The Cosmetology program trains persons to be beauty operators, hairstylists, beauticians and cosmetologists. It is a one-academic-year, intensive program designed to meet cosmetologist-licensing requirements for the Arizona State Board of Cosmetology. The program normally begins on approximately August 1 and ends in mid-June the following year. Classes meet approximately 8 hours a day, five days a week for 10½ months so that the 1600 hours training necessary to qualify for the state exam can be obtained in one year.

Special Note:  A high school program is also offered to qualified students through a joint technological school district. The high school program will meet 3 hours a day, 5 days a week, and 8 hours a day on a minimum of one Saturday a month, during the regular school year. The high school program will take two years to complete.
