Remington College-Houston Campus Offers New Cosmetology Program

Diploma program trains students for jobs in growing cosmetology field

Houston, TX – (June 2009) – Remington College-Houston Campus is now enrolling students for its new Cosmetology Diploma Program.

The Cosmetology program teaches students the art of hair, skin and nail care through traditional classroom instruction and hands-on training in the “The Salon at Remington”, which allows students to work with real clients.

In addition to books, equipment and supplies, included in the cost of tuition, each student in the Cosmetology Program will also receive a styling kit (retail value of approximately $2000) to use during their enrollment. The kit includes shears, combs, rollers, a flat iron and other styling essentials, which the students can keep after graduation. 

“The cosmetology program will be a great addition to our campus,” said Dr. Hiram Nall Campus President for Remington College-Houston Campus. “The opportunity for students to get hands-on experience working with real clients is a tremendous plus.”

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the job outlook for personal appearance workers is expected to grow by 14% from 2006 to 2016, with some specialties seeing even more growth. Employment of manicurists and pedicurists is expected to grow 28% and the need for skin care specialists is expected to grow 34% during this same time frame.

In addition to Cosmetology, Remington College – Houston Campus offers several other diploma and degree programs, including: Business Office Management, Criminal Justice, Electronic Technology, Medical Assisting, Medical Insurance and Coding and Pharmacy Technician. The campus is located at 3110 Hayes Road, Suite 380, in Houston.
