About
Our Barber, Cosmetologist (hair / skin / nail care), Esthetician (skin care), Hairstyling (hair), and Manicurist (nail care) certificate programs meet California State Board of Barbering & Cosmetology requirements for licensure and are designed to give students a foundation in the beauty industry. Our crossover certificate programs are designed to help working beauty professionals qualify for an additional license. New cohorts for certificate programs start five times per year for daytime and evening classes. Unless otherwise noted, textbooks, course supplies, and required uniform tops are included in the course fees for each level. Students are required to provide their own black pants or skirts and black closed-toed shoes that meet the salon's dress code. With the exception of Related Science Health & Safety, all of our programs are conducted IN-PERSON ONLY.
