The 1500-hour cosmetology program includes training in everything required for a cosmetology license, including hairstyling, skin care, nail care. Students learn advanced hairstyling methods such as permanent wave techniques, relaxers, and coloring. As part of the skin care classes, students learn facials, microdermabrasion, makeup, and waxing. In nail care, students learn manicures, pedicures, and artificial enhancements for nails, to perfect their skills under the supervision of licensed instructors. Students not only learn beauty techniques but also sanitary rules and regulations, and customer service. The cosmetology program includes practical experience as well, as students have the opportunity to practice in the student salon. Upon completion, students make application to take the Ohio State Board licensing exam.

Financial aid is available for students that qualify at Western Hills School of Beauty & Hair Design, and Tri-County Beauty College. Pell grants, student loans, and pay as you go plans are all offered. These cosmetology schools pride themselves on their quality of education to train students to be at the top of their industry.
