The median wage is the 50th percentile wage estimate--50 percent of workers earn less than the median and 50 percent of workers earn more. Job Duties and Responsibilities Provide beauty services, such as shampooing, cutting, coloring, and styling hair, and massaging and treating scalp. May also apply makeup, dress wigs, perform hair removal, and provide nail and skin care services. Physical Demands of the Profession The successful practice of Barbering usually requires careful eye and hand coordination. Barbers and Barber Instructors most often work at least 8 hours per day, most of the time on their feet and with their arms extended performing, or demonstrating and correcting practical services. Such work requires some physical strength and stamina. Persons suffering from back, leg or joint ailments should consult a physician to see if they are physically able to meet these requirements. In addition, working both fields requires continuous exposure to a wide variety of hair and skin treating chemicals. Persons with allergies of any kind or sensitive skin or eye should consult a physician to see if chemical sensitivity many prohibit them from engaging in the profession. In particular, prospective students who are pregnant should consult a physician to see if they can meet practical work requirements of the curriculum including chemical exposure before enrolling. Safety Requirements Working in the field of barbering presents its own dangers to students, Barbers and instructors. Safety requirements of the profession generally fall into three broad areas: Sanitation, chemical safety, and physical safety (Please note: the following tips will be expanded upon during your course of study—should you elect to become a student—and are not intended to be exhaustive). A. Sanitation Practitioners or students of Barbering must keep their work areas and instruments sanitized and in good working order at all time. Failure to do so exposes both the practitioner or student and client to the dangers of disease or injury caused by infected or malfunctioning equipment. It is particularly important in light of the threat of AIDS and the fact that cosmetology involves work with instruments that practitioners and students maintain their implements in a clean and safe manner. Any blood drawn by a cut or scrape should never be touched by exposed flesh in the course of administering first aid, and the offending instrument should be thoroughly inspected, cleaned of nay body fluids and sanitized as soon as possible after the accident. Failure to sanitize instruments properly also exposes the student, practitioner, or client to a wide variety of other diseases or parasites, such as ringworm or other fungus infections, head lice, etc. 14 MISSION BARBER COLLEGE CATALOG 2013 B. Chemical Safety Barbering work involves the use and/or exposure to a wide variety of chemical products. Barbering students and practitioners are required to familiarize themselves with and follow the manufacturer’s directions for proper use, to observe the manufacturer’s precautions regarding the use of the product, and to consult with clients or patrons regarding any previous difficulties with the service or special needs. In particular, cosmetology chemical products should never be placed in unlabeled containers, near any food storage area, nor left in place where children can have access to them. C. Physical Safety The requirements for physical safety are the most obvious, but quiet often the most overlooked. In general, all equipment should be well maintained and never used to perform any task for which it was not designed. In addition, cosmetology implements are not toys and should not be treated as such. No horseplay or carelessness in the use of implements can be tolerated. Cosmetology implements should never be left where children have access to them. Class A Barber Objective: Upon successful completion of the course student will have acquired technical abilities, academic theories and business skills in compliance with the requirements of the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations.

