The Cosmetology Program at San Jose City College offers a comprehensive curriculum designed to equip students with the essential skills needed to excel in the beauty industry. This diploma program covers various aspects of cosmetology, including hair cutting, coloring, styling, skin and nail care, as well as makeup application. Students will engage in both theoretical lessons and practical hands-on training, ensuring a well-rounded education that prepares them for real-world application.

The program is structured to provide extensive fieldwork and exposure to modern practices and technologies in cosmetology. Students will participate in lab sessions that simulate a salon environment, allowing them to practice and refine their techniques under the guidance of experienced instructors. Emphasizing both creativity and technical skill, the curriculum also includes modules on customer service, salon management, and health and safety regulations.
