Meet the Instructor

This program is designed to provide students with marketable skills to enter the field of cosmetology. Once the skills are acquired, students perform services for customers in a salon setting.

Upon completion of the program, a student might find a position as a salon manager/receptionist, a cosmetician, skin care or hair products salesperson or an assistant to a color consultant.

With further training and experience, and upon completion of the required 1,000 hours, students are eligible to take the New York State Appearance Enhancement license exam (students may have additional opportunities to attend advanced seminars or classes between their junior and senior year). Passing the exam qualifies the graduate to work as a hairstylist, natural hair stylist, aesthetician or nail technician.
