Our talented Learning Leaders provide extensive hands-on and classroom training in the program you choose.

BASIC COSMETOLOGY
Our basic cosmetology program features design, cutting, coloring, multicultural techniques, makeup, fashion trends, and the art of hairdressing in a three-phase program we call CORE, ADAPTIVE, and CREATIVE.

CORE – Learn the rules! In this introductory course, you’ll learn the basics that will let you confidently begin working on guests, and your Learning Leaders will help you blend professional skills with personal development.

ADAPTIVE – Bend the rules! Building on the skills you learned in CORE, this intermediate level teaches the value of time management, retailing, and the art of successful communication.

CREATIVE – Break the rules! This final phase takes you through advanced hairdressing and chemical work. During your last months and weeks toward graduation, you’ll spend your time in high gear, preparing yourself for your future salon career.
