COSMETOLOGY: Students learn basic and advanced cosmetology skills to become a licensed cosmetologist with expertise in hair cutting, coloring, perming, and styling as well as manicuring, pedicuring, and facials. In addition, cosmetology students learn retail cosmetic sales, salon development and practice those skills in a model salon/lab setting. As hairstylists and cosmetologists become more experienced and gain a following, they can expect their earnings to increase. Some manage salons or decide to open their own salon while others become sales representatives or image consultants. Some cosmetology graduates even decide to teach in barber and cosmetology schools themselves.
