Cosmetology and Barbering
The Barbering and Cosmetology Pathway introduces students to the foundational theories and practical skills of hair styling, coloring, chemical texturizing, facials, and rigorous sanitation practices. Students log substantial studio hours as they transition from basic techniques to advanced cutting and anatomy, gaining hands-on clinical experience in professional hair and nail care. The pathway also focuses on salon management, professional ethics, and focused preparation for the state board licensing examination.
