Cosmetology is defined as the art and science of beauty care involving the care of skin, scalp, and nails. The 1500 hour cosmetology program is divided into five basic areas for state regulation. Each unit of study relates to one of the five basic areas. The five basic units include: hairdressing, hair treatment, sanitation, facials, and related electives. After completion of the program, the student will be able to demonstrate job entry skills in required subjects and take and pass a final school exam in both theoretical and practical skills to enable them to qualify to take the exam to obtain an Illinois Culture license. Cosmetology training is made available at three different locations contracted by the FOX VALLEY CAREER CENTER to deliver instruction.
