Please Read - Very Important
Your attendance is very important. Unlike some colleges where you are not required to attend all classes to complete; the State of New York requires you to be in class for all 1,000 Clock Hours of the Cosmetology Course.

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.
BEING ABSENT COSTS YOU MORE MONEY!
