Our cosmetology program is designed to give you a broad foundation in beauty services. You will learn technical skills, professional services, business-related information, and client care.
Cosmetology school includes more than learning beauty techniques. You also build professional habits, communication skills, and confidence through a mix of classroom learning and hands-on practice.
1
You begin by learning theory, safety, sanitation, professional expectations, and foundational beauty concepts.
2
Watch experienced educators demonstrate techniques, tools, and professional workflows used in real salon and spa environments.
3
As you progress, you will practice techniques in hair, nails, skin care, makeup, and other cosmetology services.
4
You will participate in supervised cosmetology services while working in the clinic. This helps you practice client communication, service preparation, sanitation, timing, and technical skills in a school environment.
5
Prepare for licensure with focused training, mock exams, and review sessions designed around state board requirements.
6
You will also receive instruction in business and job-related information to help them understand professional expectations in the beauty industry.
Cosmetology Training Center uses Paul Mitchell, Aluram, and IMAGE Skincare products during classroom and clinic training. You may also be introduced to other professional product lines through outside educators and special classes.
This gives you the opportunity to learn about different products, tools, and techniques used in salon environments.
Paul Mitchell, Aluram, and IMAGE Skincare products are also available for purchase in the clinic.
We understand that many students are balancing school with work, children, and other responsibilities. Our cosmetology program is scheduled for 25 hours per week. This schedule may help you pursue cosmetology training while still making time for your personal responsibilities.
Cosmetology school is an investment in your education. Our team will walk you through current tuition, fees, required supplies, payment options, and program disclosures so you can make an informed decision.
Before enrolling, you are encouraged to review all program costs and disclosures.
After completing the required training and meeting applicable state licensing requirements, cosmetology graduates may pursue a variety of beauty industry paths.
Career opportunities can vary based on licensure, experience, location, employer requirements, and other factors.
The Cosmetology program is 1500 clock hours, which you will complete in as little as 60 weeks. How long it takes to complete the training will depend on your attendance and progress, but we offer family-friendly hours to help you keep momentum with your training. The admissions team will share current class times and the next available start date.
Financial Aid is available to those who qualify. Start with the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®), then meet with our team to review options such as Pell Grants, Federal Direct Subsidized/Unsubsidized Loans, and payment plans. Some students also pursue outside scholarships or state resources. We’ll help you compare pathways so you can choose an approach that balances your budget and timeline.
Your kit is designed to mirror tools you’ll use in a salon and typically includes shears, clippers/trimmers, combs/brushes, sectioning tools, hot tools for finishing, mannequins, and core product supplies — plus access to our eBook. Exact contents can change. You’ll receive the current inventory list during enrollment. Using professional tools from day one helps your clinic practice feel like real shop work.
Classes are scheduled on weekdays to support family and work responsibilities, and the school is closed on weekends and major holidays. Specific day hours are set by the campus and may be updated from time to time. Attendance and effort are key to your progress, so we’ll help you set a schedule you will follow consistently. Ask the Admissions Team about class times.
After you build core techniques in the classroom, you will transition to live-client services on the clinic floor under supervision. Many students begin seeing guests early in their training, so skills move from practice to real-world quickly. The exact timing depends on your progress and readiness. All services are provided by students under the supervision of licensed professionals.
Getting started with the cosmetology program at Cosmetology Training Center is straightforward. Our admissions team will walk you through each step and answer your questions along the way.
🎓Brianne & Alana | A Friendship That Became Part of the Story
They came to CTC to learn a trade, but they’re leaving with a friendship they didn’t know they’d find.🥹💖
Some of the best things that happen in life aren`t part of the plan. Sometimes, they`re the friendships that grow in the middle of an ordinary day, the person who makes the hard days a little easier, or the one who ends up standing right beside you when something wonderful happens.
For Brianne and Alana, CTC became the place where two individual journeys turned into a shared chapter, full of learning, memories, and a friendship that grew along the way. And how special is it that they got to celebrate this milestone together?
As they turn the page to what`s next, we hope they carry more than the skills they`ve learned here. We hope they carry the confidence to keep growing, the courage to chase the opportunities ahead, and the reminder that sometimes the people you meet along the way become just as meaningful as the destination itself.
Brianne & Alana, Congratulations!
-We`re so happy you found a little something extra here at CTC!
“Two graduates, one beautiful friendship, and a whole lot of possibilities ahead.”🥂✨

