Customer service is stressed as you learn to do permanent waving, chemical relaxing, styling, restructuring, cutting and coloring of hair, give smoothing and cleansing facials, or offer a relaxing manicure or pedicure for the grooming of nails.

This major prepares students to become licensed cosmetology Master Instructors who provide new, up to date cosmetology skills and knowledge to cosmetology students. This course will also allow the Practicing Master Instructor to guide cosmetology students in providing five star customer service to customers. The practicing master instructor will teach cosmetology students how to communicate with customers and to be knowledgeable about the products they use and guide them on enhancing the customers personal appearance. Practicing master instructor students will receive classroom instruction and hands-on training in classroom set up, student behavior, record keeping and the role of the master instructor. Included is quality time with cosmetology students, teaching time in the classroom and teaching time on the clinic floor where the practicing master instructor will demonstrate various skills. To obtain state licensing, students must complete 500 hours of instruction and pass the Oklahoma State Board of Cosmetology written and practical exams.
