This program prepares students for employment in the cosmetology field by teaching the curriculum, skills and work behaviors as set by the Oklahoma State Board of Cosmetology and Barbering. Students practice haircutting and styling, coloring and permanent waving as well as manicuring, pedicuring and performing facials. These skills are practiced in a model salon/lab setting. To become a licensed cosmetologist, students must pass the Oklahoma State Board written and practical exams with a score of at least 75 percent on each exam.
