What makes Evergreen's Cosmetology program stand out from other beauty schools?

Our Cosmetology program offers unique flexibility with our EverFlex scheduling - you'll only need to attend classes 4 hours per day. We provide hands-on training in our student salon across all 7 Washington state campuses, where you'll work with real clients under expert supervision. Our three-phase program ensures you master everything from foundational skills to advanced techniques, while our NACCAS accreditation guarantees high-quality education standards. Plus, you'll get business training and portfolio development support to jumpstart your career.

What are the requirements to enroll in the Cosmetology program?

To join our Cosmetology program, you need to be at least 16 years old and have a high school diploma or GED. You'll also need to provide a valid state/federal photo ID and complete an admissions interview. We welcome students from all backgrounds who are passionate about beauty and ready to start their creative journey. Financial aid is available for those who qualify, and our admissions team can guide you through the enrollment process.

How long does it take to complete the Cosmetology program, and what's the schedule like?

The program length varies based on your chosen schedule, but with our flexible EverFlex classes requiring just 4 hours per day, you can complete the program while balancing other commitments. We offer both day and evening classes across our 7 campuses. The program includes a mix of hands-on training in our student salon, classroom instruction, and online assignments. Your specific completion time will depend on your schedule choice and campus location.

What career opportunities are available after completing the Cosmetology program?

Our graduates pursue diverse career paths in the beauty industry. You can work as a hair stylist, color specialist, or salon manager. Many graduates open their own salons or work in high-end spas. Some choose to specialize in wedding styling or editorial work, while others become platform artists or beauty educators. Our program prepares you for the Washington State Board exam, and we provide job placement assistance to help launch your career. Recent graduates have found success working in top salons across Washington state.

What specific skills and techniques will I learn in the Cosmetology program?

Our curriculum covers all aspects of cosmetology. You'll master hair cutting, coloring, and styling techniques, including the latest trends in balayage and creative color. We teach skincare basics, makeup application, and nail care services. You'll also learn essential business skills like client consultation, retail sales, and salon management. Through hands-on practice in our student salon, you'll gain real experience with various hair types and textures, preparing you for any client request.
