Cosmetology Operator, 300 Hours

A crossover program for licensed barbers who want to expand into color, chemical services, and women's cutting techniques and qualify for a cosmetology license.

Built for licensed barbers

This program builds on existing barbering experience while introducing the color, chemical service, and women's cutting techniques a Class A Barber license doesn't cover. Flexible payment plans are available, and the curriculum is designed to move quickly through techniques you're ready for, without starting your beauty education over from zero.

What you'll be ready for

Upon completion of the 300 required training hours, graduates are eligible to apply for and take the state cosmetology licensing examination. As with every program here, hands-on training with real clients under instructor supervision runs throughout, not as a final capstone, but as the core of how the skills are taught.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the right program if I already have a barber license?

Yes, it's built specifically as a crossover for licensed barbers who want to add cosmetology services like color, chemical treatments, and women's cutting to what they can legally offer.
