Cosmetology This Trimester Will Include Outcomes from the Following Units of Study

Welcome to Cosmetology elective for the first trimester! This elective will provide you with opportunities to explore personal grooming such as hairstyles, facials and manicures. In this elective you will get the chance to experiment with different hairstyles, learn salon practices, do other student’s hair, and perform facials and complete manicures.

Cosmetology this trimester will include outcomes from the following units of study:

-Safety: Working in a salon and with clients has individuals being exposed to a variety of different tools and instruments. It is essential that students practice safe and clean hygienic practices.

-Tools: We will examine the different tools that can be found in a salon and when to use them.

-Hair styling and braiding: You will learn how to style hair in a variety of different ways and using a variety of different tools. You will also learn a few different braiding techniques and will have opportunities to practice these.

-Facials: We will analyze face shapes, complexions and skin types. You will have the opportunity to make a facial mask based on the skin type of your client.

-Manicures: You will learn the basics of a manicure and will practice giving manicures to clients.

-Tattoos: We will work on applying rhinestone applique to the hands and arms and if there is time we will also work on henna tattoos.

-Sewing: If time permits students, those students who are interested in sewing may also learn how to complete very basic sewing projects, such as sewing on a button. Other students would have the opportunity to complete an enrichment project related to Cosmetology at the time.
