Hair Cutting
Build your cutting skills. Learn the basic terminology, methodology, and shapes of haircuts. In addition, you will be introduced to trends like razor cutting, fringe, freehand techniques, and collection techniques. Gain the knowledge you’ll need for day-to-day salon work as well as innovative cuts.

Chemical Texturizing Services
Permanent waves and chemical straightening (or relaxing) are techniques cosmetologists use regularly. They require altering the chemical bonds of the hair’s structure to permanently alter its texture. Here you can learn about the best types of chemicals to use, how to measure the elasticity of hair and otherwise analyze it, and the various methods used to relax hair.

Manicuring/Pedicuring
You are likely accustomed to caring for and painting your own nails, but learning how to perform at a professional level requires additional training. In this class you can learn about the structure and anatomy of the nail and nail bed, sanitation techniques, treating cuties, repairing cracked nails, and applying gels.

Advanced Hair Coloring
In this course, you will build on the fundamentals of hair coloring to more fully develop your skillset. The class covers the science and chemistry of coloring, the various formulations, popular application techniques, and development times. You can also learn more about the differences between demi-permanent color and semi-permanent color.

Salon Management
Whatever path you want your career to take, gaining some basic management skills will help you find success. Here students will learn about issues such as client relations, bookkeeping, and business ethics. You can also gain knowledge about the legal aspects of management such as worker’s compensation.
