Cosmetology
The Cosmetology curriculum is designed to provide competency-based knowledge, scientific/artistic principles, and hands-on fundamentals associated with the cosmetology industry. The curriculum provides a simulated salon environment which enables students to develop manipulative skills.
Course work includes instruction in all phases of professional imaging, hair design, chemical processes, skin care, nail care, multi-cultural practices, business/computer principles, product knowledge, and other selected topics.
The WCC Cosmetology programs operate under the full approval of the North Carolina State Board of Cosmetic Arts Examiners. A state board examination must be successfully passed in order to receive a license. Employment is available in beauty salons and related businesses.
