What does being a cosmetologist mean to you?
At Minnesota School of Cosmetology, being a professional cosmetologist means more than being a hairstylist. We take students in our cosmetology program beyond hairstyling techniques to teach them the increasingly complex and artistic skills necessary to be a successful cosmetologist.
Class Content
Through theory classes, practical classes and clinical floor training, students at our Minnesota cosmetology school learn to perform a variety of beauty services that cover all aspects of the beauty industry. These services include shampooing, hair cutting, hair styling, make-up application, temporary and permanent hair waving, hair straightening, hair coloring, bleaching and tinting, manicuring, facials, various skin and scalp treatments, as well as salon management and interpersonal communication skills.
The cosmetology program is designed with individual students in mind and providing skills and information based on current trends in the field of cosmetology.
