CLINIC PRACTICUM

Students need practical practice, practice, practice before beginning a successful professional career. Yes, theoretical lectures and off-clinic practice are important, but our experience has shown that there is no substitute for actually performing a service on live models (guests), under close educator supervision.

So, to provide this real-life practice, all cosmetology and esthetic services are available to the general public at Federico Beauty Institute salon and spa. We specifically designed the facility as a professional salon/spa setting with the most current technology so you have the opportunity to polish the interview, assessment and treatment skills necessary to provide a quality guest experience, every session, every time in a real-life setting.

The combination of extensive classroom and practical training before working on the public, our students begin their professional life filled with confidence and valuable experience.

MODULAR COURSE FORMAT

Our modular approach to teaching has students on a schedule where they focus on one core subject at a time diving deeper than most other schools dare to go.
