Programs
Three programs. One licensing endpoint each.
Cosmetology is the broadest. Esthetics is the shortest path. Barbering is its own track and the program most graduates wish they’d known about earlier. All three lead to state-board eligibility. All three run a day cohort and an evening/weekend cohort.

Side by side.
Program / 1,500 hrs
Cosmetology
Hair, color, skin, nails, and salon operations. 14 months full-time, 22 months part-time. The broadest scope of practice and the most options after graduation.
Program / 600 hrs
Esthetics
Skin, facials, waxing, makeup. 6 months full-time, 11 months part-time. Faster path to licensure for students who know they want to focus on skin.
Program / 1,200 hrs
Barbering
Cutting, fading, beard work, scalp care. 11 months full-time, 17 months part-time. Separate license, separate per-cut economics.
Picking a track
If you can’t decide, talk to admissions for ten minutes.
The right program usually comes down to schedule, budget, and what kind of work you actually want to do. Esthetics is fastest. Cosmetology is the broadest license. Barbering is the program most graduates wish they’d known about earlier — separate license, separate economics, the work suits the people it suits.
