Our Cosmetology Pathway is available to any student who wishes to learn about cosmetology and the beauty industry.

Our theory curriculum covers the topics of safety and sanitation, laws/rules and regulations of Georgia State Board of Cosmetology, basic first aid, chemistry, anatomy, diseases and disorders of hair/skin/nails, professional (soft) skills, and SkillsUSA, our Career Tech Student Organization (CTSO). Our hands-on curriculum covers a variety of services including facials, make up, manicures, hair styling, permanent waving, hair relaxers, hair cutting, and hair coloring.
