LeGrand Institute's cosmetology program curriculum is exceptional in that it prepares students not only to pass the state examination in order to become a licensed cosmetologist but also to give students the skills necessary to be successful in this profession. At LeGrand, we combine advanced REDKEN training with business systems to produce confident salon professionals who are ready for success. These business systems are integrated throughout the program through mentoring and coaching each individual student.

LeGrand Institute gives students the opportunity to experience the professional side of the beauty industry by attending hair shows, entering competitions, and learning from guest speakers who are specialists in their profession. The cosmetology industry opens many opportunities for students to not only learn the fundamentals but also excel in specialties like hair coloring, wig making, and make-up artistry.
