The Vantage Cosmetology program introduces juniors to basic knowledge of skills in the beauty industry, such as shampooing, cutting, and styling hair as well as manicures, pedicures and specialized nail services to their clients.

Seniors in this program then use their fundamental skills for a soft Salon opening, and continue to use advanced techniques throughout the year to deliver a wide-range of skin care and nail treatments, while continuously gaining experience working and managing a full-service salon. Upon completion of the program and meeting the requirements of the Ohio State Board of Cosmetology, Vantage students become eligible to take the state examination prior to graduation.

If you are interested in scheduling an appointment with the Avantagé Salon, please call 419.238.5411 ext. 2003. Appointments are required and if school is on a delay, cosmetology services are canceled for the day.
