Our cosmetology school at Douglas Education Center allows students to learn the basic principles of cosmetology, the chemistry of hair, and other practical applications. This well-rounded program gives students a foundational understanding of the skills required for a career in the cosmetology profession. Douglas Education Center aims to prepare students as Licensed cosmetologists to work in salons, spas, medi spas, television, film or even starting their own business. What sets us apart from other institutions is that students will have the opportunity to make lifelong connections, mentors, and friends to guide them through their future endeavors. Our teachers have real-world experience and the knowledge to assist students in finding a career path that works best for them. While the state of Pennsylvania only requires 1250 hours, Douglas Education Center requires students to complete 1350 hours in the cosmetology program. Students are prepared in everything needed to become a Licensed Cosmetologist by training in Hair Design, Nails and Skin, Color, Professional Practices and Salon Management as well as Clinic experience. The goal of our program is to assist students in passing their state board exams and preparing them for the professional workplace.
