Cosmetology I

This course is for students who wish to pursue a career in the field of Cosmetology. Cosmetology consists of haircutting, hair coloring, shampooing, styling, arranging hair, manicures, pedicures, hair removal, scalp treatments, chemical texture services (perms and relaxers), disinfection procedures and many other services. Students are required to have a specific amount of hours in each of the subjects required by the MO State Board of Cosmetology and Barber Examiners.  Once a student has acquired 160 hours they will be allowed to work on actual clients in the salon. The Cosmetology school is open to the public, therefore clients will come to the school to have students perform services.

Prerequisites:  Students are required to have a student license issued by the MO State Board of Cosmetology and Barber Examiners prior to the beginning of school. This process takes at least 2 weeks after paperwork is submitted to the HCTC office.

Uniform required: Discussed the first day of class.
