Cosmetology involves the study of the art and science of the care of hair, skin, and nails. A cosmetologist can choose to specialize in one or more areas such as makeup artistry, lash extensions, weddings, master colorist, barbering, spa treatments, or nail enhancements. Self-motivated, creative, artistic students and students with strong interpersonal skills will be interested in our Cosmetology program, which will train them for licensing and employment in related fields. 

In this program, students learn to apply their technical and interpersonal skills. Instruction in human anatomy & physiology, and chemistry provides students with a deeper understanding of the scientific aspects of hair, skin, and nail care. This two-year program allows students interested in the field of Cosmetology to begin their training by earning state-mandated hours required for a Maine Cosmetology license over the two years.  These hours will transfer to post-secondary Cosmetology schools and enable students to begin their studies with a portion of the program completed. The curriculum utilized in this program is written at a post-secondary level, so having a strong foundation in English and science will help ensure student success.
