Hair Stylist School: List of Schools with Hair Stylist Education Programs

Published Sep 08, 2009

RSS Feed

Hair stylists cut, color and style hair, generally in salons, spas or other personal care facilities. To become a hair stylist, you'll most likely need a high school diploma or a GED equivalent and either an associate's degree or certificate from a state-licensed school with a hair stylist education program. Waukesha County Technical College, Milwaukee Area Technical College and Trinidad State Junior College are just a few hair stylist schools.

Details of Hair Stylist Education Programs

Certificate in Hairstyling/Cosmetology

In order to become a licensed hair stylist, you'll need at least a certificate in cosmetology. Classes cover subjects like hair and scalp care, nail design and make-up application. Cosmetology programs include heavy lab requirements, where students practice learned skills and techniques on mannequin heads and/or hair models. Many cosmetology schools operate adjacent salons, which might offer reduced rates for clients willing to receive services or treatments from enrolled students.

Associate of Applied Science in Hairstyling/Cosmetology

The primary difference between a certificate and associate's degree program in cosmetology is that the latter includes general education requirements in subjects like mathematics and English. Some associate's degree programs in cosmetology also include business courses, designed for aspiring salon owners. Exact core curricula vary by institution, but students typically learn the basics of hair care, design and styling, as well as additional beauty services.
