Our School

At Northern Westchester School of Hairdressing and Cosmetology, we are proud of our progressive approach in developing a curriculum that does more than simply teach you to pass the State Board Exams. Frankly, we believe that much of the success of our graduates and of our school is due to the personal attention and extra effort that our instructors and staff are willing to give.

Placement Assistance Service

Our graduates measure our success. We take a great deal of pride and care in our post-graduate Placement Assistance. Prior to graduation, students are counseled to help them identify some professional goals. We then try to match our graduates with salons that will help them meet their goals. Salons from New York City to Poughkeepsie seek our graduates for employment. While we make every effort to place our students, we cannot guarantee employment to our graduates.

Educational Objectives

We are committed to providing you with an education that will prepare you for the professional world. Our educational staff provides you with up to date methods and procedures that give you the competitive edge you need. Preparation of both the written and practical New York State Board Examination is integrated throughout the course insuring that you receive a well-rounded education and proper preparation for the two licensing exams. By setting our standards high, we challenge you to achieve the skills necessary to enter the exciting, competitive field of Hairdressing & Cosmetology.

Career Outlook

ob openings are plentiful. In a recent survey conducted for the National Accrediting Commission of Cosmetology Arts & Sciences, salon owners reported that they had enough business to support an additional 391,000 positions. In addition, approximately 3 out of 4 salon owners reported difficulty in finding and hiring people to fill vacancies. Education should translate into job skills and job skills should translate into employment, hairdressing and cosmetology provides you with ample opportunity to fulfill both.
