About the Program
The Cosmetology Apprenticeship program is the perfect path for creative and outgoing individuals. Apprentices work alongside experienced cosmetologists in the salon to learn the skills necessary to be successful in the beauty industry! Get paid to learn the trade by becoming a cosmetology apprentice and work toward an artistic and rewarding cosmetology career.
What You'll Learn
Apprentice students learn hands on skills in the salon and attend school one day a week to complete the classroom requirement for licensing. Students are trained in hair, skin and nail services and upon completion are able to provide high quality salon services. Students learn the latest techniques, hear from industry artists and attend local beauty shows.
Students are prepared to take the Wisconsin NIC Cosmetology Licensing Exam and upon graduation begin working as a cosmetologist.
Good stamina and health are important as most cosmetology careers require standing for long periods of time.
