Cosmetology (CRT.COS)

The Lake Land College Cosmetology Program offers a dynamic and creative path toward a professional license in the beauty industry. Designed to inspire confidence, creativity, and career readiness, this hands-on program prepares students for success in today's fast-paced salon and spa environment.

Students learn the art and science of hair design, skincare, nail care, makeup application, and salon management through a combination of classroom instruction, interactive demonstrations, and a supervised salon clinic setting. Guided by experienced instructors and aligned with the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR) standards, the program emphasizes professionalism, creativity, and technical excellence.

From mastering foundational techniques to exploring advanced color, cutting, and texture services, you'll gain the skills needed to serve diverse clients with confidence. Courses also include business and customer-service training. Graduates are prepared to take the Illinois State Board examination for licensure as cosmetologists and to enter employment in salons, spas, and related professional settings.

Program requirements may change over time. Specific degree/graduation requirements are determined by a degree audit.
