Cosmetology Program
Cosmetologists perform personal services
to improve the appearance of customers.
Hair services may include a shampoo, cut,
style, chemical wave and color applications.
Cosmetologists may also give facials, apply
makeup and give manicures and pedicures.
 Opportunities
for employment occur in independently owned
or large chain beauty salons, resort hotels,
cruise ships, motion picture or television
studios, industry journal and textbook publishers,
and cosmetic firms. The student
not only learns theoretical concepts during
classroom lecture hours, but must also apply
those concepts during laboratory
work and clinic practice under the direct
supervision of expert instructors.
Esthetician Program
This is a study of the artistic and scientific
principles of esthetics, and its theory,
concepts and applications. The course includes
the study of the skin and analysis of skin
types and conditions, maintenance and corrective
facial treatments, facial massage techniques,
product knowledge and application, makeup
techniques, hair removal, sales techniques
and communication skills.
Employment opportunities for estheticians
are available in full service salons, day
spas, resort spas, cruise ships, exclusive
hotels, and dermatology clinics. Full and
part time positions are available.
Estheticians work in clean, well-ventilated,
and pleasant surroundings. They should be
prepared to spend considerable time on their
feet, although some estheticians are able
to work from a seated position. They are
exposed to chemicals in the cleansers, lotions
and other facial products used in this profession.
 Manicurist-Esthetics

the student will learn all of the skills
taught in the Manicuring Program and the
Esthetics Program. At graduation, a separate
certificate will be awarded for both Manicuring
and Esthetics.

are the same as those for the Manicuring
Program combined with the Educational Objectives
or Course Goals for the Esthetics Program.

combined with the Contents of Units Instruction
of the Esthetics Program.
The textbooks and kits issued to the student
are the same as those issued in the Manicuring
Program and the Esthetics Program.
Manicuring Program
Manicurists, or nail technicians, clean,
shape, and apply polish to fingernails and
toenails. They are also trained to apply
artificial nails, nail tips and nail wraps.
Some manicurists enjoy nail art and can
produce unusual effects using airbrushes
and three-dimensional ornaments.
The course prepares students for positions
as professional manicurists. The student
not only learns theoretical concepts of
nail care, nail grooming and basic nail
artistry, but must also demonstrate practical
clinical procedures. The student is taught
employability skills and prepared for the
state licensing examination.
Manicurists work indoors usually in bright
and cheerful salons. They do most of their
work while seated at a manicure table with
their arms resting comfortably on it. They
should not be allergic to the products used
to create artificial nails. They work with
all kinds of people, some easy to please
and others are demanding. Manicurists need
to be tactful and diplomatic. Artistic flair
and creativity will help them in their work.
Sales skills are also important in promoting
both their services and the products they
offer.
Instructor Training
This course is designed to prepare a licensed
cosmetologist to teach all phases of the basic
cosmetology curriculum in a licensed school.
The student not only learns theoretical concepts
but must also demonstrate practical clinical
procedures by first assisting a licensed instructor
in the classroom and then completing practice teaching in a classroom. The student
is taught employability skills and given a
review of the cosmetology curriculum. Finally
the student is prepared for the state licensing
exam for cosmetology instructors.
Applicants must have an active cosmetology
license to enter this training program. Graduates
from this program must pass the state practical
and written exam prior to being issued a cosmetology
instructor license.
Cosmetology instructors find employment in
schools where they teach cosmetology, manicuring
and esthetics. Job openings occur in proprietary,
vocational and technical schools, and may
be either full or part time. Earnings increase
with experience and vary from one region of
the country to another.
