Cosmotology
Programs offered
The state of Massachusetts requires 1,000 hours of study at a licensed cosmetology school & the passing of the Board of Hairdressers Examination for Licensing.
Our students receive optimum individual attention & close personal instruction by our experienced instructors. Out curriculum is extensive and meets both state and national guidelines. We give our students a practical and comprehensive education which trains them in methodology to instill professional pride and develop a high degree of confidence.
Our students are trained not only in the mastery of manipulative skills, but also receive the theory of information during their related classes.
* Addition to Cosmetology Program - Manicurist License
Old Colony's Cosmetology Department is expanding the Cosmetology cirriculum to include a separate manicuring license. The manicuring license will consist of a one hundred hour program within the Cosmetology Program.
Qualified students in the junior and senior class will be participating in their shop cycle. The program is an excellent means to secure an additional license, prior to completing the required one thousand hour Cosmetology license. Students completing the manicuring program and passing the State examination will be able to be employed after school and weekends in a manicuring or beauty salon prior to graduation.
The Cosmetology staff feel this is a wonderful oppurtunity for all students. A manicuring license obtained in the local private sector ranges in price from $1,300 to $1,500 and will be of no cost to Old Colony students.