Document Awarded Upon Graduation Upon completion of the Barber Instructor Course, and having met all graduation requirements and financial obligations, the institution will issue a diploma which will indicate the program of training has been satisfactory completed. Compensation to be Reasonably Expected upon Graduation Barber instructors usually earn a fixed salary, starting about the $10.00 or $20,800.00 a year. Barber instructors who become school managers usually Salary increases. In addition, school staff (especially instructors and mangers) may receive compensation packages, including profit sharing, health benefits, paid vacation, sick leave, and holidays. Physical Demands of the Profession The successful practice of Barbering usually requires careful eye and hand coordination. Barber and Barber Instructors most often work at least 8 hours per day, most of the time on their feet and with their arms extended performing, or demonstrating and correcting practical services. Such work requires some physical strength and stamina. Persons suffering from back, leg or joint ailments should consult a physician to see if they are physically able to meet these requirements. In addition, working both fields requires continuous exposure to a wide variety of hair and skin treating chemicals. Persons with allergies of any kind or sensitive skin or eye should consult a physician to see if chemical sensitivity many prohibit them from engaging in the profession. In particular, prospective students who are pregnant should consult a physician to see if they can meet practical work requirements of the curriculum including chemical exposure before enrolling. Safety Requirements Working in the field of cosmetology presents its own dangers to students, cosmetologists and instructors. Safety requirements of the profession generally fall into three broad areas: Sanitation, chemical safety, and physical safety (Please note: the following tips will be expanded upon during your course of study—should you elect to become a student—and are not intended to be exhaustive): A. Sanitation Practitioners or students of Barbering must keep their work areas and instruments sanitized and in good working order at all time. Failure to do so exposes both the practitioner or student and client to the dangers of disease or injury caused by infected or malfunctioning equipment. It is particularly important in light of the threat of AIDS and the fact that cosmetology involves work with instruments that practitioners and students maintain their implements in a clean and safe manner. Any blood drawn by a cut or scrape should never be touched by exposed flesh in the course of administering first aid, an the offending instrument should be thoroughly inspected, cleaned of nay body fluids and sanitized as soon as possible after the accident. Failure to sanitize instruments properly also exposes the student, practitioner, or client to a wide variety of other diseases or parasites, such as ringworm or other fungus infections, head lice, etc. 19 MISSION BARBER COLLEGE CATALOG 2013 B. Chemical Safety Barbering work involves the use and/or exposure to a wide variety of chemical products. Barber students and practitioners are required to familiarize themselves with and follow the manufacturer’s directions for proper use, to observe the manufacturer’s precautions regarding the use of the product, and to consult with clients or patrons regarding any previous difficulties with the service or special needs. In particular, cosmetology chemical products should never be placed in unlabeled containers, near any food storage area, nor left in place where children can have access to them. C. Physical Safety The requirements for physical safety are the most obvious, but quiet often the most overlooked. In general, all equipment should be well maintained and never used to perform any task for which it was not designed. In addition, cosmetology implements are not toys and should not be treated as such. No horseplay or carelessness in the use of implements can be tolerated. Cosmetology implements should never be left where children have access to them.

Manicurist 600 Clock Hours The manicuring business is more popular today than it has ever been. Many states have a separate license for Manicurists. Manicuring became a “big business” with the introduction of new products and services to strengthen and beautify the fingernails and, in some cases, the toenails. Nail wrapping and the application of artificial nails have been added to the service offered in beauty salons and also in some barber salons. Document Awarded Upon Graduation Upon completion of the Manicuring Course, and having met all graduation requirements and financial obligations, the institution will issue a diploma which will indicate the program of training has been satisfactory completed. Compensation to be Reasonably Expected upon Graduation Manicurists and Pedicurists working in Texas Statewide can expect to earn a median cash salary of $18,500 or $8.89 per hour. The median wage is the 50th percentile wage estimate--50 percent of workers earn less than the median and 50 percent of workers earn more. Half of the people in this job earn between $15,959 ($7.67 per hour) and $22,296 ($10.72 per hour)(i.e., between the 25th and 75th percentiles). An entry level worker can expect to earn $15,506 ($7.45 per hour) while an experienced worker can expect to earn $22,725 ($10.93 per hour). Annual wages have been calculated by multiplying the hourly wage by a "year-round, full-time" hours figure of 2080 hours. For those occupations where there is not an hourly wage published, the annual wage has been directly calculated from the reported survey data. 21 MISSION BARBER COLLEGE CATALOG 2013 These estimates are based on 79 mail surveys of establishments in the area taken through November, 2009 and have a relative standard error of 4.42%. The relative standard error (RSE) is a measure of the reliability of a survey statistic. The smaller the relative standard error, the more precise the estimate Job Duties and Responsibilities Clean and shape customers' fingernails and toenails. May polish or decorate nails.
