Cosmetology Course Phases

The first phase at the Academy, Foundations, is spent learning the fundamentals of all facets of cosmetology over eight weeks. Our experienced educators provide step-by-step instruction including lectures, discussions, tests, demonstrations, practical application and the hands-on experience needed to have sufficient skills to perform services on guests. Audio-visual aids enhanced by the use of textbooks, printed illustrations, and evaluations are used in an effort to stimulate growth in knowledge and skills for the individual.

Units of study during Foundations include: Hair Design, Hair Cutting, Hair Color, Permanent Waving and Guest Service.

After the successful completion of Foundation classes, students become Senior Students. Students are assigned to a schedule whereby they begin to perform services on guests on the clinic floor and continue attending Theory and LAB’s each week. This combination of LAB classroom and clinic provides the exposure necessary to master speed and accuracy of technical skills.
