Cosmetology

Course Overview

Cosmetology I offers an introduction to cosmetology with an emphasis on basic practical skills and theories including roller control, quick styling, shampooing, hair coloring, permanent waving, facials, manicuring, business and personal ethics, bacteriology, and sanitation.  In the second semester, greater emphasis is placed on the application and development of these skills.  The State of Indiana requires a total of 1500 hours of required instruction learning advanced skills in styling, hair coloring, permanent waving, facials and manicuring.  Students will also study anatomy and physiology, professionalism, and salon management in relation to cosmetology.  Upon completing this program and passing the State examination, students become licensed and are prepared to be employed in a salon.  Students also pursue 2 and 4-year postsecondary degrees in business, fashion design, or related fields.  Some students use their license to work while continuing their education.
