Cosmetology
Program Description:
This course offers students the opportunity to learn about the art of hair design while earning hours toward the 1,400 hours required by Washington State for a hair design license. The course consists of both lecture and lab periods in all phases of theory and science of cosmetology. Juniors who successfully complete the first year will be eligible to return to second year. Students who successfully complete year 2, option 2, plus summer school classes, will have the opportunity to meet the 1400 hours required for eligibility to take the WA state exam to become a Washington state hair designer.
Beginning in September 2016, second year Cosmetology students will choose from one of two paths towards hourly completion. The two options that students will choose from are listed below.
Option 1) Regular session 2 timeframe – Same hours as all other session 2 students, 11:15 a.m. to 1:45 p.m., Monday through Friday. Students who choose this path will be short the number of hours to complete licensure, but they may take their transcript to another school to finish. This schedule will allow students more flexibility to participate in athletics or other after school activities. School bus transportation will be available every day by the schools that provide transportation. Summer school will be available to these students to acquire additional hours.
Option 2) Extended day - 11:15 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday and 11:15 a.m. to 1:45 p.m. on Friday. Students choosing the extended day path and who attend summer school will have the opportunity to meet the 1400 hour requirement to be eligible to take the WA state hair design license exam. Students will need to have their own transportation after school on Monday through Thursday.
