Cosmetology
The Cosmetology program prepares individuals with the theory and skills to care for hair, nails, and skin with an emphasis on hygiene, sanitation, customer relations, and salon management. Satisfactory completion of the courses qualifies students for the Mississippi State Board of Cosmetology certification examination. The Cosmetology curriculum is designed to comply with the standards of the Mississippi State Board of Cosmetology and the requirement for 1500 contact hours for students. Students are required to receive 230 hours of theory (a minimum of six hours per week throughout the entire period of instruction, conducted in a separate classroom by a licensed instructor), 1200 hours of supervised skill preparation and clinic work, and 70 hours assigned at the instructor’s discretion as needs of individual students dictate.
