Autry’s cosmetology program prepares students for cosmetology employment and licensure preparation. Training includes haircutting and styling, coloring and permanent waving, manicuring, pedicuring, and facials. Adults complete 1,250 training hours. The high-school pathway lists 1,000 training hours plus up to 250 hours for successful completion of approved high-school courses.
The program prepares students for the Oklahoma State Board written and practical cosmetology examinations. Passing both examinations with at least 75 percent is required to become a licensed cosmetologist.
Adults must attend half-day for their first two semesters. They may then continue half-day or attend both daily sessions. The school describes a four-semester route when students switch to all-day attendance after the first two semesters.
