Instructors: Ms. Avila and Mrs. Schaffer
The Licensed Cosmetology Program prepares students to apply their knowledge and skills in all phases of cosmetology. Everything from finger waving to hair-color application is taught to the students in the practical portion of the program. In the theoretical part of the program, students are taught the fundamentals of hair and its properties, skin care, chemical services, nail care, sterilization and decontamination. Most important, the students are offered a well-rounded People Skills Program, as communication with other individuals is of the utmost importance.
Upon completion of the program, students who have accumulated a minimum of 1500 actual hours in the course, and who have successfully passed both their practical and theoretical work with a 75% average or better, become eligible to take the State Board Exam in Baltimore. Successful candidates become licensed in the State of Maryland to work at any full-service salon in Maryland.
Upon passing the State Board Exam, students have a variety of avenues they can pursue with their State Board License, such as a hairstylist, colorist, make-up technician, nail technician, demonstrator for a major manufacturer, and educator.
Opening a salon would require an individual to pursue further education in the business field to better prepare for a successful business career. Both credit and non-credit courses are offered toward this end at both two- and four-year institutions.
A career in cosmetology is a rewarding experience monetarily as well as psychologically. Making someone look good AND feel good is no easy task. It takes someone with a flair for the arts and an open mind to humanity. The Cosmetology Field has become an in-demand career for individuals who enjoy hard work, great pay, and personal satisfaction.
