Make a career move that blends creativity with process – and start down a path with excellent earning potential. In our newly renovated Cosmetology program space, you’ll:

  • Learn from experienced professionals who will teach you the latest trends and time-tested techniques
  • Gain real-life experience with clients in the CVCC Salon & Spa
  • Be well-prepared for testing and licensing with the Ohio State Cosmetology and Barber Board.

 

This comprehensive program covers a range of cosmetology-related subjects, including hair styling, hair coloring, makeup application, facials and manicures.

Our program maintains a high board-certification passing rate, and students have left the program to work in prestigious salons and spas throughout the region. Some have started and grown their own businesses.

Cosmetology jobs are projected to grow 5% in the next 10 years, faster than the average for all occupations. Today’s consumers want personalized beauty services, and many people in the field will retire in the next decade, opening the door for new stylists, manicurists and barbers.
