Students in the
Licensed Cosmetology program study topics such as: safety, history, careers, professionalism,
infection control, chemistry, PA State Cosmetology law, salon business, and
anatomy & physiology. In addition,
students are training in hair care skills such as shampooing, hair cutting,
styling, braiding, perming, relaxing, coloring, foiling, extensions, and
up-dos. Instruction also includes the
care of hands and nails, feet and toes, skin and makeup artistry. Students practice these techniques on
mannequins, practice hands, or people.
During their junior and

services on customers at the cosmetology clinic-“Spartan Spa”.
Upon completion of 1250
