International Institute of Cosmetology's state-of-the-art cosmetology program consists of 1500 hours which include both practical and theory aspects. During the approximate year-long program, Future Stylists spend time developing their technical and professional skills, working hands on, and facilitating the student salon in four phases.
Have you ever wondered what students do each day in IIC's cosmetology program? Here is what each of our four phases of Future Stylists are working on today at IIC Plainville's campus:
Phase one students are mastering solid diagonal back hair cutting techniques on their mannequins, with the ends of the hair ultimately forming a V-shape. The learning focus for IIC's newest class is finger-sheer position, comb control, sectioning, distribution, and technique.
Phase two students are learning about the theory and application of color by designing color wheels on poster board. After they finish, they will apply this learning when formulating colors and neutralizing tones.
Phase three students began their morning by setting up their stations in the student salon with their tool kit and products to prepare for client appointments and walk-ins. Services performed in the morning included a men's haircut and a color correction on mid-back length warm blond hair.
Phase four students gathered for a brief theory class in the morning to discuss real-life scenarios involving color formulation. They spent the rest of the day applying this discussion in team exercises, focusing on scenarios which involved pre-lightening hair and formulating a color to get the desired results. A phase four student who is close to completion also spent time refining her resume and cover letter.
