Cosmetology
Our 1600 hour cosmetology program will prepare you for a career as a licensed cosmetologist. Through a combination of theory and hands-on practice, you should be readyto provide high-quality nail, skin, and hair care to your clients.
Our program will give you a background in health and safety, anatomy and physiology, and salon management, as well as in-depth training in hair, skin, and nail services. You should learn how to properly cut, style, and color hair, as well as provide treatments like perms and chemical straightening. You'll be instructed on how to provide a variety of facials, waxing services, and makeup application. The program also includes training in several manicure and pedicure techniques to help you finish off a client makeover!
Of course, you'll have the chance to practice all of these new techniques in our school clinic. You'll be working in a real salon environment, providing salon and spa services to the general public.
When you've completed the cosmetology program at Oceanside College of Beauty, you should be ready to take the California Board of Barbering and Cosmetology licensing exam. We'll help you prepare through mock board exams at school, where you'll practice the written and practical portions under teacher supervision.
