Why Choose the Cosmetology Program?
Cosmetology skills and training offer three different levels of use: hobby stylists do hair at home for friends and family, professional stylists work full-time in a salon setting, and master stylists perform life-long learning to maximize their abilities and potentially work to train others. In CPTC's cosmetology program, students get hands-on experience with real customers.
Our beauty school trains students in all aspects of professional cosmetology, from hair design and sculpting to advanced coloring. Students build skills and experience in a professional salon setting, while also participating in fashion shows and community service opportunities.
If you love working with hair and using your skill and creativity to help people look and feel good, cosmetology might be the program and career path for you.
