Cosmetology/Barbering Course Outline

Your time at Paul Mitchell The School Provo for the cosmetology/barbering program will be divided into seven designations:

  1. Core Curriculum: A 210 hour orientation, known as the Core program, instills the basic fundamentals. Students are graded and evaluated using written, oral, and practical testing methods. Students must successfully complete the Core curriculum prior to attending regularly scheduled daily classes in cutting, coloring, permanent waving, and chemical texture services.
  2. Protégé Learning Experience: Your experience as a Protégé produces a smooth transition from Core student to Adaptive student. You spend 70 hours as a Protégé preparing you for the clinic classroom experience.
  3. Master Makeup Curriculum: During this 100 hour phase, students will master the knowledge and skills in makeup artistry and gain a strong foundation of: cosmetic chemistry, sanitation, makeovers,  natural application, evening application, camouflage, corrective, character, high-definition photography, editorial, glamour, and bridal work. Students will learn sales techniques, advanced product usage, and customer relations in preparation for work as makeup artists in salons and spas, on set, in the studio or paramedical spas, or for freelance makeup career opportunities. Students must have a passing grade of 80% in all areas.
  4. Clinic Classroom Learning Experience: Your clinic classroom time from 380 to 1700 hours will be guided with individual attention and group learning experiences using mini-classes, clinic practical worksheets, and periodic evaluations developed specifically for this monitoring progress. This is when you begin experiencing your clinic classroom education on paying clients in the clinic classroom area.
  5. Classroom Learning Experience: Your classroom time from 380 to 1700 hours is divided into six (6) areas: cutting, coloring, texture, makeup, skin, and nails. Each area has an instructor who conducts the different specialty classes each week. Classroom Learning Experiences may also include retail, motivation, self improvement, professional development, and attendance education which may be conducted by an instructor, non-licensed staff member or guest artist.
  6. Adaptive Curriculum: From 380 to 850 hours you will enter a new phase of specialty classroom workshops coupled with challenging practical services designed to continue building you into a confident beauty industry professional.
  7. Creative Curriculum: You will spend your last 850 hours at Paul Mitchell The School Provo in “high gear” by dressing, acting, and working like a salon industry professional. You will use your own artistic and creative abilities, coupled with the assistance of the Learning Leaders, to prepare yourself for your future beauty industry career.
