COSMETOLOGY

Cosmetology students are trained and prepared to take the South Carolina Cosmetology State Board Exam. Students work under the direct supervision of licensed instructors and are required to purchase a cosmetology kit. The kit contains items used in both levels of the program and is the property of the student. The kit must be paid for during the registration period. In addition to regular school days, cosmetology students are required to attain additional hours in order to get the required number of hours to take the state board exam. Upon completion of the course and passing the licensing exam, students will be registered cosmetologists in the state of South Carolina. Students will also be able to pursue the valuable OSHA 10 Certification.
