Our Cosmetology Curriculum

We believe firsthand experiences and brand knowledge can help make the transition from student to professional feel seamless. Our 1,500-hour program teaches students everything they need to know to graduate as confident beauty professionals. With a strong emphasis on hands-on experiences and a positive, engaging atmosphere, our cosmetology curriculum includes:

• Haircutting
• Coloring
• Hair design
• Skincare

When not in the classroom, students master their skills in our salon and spa. Under the tutelage of supportive, licensed professionals, you’ll gain first-hand experience working on real clients using leading products. Our salon and partnerships with Paul Mitchell, Dermalogica, Davines, MUD, and other companies set the stage for real-world scenarios that go above and beyond classwork.

We know that making it in the beauty business requires more than technical skill alone. This is why part of our curriculum includes business strategies specific to the industry. Whether you want to own your own spa or be part of a salon beauty team, our business courses offer real-world strategies students can take with them for a lifetime. Alongside technical skills, students learn how to:

• Build a client base

With resume-worthy business knowledge in their toolkit, students can take their career in multiple directions as recent grads and later on as seasoned professionals.
