The Cosmetology Diploma program is designed to provide
competency-based knowledge, scientific/art principles, and
hands-on fundamentals associated with the cosmetology industry.
Blue Cliff's program combines lecture in cosmetology theory
with "hands-on" practice in the salon. It also
introduces students to professional standards, aspects of personal
and career development, and the legal and ethical responsibilities
of workers who interact physically with clients and apply
cosmetics. Blue Cliff's approach provides a simulated salon
environment which enables students to develop manipulative skills
and knowledge that can lead to an entry-level career in the field
of Cosmetology. Graduates of the cosmetology program are eligible
to take examinations required for licensure as a Cosmetologist.
Employment opportunities may include beauty salons, spas, and
other related businesses as a stylist, salon manager or owner,
color specialist, skin or nail specialist, educator, platform or
makeup artist, manufacturer's representative, cosmetic
salesperson, and more. The program culminates in the awarding of a
Cosmetology Diploma.
