1 semester. May be taken 2 times with a grade of “C” or better to advance. Grade level 11-12.
Cosmetology is a job-oriented course of instruction with all hours accumulated toward the 2,000 hours required for Alaska state licensing for students who choose to have their hours and operations documented. The hours and operations earned are transferable if they should transfer to another school within Alaska.
In the second through fourth semesters, students focus for the State Board Exams by increasing their speeds and accuracy on the practical subjects learned in the first semester. They begin to learn about chemicals used in the salon and will be learning hair coloring, hair lightening, permanent waving, hair straightening (relaxing), hair cutting, fingerwaving and salon management.
If student desires hours and operations to be recorded for Alaska State Certification, a fee is required.
