Cosmetology
The cosmetology program prepares students for success in the field at a fraction of the cost of private institutions. An energetic and ever-changing industry, cosmetology offers many career opportunities that enable creative students to set and achieve their goals.
Barbering
On the cutting-edge of style, the barbering industry offers many opportunities for individuals to take control of their career and set their own goals. Delve into the wonderful world of barbering and take your career options to new heights. The barbering program trains students in hands-on barbering skills and examines business and industry trends. Industry-trained COM instructors will guide students in the classroom and lab.
Massage Therapy
If helping others and working in a relaxing, tranquil environment is calling your name, massage therapy is the perfect fit for you. Massage therapists manipulate the soft tissue of one’s body by hand or through a mechanical or electrical apparatus for therapeutic purposes. The program is noncredit and nontransferable and helps to prepare students to enter the health care service industry in one year through our hands-on labs and classes. Upon completing the program and clock hours, you will take the Texas State Board Exam for licensure.
Esthetics
Train to enter a rapidly growing field with job opportunities in salons, day spas, medical spas or cruise ships. To help others maintain healthy, glowing skin, estheticians provide facial treatments, peels, masks and scrubs. They may also provide facial hair removal treatments, such as waxing, or apply makeup for special occasions.
