Cosmetologist - High School

This major prepares students to become licensed cosmetologists who provide nail, skin, scalp and hair care to customers to help them enhance their personal appearance. Students receive classroom instruction and hands-on training in hair styling, cutting, coloring and chemical restructuring. Included are manicures/pedicures, facials, lash and brow tinting and arching, and scalp treatments along with customer service and shop management. To obtain state licensing, students must complete 1500 hours of instruction and pass the Oklahoma State Board of Cosmetology written and practical exams with 500 hours waived for high school students if high school core courses are successfully completed.
