College that works for image makers.

If you want to make people look their best as you make an excellent living, the field of cosmetology may be for you.

Why train for that career at Greenville Tech? Our program does much more than teach to the test. Yes, you'll be prepared to take the exam for your state license, but we go well beyond the basics. All of our instructors have been salon owners or managers, and they recognize that managerial and people skills are also important for your long-term success.

Classroom study and demonstrations in cutting, styling, chemical treatments, coloring and practical work experience in our on-site clinic are included. Our program is designed with sanitation, hygiene, chemistry, anatomy, physiology and management classes in order to make sure that students grasp the how and the why.

Or our Esthetics certificate program may be the start of a beautiful career. Demand for skin care services is strong. Employment trends show that the number of day spas and specialty skin care businesses has continued to grow, and skin care is now a multi-billion dollar field.

Greenville Tech added an Esthetics program because of this fast growth and the resulting demand for qualified employees. The college has an unmatched ability to meet these needs with small classes, averaging just 20 students.

The program provides not only classroom training but also extensive hands-on practice that enables the graduate to feel comfortable on the job from the first day of work. Classes are designed in a consecutive semester format so that students meet the credit hour requirement for financial aid.

Estheticians cleanse and beautify the skin by providing facials, full-body treatments, and head and neck massages. They may also remove hair by waxing.

Working in salons, spas, shops or in their own businesses, estheticians must be licensed in South Carolina, a requirement for which Greenville Tech students are well prepared.

Graduates of our Nail Technology certificate program are always in demand. Nail technicians provide manicures, pedicures, and nail extensions to clients, working at salons, spas, shops, and in their own businesses. After graduating from Greenville Tech's program, students can take the state's licensing exam, a requirement for South Carolina cosmetology licensure.

Today's customers demand a safe and sanitary environment. Students are trained in all aspects of nail care, from spa treatments to gels, acrylics and wraps, all with an emphasis on natural nail health.

Greenville Tech's Nail Technology certificate gives students much more than technical skills. And because we open our doors to clients for extensive practice, students are well prepared for the first day of work.
