Licensed Cosmetology
I and II
(Appearance Enhancement)
One or Two Year Program
This course is designed to provide students with marketable
skills to enter the field of cosmetology. Once skills are acquired,
students perform services for customers in a laboratory setting.
Upon completion of the first year of the two-year licensing
program, a student might find a position as a salon manager/receptionist,
a cosmetics, 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 hair stylist, natural hair
stylist, aesthetician or nail technician.
