According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment in the field of cosmetology is expected to grow much faster than the average for other occupations. That’s good news for students in the School of Cosmetology at Florida Career College (FCC).
At FCC campuses in Hialeah, Lauderdale Lakes, Boynton Beach and Jacksonville, cosmetology students learn from industry professionals in a hands-on classroom setting where they practice innovative, creative and stylish beauty techniques. At each campus The Spa at The College features a fully equipped salon beautifully appointed with hair washing, styling and drying areas, nail and pedicure stations and facial spa. Soft, warm-hued tones, mirrors and decorative artwork evoke a total feeling of relaxation for clients.
While the salons in Lauderdale Lakes and Jacksonville are already open to the public, Boynton Beach will open to the public on October 4 and Hialeah on November 1. The Spa at The College offers salon services that pamper clients at inexpensive prices. All services are performed by students who are nearing graduation, and are under the strict supervision of instructors. The Spas are operated just like professional salons. Appointments are suggested but walk-ins are welcome.
“Cosmetology is a $60 billion industry and even in challenging economic times people want to feel good about themselves,” said Theresa Jacobs, Program Director of Cosmetology at Florida Career College. "We offer the community a fantastic alternative to higher-priced salons."

"This is a win-win for the community and for our students,” Jacobs added. "The Spa at The College affords our students the opportunity to show off their skills, which have been honed during months of training, while the community enjoys fantastic, friendly, professional-type services for a fraction of the cost of high-end salons. Our focus is to prepare our students for their new careers in cosmetology and at The Spa at The College they gain valuable experience.”
Florida Career College offered its first Cosmetology Program in Lauderdale Lakes in August, 2009. Since then, hundreds of students have enrolled at the campuses in Lauderdale Lakes, Hialeah, Boynton Beach and Jacksonville.
The FCC Cosmetology Program at Lauderdale Lakes, Boynton Beach and Jacksonville offers three sessions, day, afternoon and evening, which is perfect for students who also are employed. The Hialeah Campus offers day and evening sessions and also offers classes in Spanish. The programs at Hialeah and Boynton Beach do not require enrolling students to have a high school diploma or GED.
Florida Career College identifies the skills needed for today's job market by working closely with industry experts, professional associations and employers to continually develop and update programs and courses according to industry needs. Classrooms, computer and medical labs and clinics are designed with real-world equipment and software programs to give students the advantage of "hands-on" training. FCC's goal is for students to move directly from the classroom to a career by encouraging students to build on their strengths and to study what specifically interests them in an environment designed to foster individual goals and learning styles.
Eight academic starts allow for year-round study. Small classes and programs are designed to create a positive learning environment where student individuality is recognized enabling students to meet their unique educational goals. Morning and evening sessions allow students to maintain jobs and attend classes.
