Cosmetology courses teach students the professional skills needed to provide beauty and personal care services. Here's a brief overview:
These courses typically cover:
Hair styling, cutting, and coloring
Skincare and facial treatments
Nail care and manicure/pedicure services
Makeup application techniques
Health and safety practices
Salon business management basics
Students learn both theory and practical skills through hands-on training. Our programs prepare students to pass their state licensing exam, which is required to work professionally as a cosmetologist.
The length of coursework varies by schedule and program type, but full programs often take 9-15 months of full-time study to complete.
-
An esthetician course focuses specifically on skincare and facial treatments, making it more specialized than general cosmetology. Here's a brief overview:
The course typically covers:
Facial treatments and techniques
Skin analysis and care
Professional makeup application and eye lashing
Hair removal
Chemical peels and exfoliation
Anti-aging treatments
Body treatments
Sanitation and safety protocols
Product knowledge
Client consultation skills
The program is usually shorter than full cosmetology training, typically taking 4-6 months to complete. Like cosmetology, students must obtain state licensing to practice professionally. Estheticians often work in spas, salons, dermatology offices, or start their own skincare businesses.
The main difference from cosmetology is that estheticians don't learn hair cutting/styling or nail care, focusing instead on more advanced skincare techniques.

Graduates can work in nail salons, full-service salons, spas, or start their own nail business. They specialize exclusively in nail services, unlike cosmetologists who provide a broader range of beauty services.

Business practices
Texas states require licensing to practice professionally..
Lash technicians can work in salons, spas, or operate their own business. The field is relatively new compared to traditional beauty services but has grown rapidly in popularity over recent years.
Unlike cosmetologists or estheticians, lash technicians specialize exclusively in eyelash services, though some may also offer complementary services like lash lifts and tints.
