About the program

The 1,500-hour cosmetology program in Overland Park combines classroom learning, supervised salon practice and distance education. Training covers hair services, skin and nail care, client service and salon business skills.

  • Core: build foundational techniques during the first 250 hours.
  • Protégé: spend 70 hours preparing for clinic work.
  • Adaptive and Creative: develop your practical skills and prepare for professional work.

What you get

Complete 1,500 clock hours, all required practical assignments and the written and practical exams. The academic requirements include 80% or higher in theory and practical assessments.

A Certificate of Completion is issued after academic requirements are met and financial obligations are paid or covered by a compliant payment arrangement. The certificate itself is not required for graduation or an official transcript. Training prepares you for professional work; the school provides job-placement assistance but does not guarantee employment.