💄A little makeup, a little teamwork, and a whole lot of GLOW!
Our esthetics students teamed up for a daily makeup application, putting their skills into practice while creating a look that’s wearable, beautiful, and oh-so-glowy! Because learning the art of beauty means getting hands-on, trying new techniques, and building confidence one brush stroke at a time.
The goal? Enhancing natural beauty, one face at a time💋

POV: Your Instructor Is Watching👀
-You drop your comb and instinctively reach down to grab it…
YOUR INSTRUCTOR HAS ENTERED THE CHAT🚨😂
-“ABSOLUTELY NOT. That comb belongs to the floor now!”
In cosmetology school, we don`t just teach you how to do hair…we teach you the rules of the beauty industry💆🏼♀️✨

✨Around here, a “regular” updo just won’t cut it!
Our Level 2 cosmetology students took on a themed updo challenge, and these girlies came READY to accessorize! From spooky season and Christmas cheer to Thanksgiving vibes and Strawberry Festival flair, they turned hairstyling into a whole creative production. 💇♀️✨
Because at CTC, a head of hair is never JUST hair… it’s a blank canvas, and our students aren’t afraid to think outside the box!
We need to know…which theme would YOU want to try?!

🎓A little rebel, a whole lotta heart, and now…A COSMETOLOGY GRADUATE!
Well, Zoe… look at you. 🥹🖤
Some people leave a little sparkle wherever they go. Others leave a little chaos, a whole lot of attitude, and absolutely ZERO apologies for being exactly who they are. And then there’s Zoe, who somehow manages to be all of that while having one of the biggest hearts around.
Zoe has always been unapologetically HERSELF, and honestly? We wouldn’t have it any other way. From that hard-core vibe to that signature sass, she brings a personality that you simply can’t duplicate. But underneath all that edge is a girl with so much heart, and anyone who has gotten to know her knows just how special she really is.
Getting to celebrate her graduation is bittersweet because while we’re SO excited to see her take on the beauty industry, we know there’s a little less Zoe-shaped chaos coming through our doors now. 😂🥹
Zoe, we hope you never feel the need to tone yourself down, fit into anyone else’s mold, or trade your individuality for someone else’s idea of who you should be. This industry has room for bold, different, creative souls like you, and we hope you use every bit of that personality to make your own mark on it.
Keep your edge. Keep your sass. Keep that big heart. And please, for everyone`s sake, never lose the ability to make people laugh!
Congratulations, Zoe! We love you, we’re proud of you, and we cannot WAIT to see what you do next. Go make some magic, do things your own way, and remind the world that being different is a pretty beautiful thing.
CTC will always be cheering for you, you little legend.🖤🤘🏼

✨Congratulations Rylie!
-There’s something really special about watching someone reach a moment they once had to imagine. 🥹
Today, we get to celebrate Rylie—not just because she completed her hours or reached the finish line, but because she can now look back and see just how much has changed along the way.
The early mornings, the long days, the learning curves, the little victories, the moments of doubt, the friendships, the laughter, and all the time spent behind the chair have brought her to *this* day. And now, she gets to take everything she’s learned and make it her own.
Rylie, we hope you leave CTC knowing that your time here was about more than learning a skill. You were building confidence, finding your voice, and becoming the beauty professional you’re meant to be.
We’re so proud of you, Rylie! Go make some magic! Your next chapter starts now🪄

👀CTC POV: Our client needs a Spanish speaker!
Daisy & Alexa: SAY LESS.
When CTC calls for our Spanish-speaking girlies, they don’t just answer the call…they make an ENTRANCE!😎💃🏼

🫧TWEEN FACIALS ARE ON THE MENU!
Our esthetics students recently got some hands-on practice performing our Tween Facial—and they were ALL about those skincare skills!
Using IMAGE Skincare’s BIOME+ and ORMEDIC products, our students learned how to customize a gentle, age-appropriate facial experience while putting their classroom knowledge into practice.
From product selection to every relaxing step of the facial, our future estheticians are learning that great skincare starts with understanding the skin and treating it with care.
And can we just appreciate these little skincare pros in action?! 👏🏼💕
Learning today. Skincare pros tomorrow.✨

👩🏫➡️👩🎓When the Teachers Become Students Again—Just because you’re the teacher doesn’t mean you’re ever done learning!
Our CTC instructors recently traded their teacher hats for their student hats, and headed back to State Board to complete their required practical work for their instructor licenses.
And yes… even our instructors have to prove they’ve still got the skills! 😉💪🏼
From demonstrating their techniques to putting their knowledge to work, these ladies showed up, got to work, and handled business!
We LOVE that our instructors continue to learn, grow, sharpen their skills, and lead by example for our students. Because at CTC, the learning never stops!🩷💙
