013 COSMETOLOGY

Approved vocational education programs in Cosmetology prepare students to care
for and beautify hair, complexion, and hands by giving shampoos; styling, setting,
cutting, dyeing, and permanently waving hair; and giving facials and manicures.
Instruction emphasizes hygiene, sanitation, and customer relations and qualifies
students for licensing examinations.

Courses in other secondary vocational education programs may be required for
completion of this program.

High school students should consult their guidance office for more information
about the specific requirements of this program at their school or area vocational
education center.
