Welcome to the Cosmetology Department!

Our Cosmetology and Esthetician programs are gateways to exciting and rewarding careers in the professional hair and skincare industry. We offer pathways in both esthetician and cosmetology; each program is scheduled in cohorts that allow student to begin their program and provides a direct path to a certificate and licensure.

Don't miss out on the enrollment period and mark your calendars by viewing the enrollment calendar.

Our students are highly sought upon graduation for their vast knowledge and skills in the industry. Our hands-on approach to learning and in-classroom learning prepares students for the real world. Our campus salon is open to the public. In the salon our students learn how to perform services on clients, provide superb customer service, build clientele, retail products, and thrive in a salon environment. We are dedicated to student success and helping students reach their goals. Cosmetology offers many exciting careers in hair, makeup, massage, skin and body care, nail care, esthetics, sales, and education. Careers can be: owning or managing your own salon, makeup artist, hairstylist, manicurist, beauty industry sales representative, and beauty industry instructor. Join our programs and prepare for a new and exciting future!

Our programs are highly sought after so a good strategy to get an early enrollment appointment date is to take classes in other departments as you are getting ready for our programs.
