Length: 350 clock hours, (Plus 150 hours, safety and sanitation and 100 hours career development for a total of 600)

Description: Esthetics is the study of the skin, its associated structures, skin diseases and disorders. It includes the related services of esthetics, make-up, body wrapping and body treatments, temporary hair removal, eyebrow arching, lash and brow tints, and artificial lash application.

Format: Students progress through the course in four levels: freshman, sophomore, junior and senior. To progress from one level to the next, students must complete the required hours, required operations, written evaluations and practical evaluations for each level.

Freshman level is three weeks and is spent in the classroom setting where students learn the basics in esthetics and practice on each other and models. Students are given written and practical evaluations at the end of each week.

After successful completion of the 3 weeks of freshman classes, students are assigned to the clinic floor to begin practice of practical skills and customer service skills. Once assigned to the clinic, students attend other classes each week.

In addition to the above mentioned classes, students also attend half- and full-day classes at the sophomore, junior, and senior levels to increase their skills in both cosmetology and business and in preparation for written exams and for the state licensing exam.

Gainful Employment

The occupational outlook for cosmetology careers is very promising. The salon industry continues to grow and continues to employ large numbers of professionals. In the latest national survey conducted for the National Accrediting Commission of Career Arts and Sciences, there were 1,682,641 professionals employed in the nation’s 370,250 beauty salons, barber shops, skin care salons and nail salons. New employees were difficult to find. Approximately 3 out of every 4 salon owners that looked for new employees reported difficulty in finding new applicants. Recent trends indicate a steady demand for licensed professionals in the industry.
