The Cosmetology program provides students with the professional
skills necessary to pass the practical and written components of
the New York State Licensing Board Examinations.
Only licensed cosmetologists may work in salons in New York
State. To qualify for the licensing exam, students must complete
a minimum of 1,000 hours of approved instruction.
A salon clinic open to members of the local community provides
students with the opportunity to practice their technical skills
and gain real life experience in their field. Upon successful
completion, students are eligible to receive their temporary
Cosmetology license and apply to New York State to take the
written and practical licensing examinations.
