Cosmetology
This program is designed to prepare students for professional licensing in the
cosmetology field. Students are taught the basic techniques of hair care, chemical
relaxing, professional ethics, sanitation, manicuring, facials, salon management,
and rules and regulations as designated by the state.
The Arkansas State Health Department Cosmetology Division requires an
individual to successfully complete 1500 clock hours in order to qualify for the state
cosmetology licensing examination. In addition to admission requirements for this
program, a student must submit a copy of their social security number, driver's
license, copy of high school transcript or proof of GED, and a $20 money order
made payable to the Arkansas Board of Health/Cosmetology for a temporary
training permit.
