Wisconsin Beauty Schools

What Cosmetology Schools Have to Offer

Did you know the word ""cosmetology"" comes from the Greek word kosmetikos, which means ""skilled in adornment""? That's what the training programs at cosmetology and beauty schools teach you to be--a talented hair stylist, barber, cosmetologist, skin care specialist, nail technician, or makeup artist.

In nine months, you can earn an associate degree as a hair stylist, barber, or cosmetologist, learning the latest techniques in cutting and styling hair. In far less time, you can become an esthetician, which is one of the fastest growing professions in the U.S. today. Your classes will teach you how to give facials, do hair removal, body wraps, microdermabrasion, and more. Or you could train to become a manicurist or pedicurist, another rapidly growing career, and learn how to do detailed nail designs, apply acrylic nails, and follow sanitation regulations.
