Overview

The middle rung of our cosmetology ladder. Seven months takes you through beauty, hair and makeup at Levels I and II, which is enough to hold a full salon floor on your own. It is the natural choice if the three-month certificate feels too short but you are not ready to commit to the nine-month advanced diploma.
