Students taking this two-year course must attend 1,000 hours of instruction before taking the New York State Cosmetology Board exam. Topics of study include hair styling, haircutting, coloring, highlighting, wiggery, cosmetics, skin care and nail technology. Upon completion, many students find work as a licensed cosmetologist, while others take courses at an advanced technical school or a two- or four-year college. Students can receive a third unit of science over two years. Visit the Cosmetology Gallery. |
