Cosmetology and Cosmetician Programs

Classes are taught at a local beauty college with students getting college credit if enrolled through Saddleback College. Currently we are using Lake Forest Beauty College in Laguna Hills. The cost of the course varies with the unit value and program. Students will purchase their individual kits through the beauty college. The costs of the kits vary from $700- $800 depending on the specific course. Exact costs can be obtained at the beauty college. Uniforms are required for all students and attendance is mandatory.

At this time we are offering:

COS 400A-D - Cosmetology.  This is a 1600 hour course preparing you to take the state Board exam to become a licensed Cosmetologist.  Cost for California residents is $240 per semester plus $800 for the kit.

COS 440 - Cosmetician.  This is a 600 hour course preparing you to take the state Board exam to become a licensed Cosmetician/Esthetician.   Cost for California residents is $320 for the entire course plus $700 for the kit.

Full time students attend the day classes which are offered Tuesday through Saturday from 8:30am to 5pm and is 40 hours per week. There is no part time during the day.

Part time students take evening classes with classes from 6pm to 10pm, Monday through Thursday and all day Saturday.

Employment Opportunities:

While competition for jobs is keen, South Orange County, with its growing population, is a particularly good area for cosmetologists, manicurists, cosmeticians and others connected with the hair care and beauty industry. With some experience and additional training, cosmetologists can move into management and ownership positions, teaching, sales, the entertainment industry, and positions with the State Cosmetology Board.
