Opportunities for Employment: Hairstylist, Colorist, Permanent Wave Specialist, Product Demonstrator, Platform Artist, Manufacturer Representative, Scalp and Hair Specialist, Cosmetician, Nail Technician, etc. Teaching methods include: lectures, demonstrations, practical work, videos, role playing, games, timed drills.
Each student receives a textbook, several workbooks (theory and practical), and Pennsylvania State Laws. Instructors record the grade the students earn in each exercise, lesson drill, and subject exam. Students also take comprehensive exams at various intervals during their training. The following is our grading system:
A (100-93) Excellent; B (92-85) Very Good; C (84-77) Good; D
(76-70) Poor; F (69-0) Failure
In addition to their workbook exercises, students are also
graded on such other factors as attendance, appearance, and attitude. Instructors discuss the student’s progress
with them periodically.
