Hairstyling 1 Program
In the year long Hairstyling 1 Program we explore foundational skills in ladies hair cutting, men’s hair cutting, thermal styling, chemical texture, hair color, long hair design, artistic expression, and life skills. There is a focus on industry driven extended learning, career pathways, workshops and field trips.
The two year (half day) program includes photo shoots, industry driven field trips, runway shows, makeup workshops, salon tours, production styling, resume design, interviewing skill development, and industry competitions. Students also complete internships which allow them to “shadow” in an actual salon environment while taking their first step into the professional industry of cosmetology.
Hairstyling 2 Program
In the year long Hairstyling 2 Program we apply customer service skills to our working salon while continuing to advance the study of contemporary industry techniques and trends. Our salon is currently being re-branded as: MOD the Salon at Boulder TEC. Hairstyling 2 students run the salon Thursday and Friday mornings from 9:00 A.M. to 11:00 A.M. Here they do everything from scheduling appointments (Salon line :720-561-5210) to performing salon services such as cuts, colors, perming and specialized treatment.
During the second year, additional focus will be on salon design, portfolio development, and business management. Students will also prepare for their state license certification test. Certification: 1200 Hours for State License
