You might not actually get your feet wet but with a Cosmetology education you’ll definitely get your hands wet with real-world experience in a Student Salon or Clinic setting.

Your hands-on experience in the salon begins after you've completed your initial classroom instruction. Your salon training prepares you for your professional career and gives you the opportunity to fine-tune every aspect of your classroom instruction. And, while you're in the salon or clinic, you’ll be able to show off your creativity, apply your skills, and gain additional focus on interpersonal and communication skills - the skills that will help set you apart with your clients.

These secondary classrooms mimic actual salons because they are salons where you'll further your training by scheduling real clients, performing beauty services, marketing products, and managing your environment. After all, that's what you would do in the real world.
