Physical Demands
The physical demands of the Cosmetologist require that for the most part you will be standing on your feet in the same area all day. If you are a Nail Specialist you will be required to be seated most of the day working over a table. In both occupations you will also do repetitive arm, hand and leg movements.
Safety Requirements
The major safety concerns center around the fumes and vapors emitted from the sprays and chemicals that are used every day in the salon. Your hands will also come into contact with a variety of chemicals found in styling aids, permanent waves, relaxers and hair color. The two most common chemicals are ammonia and alcohol.

Excessive Absence / Tardiness
Accumulated absent, arriving late and/or leaving early in excess of 5% of the student's contracted time ( Full Cosmetology = 50 hours and Full Nail Specialty = 12.5 hours ) made up will be charged at the rate of $14.00 per hour once the student has exceeded the stated course length; the original graduation date.

This means that if you miss more than 5% of your class schedule it will cost you an additional $14.00 per hour for every additional hour missed to complete your education.
