
scheduling, student and mannequin
practice, daily customer appointments,
dispensary procedures, and proper use
of equipment. You keep a daily record
of the number and type of services you
provide, and this progress record will be
submitted to the Kansas State Board of
Cosmetology at the conclusion of the
program as the official report of hours
and services.
Stackable credentials available.
