San Diego City College’s Cosmetology Program prepares students professionally in several aspects of the beauty industry. We provide students with every opportunity to succeed in the training program and to increase the student’s opportunity for successfully passing the California's State Board of Cosmetology licensing exam. Our students receive the technical foundation in an environment that nurtures the true artist within to build their business skills and help them with networking and job placement in the industry.
The integration of theoretical principles and practical laboratory courses provides students with an authentic experience to gain and demonstrate skills that exceed job-market standards and preparation for the California State Board of Barbering and Cosmetology licensure exam. Throughout the program, students benefit from critical, but nurturing feedback from trained State-licensed and community-college-credentialed instructors. Supervised practice begins on mannequin heads and hands and culminates with working on real-live models and clients in San Diego City College’s salon and spa. Students train with professional equipment and products and learn how to conduct effective client consultations to create extraordinary guest-service experiences. Upon successful completion of the Cosmetology Program, students are armed with a robust portfolio and professional resume that allows them to enter the job market with confidence.
The program requires students to complete a minimum of 1,000 hours of instructions and the 24 units.

MiraCosta endorses as a modification only. Clearly issues with the very weak LMI data and the economic trends that are likely to continue for some time. Would not recommend new cosmetology programs for the region.

SD City college submitted the appropriate LMI from the COE. The COE does not recommend developing a *new* program for this occupation because 1) entry-level wages are below the living wage; 2) there is an estimated oversupply in the region; and 3) there is a high number of institutions that train for this occupation. However, because this is a program modification, the COE defers to the region.
