About the Program:

Cosmetology students spend much of their time working with mannequins and customers under the direct supervision of trained and experienced instructors. Facilities provide students with modern, state-of-the-art equipment with some specialized classes and presentations provided by industry specialists. Students have the opportunity to compete in Bridgerland Applied Technology College competitions as well as area student competitions for industry recognition. To succeed in cosmetology, students must know the "why" as well as the "how" of the many services and tasks of the industry.
