Cosmetology @ EL

This two-year program allows students interested in the field of Cosmetology to begin their training by earning approximately 600 hours of the 1500 hours required for a Maine or New Hampshire Cosmetology license over the two years. These hours will transfer to post-secondary Cosmetology schools in the area and enable students to begin their studies with a portion of the program hours completed. Beginning with basic theory and advancing to practical skills, students will explore hair sculpting, color and perm design, as well as basic nail and skin applications. Students will practice their craft in a live salon environment where they will be responsible for day to day business operations and inventory control systems.
