WCC’s Cosmetology course provides students with the appropriate training and required number of contact hours needed to fulfill licensure requirements with the North Carolina Board of Cosmetic Art Examiners.

Cosmetology students train in a variety of areas, including haircuts, coloring, scalp treatments, manicures/pedicures, and facials.

Natural Hair Care Specialist students receive instruction and clinical practice in natural hair care. Course content includes topics such as sanitation, anatomy, client consultation, shampooing, and natural hair care techniques. Students in this course must complete the required hours before applying to the NC Board of Cosmetic Art Examiners for examination.

All potential students must attend a virtual information session before registering for a class in the Cosmetology program. Learn more about the program and reserve a space for an information session on WCC’s website.
