About the program

CTC's 1,550-hour Barber/Cosmetology program prepares students in hairstyling, haircutting, hair coloring, texture services, shaving, basic nail care, skin care, and salon business. Completing the course and graduation requirements leads to a diploma and eligibility to apply for the Iowa state licensing exam.

What you get

  • School diploma: complete 1,550 hours, pass final theory and practical exams, complete the exit survey, and settle tuition and fees or make satisfactory payment arrangements.
  • Professional license: the school submits a copy of the diploma to the Board. Applying and paying for the state licensing exam are separate steps; the diploma is not itself a license.
