Cosmetology is the art and science of beautifying hair, skin and nails. The main goal of the Cosmetology program is to prepare students to pass the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation examination. The program prepares students to pass both the Texas written and practical examinations. Students receive this preparation through classes and also by actual salon experience through the program’s salon facilities and its clientele. The program contains three certificates of completion. The Operator Certificate prepares students to take the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation examination for the operator license and for managing a business.
