In the Cosmetology program, students dive into the world of beauty and wellness, developing hands-on skills in hair, skin, and nails while building confidence, creativity, and professionalism. From day one, students begin their journey with Haircutting 101 and mark the milestone with our Shear Ceremony, where they receive their first pair of professional shears. As they grow in the program, students explore braiding, coloring, skincare, makeup, and more—gaining salon experience and preparing for the Ohio State Board of Cosmetology License, which is paid for by Ohio Hi-Point.

Throughout the two-year program, students study anatomy, hair structure, scalp disorders, and skin care while learning safe salon practices, infection control, and state regulations. You'll gain experience with everything from wet and thermal styling to facials and chemical services like coloring, relaxing, and perming. Students work in a professional salon environment, interacting with real clients and learning how to manage the tools, products, and business of beauty.

Whatever your pathway, whether it's employment, enrollment, or enlistment, the Cosmetology program will provide you the opportunities to reach your goals through valued industry certifications, exposure to our college partners, and by taking advantage of our Work-Based Learning program. Several of our graduates go on to work as cosmetologists and business owners while others will cut hair to help pay tuition costs as they continue their education.
