Cosmetology is a growing field that offers a wide range of career opportunities. Becoming a licensed cosmetologist can be rewarding both personally and financially. At California Beauty Academy, a cosmetology school in Orange, CA, students can prepare for a career in the industry in less than one year.

​

The 1,000- and 1,600-hour cosmetology programs are designed to develop the practical skills, technical knowledge, and professional attitudes needed to succeed in the field. The programs also prepare students to take the California State Board licensing examination.

​

After successfully passing the licensing examination, graduates may work as licensed cosmetologists in approved facilities throughout California. Within the scope of their license, cosmetologists may provide services such as haircutting, hairstyling, manicuring, makeup application, and skincare.

​

The cosmetology program can be completed in approximately seven to ten months of full-time attendance. About 340 hours are devoted to technical classroom instruction, while the remaining hours focus on supervised, hands-on training in a real-world working environment.
