Want to learn the secrets to making your clients’ look and feel their best? Taking courses in cosmetology will help you learn everything you need to know about treating and beautifying skin, hair, and nails. In terms of skin, you will learn the science behind skin care, body care, hair removal, and makeup. Treating and beautifying the skin is one of the most fundamental skills needed to being a good cosmetologist. You will learn how to clean and care for the skin, removing blemishes and improving appearance through use of cosmetic products.
In beauty school you will also learn how to enhance the appearance of clients’ hair.

You will learn draping procedures, brushing, shampooing, conditioning, scalp treatment, haircutting and hair styling procedures, braiding, wigs, and hair coloring.

Your training will also include the theoretical coursework of learning sanitation, sterilization, reflexology, bacteriology, nail anatomy, diseases and disorders, and fungus analysis and treatment. Your practical coursework will engage you in developing professional nail drill procedures, table setup, airbrushing nail art, hand and foot massage techniques, and artificial nail work.
