• Why It's Cool to Be a Hairdresser. - A special message from John Paul DeJoria

The Cosmetology Program

Our basic cosmetology program features design, cutting, coloring, multicultural techniques, makeup, fashion trends, and the art of hairdressing in a three-phase program we call CORE, ADAPTIVE, and CREATIVE.

CORE – Learn the rules! In this introductory course, you’ll learn the basics that will let you confidently begin working on guests, and your Learning Leaders will help you blend professional skills with personal development.

ADAPTIVE – Apply the rules! Building on the skills you learned in CORE, this intermediate level teaches the value of time management, retailing, and the art of successful communication.

CREATIVE – Expand the rules! This final phase takes you through advanced hairdressing and chemical work. During your last months and weeks toward graduation, you'll spend your time in high gear, preparing yourself for your future salon career.

Cosmetology: A Growing Industry

A multitude of exciting career choices await the professional cosmetologist. You can design high-fashion hair for the runway, become a celebrity stylist, or work in print photography, television, opera, theater, ballet, or film. As your career progresses, you can become a platform artist, salon or spa manager or owner, educator, manufacturing consultant or artistic director, or retail specialist. In addition to hair design, the industry offers opportunities in skin care, makeup, aroma therapy, nail artistry, and sales and marketing. Estheticians are working for plastic surgeons and dermatologists, doing facial services, waxing, and assisting. Nail technicians are working in medical spas with podiatrists. Cosmetologists can work in fields ranging from research and development to copy writing and journalism for the beauty industry. With an exceptional educational foundation, you’ll be able to choose from unlimited opportunities.
