Welcome to the Cosmetology program at the WMCTC:

This course provides the laboratory and classroom work necessary in preparation for the State of Michigan Licensing Exam.  A student who is in the program for two years will not accumulate the necessary 1600 hours unless they attend the school on some Saturdays during the school year and during the summer.  Some students choose to complete their hours after high school graduation.  Students will learn hair shaping and cutting, permanent waving, hair coloring, styling, manicuring, skin care, facials and make-up and scalp treatment.  In addition they will be given instruction in salon management.

The Cosmetology Field:

The human services field is expecting larger than average growth in the years to come. Cosmetology is a career in the human services field which offers job opportunities all over the world.  Students interested in cosmetology should enjoy working with people, problem-solving, and should work well under pressure. Those who are friendly, outgoing, understanding and cooperative may find a career in cosmetology.  To be a Cosmetologist in the State of Michigan a person must complete 1600 hours of training and take a licensing exam.
