Beauty School Courses in Lancaster, CA

Lancaster Beauty School offers six courses, and the right one depends less on interest than on which California license you want to hold at the end. Cosmetology is the broadest; the others concentrate on a single discipline.

Hour requirements differ sharply. Cosmetology and Barbering each require 1,000 hours, Esthetician and Advance Manicuring require 600, and Manicuring requires 400. Teacher Training, at 600 hours, is for professionals who already hold a license.

Start dates differ too. Most courses begin weekly, but Esthetician classes start every 12 weeks, so check that cycle before you plan an enrollment date.
