Course Requirements

All students have been given a Course Syllabus which contains the class rules and expectations, as well as what academic materials will be covered this school year.  Parents/Guardians have been asked to read, sign and return the top page of this syllabus.  Please keep the following pages for your records.  This ensures that we are all aware of what to expect as well as what is expected. 

Students have also been given a Permission Slip, which must be signed and returned to allow students to work in the Cosmetology/Hairstyling shop. Some students may decide to have services (haircuts,haircolor,manicures, ect.), which will be a part of the learning experience, and therefore need permission by parent/guardian to participate. 

Finally, I have included a Permission Slip for students to be photographed during shop time (we have a class Instagram Page and occasionally post pictures of our work).

Please read before signing…

I agree that as a student, it is necessary for me to act as a patron and receive cosmetology related practices that are a part of our curriculum, such as hairstyling, haircoloring, and haircutting, facials and waxing procedures.

I understand that the services will be given by another student and/or a guest presenter (under the supervision of the instructor), therefore it is through practice that we are learning the trade and are not responsible for the outcome.

In addition, I acknowledge that there may exist a risk of exposure to Coronavirus as well.

As the parent/guardian, I acknowledge and give permission to my daughter/son to have her/his hair, nails and skin serviced  in Cosmetology/Hairstyling shop if they desire.
