Cosmetology

Cosmetology is the study and application of beauty treatment. Branches of specialty include hairstyling, skin care, cosmetics, manicures/pedicures and electrology.

General cosmetology courses in the United States not only focus primarily on hairstyling, but also train their students as general beauticians versed in manicures, facials, etc. In a state-licensed beauty school, a certificate course in general cosmetology typically takes approximately one year to complete. Specialized, non-hairstyling courses such as manicure, facials, or makeup art are usually of shorter duration, lasting anywhere from two weeks to six months, although the most prestigious and exclusive beauty schools
may offer much longer courses.

In order to acquire this license, the individual must do three things:
a) graduate from cosmetology school;
b) pass a written exam and
c) pass a practical exam.
