This course can make you a successful professional in cosmetology. As a graduate, you will have a diversity of jobs opened to you including hairstylist, colorist, nail technician, educator, platform artist or make up artist. You may choose to work in an independent salon, a spa salon, a national franchise or an independent chain.

Students will learn the step-by-step procedures for manicuring, pedicure, tips, wraps, acrylic nails and basic nail art procedures as well as to identify the chemicals commonly used in the nail salon, how they can cause harm, how to protect themselves and their clients and how to read MSDS (material safety data sheet).
