The Barber course utilizes the most comprehensive, up-to-date principles of teaching Barbering. It offers
a step-by-step, practical development of the subject matter to help lay the foundation for a better
understanding of the nature of hair and skin as protein substances and the products used in professional

obligations, the institution will issue a diploma which will indicate the program of training has been
satisfactory completed.
13
MISSION BARBER COLLEGE CATALOG 2013
Compensation to be Reasonably Expected upon Graduation
Hairdressers and Hairstylists working in Texas Statewide can expect to earn median cash salary of
$22,023 or $10.59 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.
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.

theories and business skills in compliance with the requirements of the Texas Department of

We believe that it takes more than good students and an advanced curriculum to produce an effective,
progressive cosmetology school. It also requires well informed, highly skilled educators in the field of
cosmetology. The key to achieving this goal is providing teachers with the proper educational support.
The fundamental role of an educator is to create an environment for effective teaching and learning. An
effective cosmetology educator engages students in learning experiences that are up-to-date, accurate,
and based on professional procedures used in the field of cosmetology.
The challenge of cosmetology teaching is to creatively adapt both to changing techniques in the field
and to the diversity of learning needs in the classroom.
Document Awarded Upon Graduation.
Upon completion of the Instructor Course, and having met all graduation requirements and financial

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.

9. 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.

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

referred to the school grievance committee. The school will document the meeting between the school
representative and complainant in writing. The complainant will be provided a copy of the written
record at the time of the meeting.
