of
Cosmetology
 The main goal of the Cosmetology program is to prepare students to pass the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation examination. Cosmetology is the art and science of beautifying hair, skin, and nails.
Without a license, you cannot work in a salon. The program prepares students to pass both the Texas written and practical examinations. Students receive this preparation through classes and also by actual salon experience through the program's salon facilities and its clientele.
Fulfil your license renewal requirements.
