Denmark College’s Cosmetology Program at the Chicago Campus in Chicago, Illinois, trains students in hair cutting, styling, coloring, texture services, skin and nail care, and salon operations while preparing them for the state cosmetology examination. The program combines practical education, classroom theory, and supervised services on a salon floor, with completion requiring 1,500 hours and as little as 11 months. Admission requires a high school diploma or a recognized equivalent, such as a GED certificate. The curriculum includes scalp care, hair design, infection control, coloring and texturing, salon management, manicuring, and pedicuring. Classes begin every month, and financial aid, including federal grants and Direct Student Loans, is available to qualifying students.
