Course Description:
Cosmetology is designed to develop proficiency in all skills of beauty culture. Activities included are shampoos and sets, permanents, scalp treatments, facial treatments, hair cuts, hair coloring, manicures, proper sanitation, and personal hygiene habits. Students also receive related instruction in cosmetology theory, human relations, sales techniques, business management and self-improvement. The Cosmetology Program ultimately qualifies students for the State Board of Beauty Culture examination, thereby providing students with the knowledge and skills to practice as a beautician in the State of Indiana.
The Cosmetology Program takes a total of 1500 hours to complete over a two-year period. In order to accumulate the number of hours necessary, second year students are required to attend on Saturdays to satisfy minimal requirements.
Students in the Cosmetology Program are required to purchase a complete beautician kit which costs approximately $500.00 ($350.00 for first year and $150.00 for second year). A non-refundable deposit of $50.00 will be collected when students are accepted into the program and are credited toward the cost of the kit. Students are required to wear official dress as specified by the beauty school. Students are required to work on each others hair as well as customers in the salon.
