Mission of the Postsecondary Cosmetology Programs
The postsecondary cosmetology programs at Tri-County Regional Vocational Technical School are designed to prepare the graduate for an entry-level position in the field of cosmetology.
Tri-County offers two different programs in the field of cosmetology for adults. The Aesthetics program trains students to analyze and cleanse skin through a variety of techniques. Aestheticians can be found in spas, salons, and in medical settings. The Adult Cosmetology program trains students to provide personal care services that include caring for people’s hair, skin, and nails.
Please review the course descriptions below to see if our programs are the right fit for you! Additional information for each program is available in the catalog/Handbooks accessible via the link on the right of this page.
