Licensed cosmetologists have a wide range of opportunities, from hair specialists and estheticians to educators. The field of cosmetology encompasses four key areas – hair, skin, nails, and makeup –each providing diverse career paths beyond spa or salon work. Specialty roles within each area offer unique opportunities for those in the cosmetology industry.
The cosmetology career path offers a range of options depending on the field of employment, such as nail technician, makeup artist, skincare specialist, hairstylist, selling cosmetics, wigs, or related products directly to consumers, working as a distributor selling merchandise to salons, or being employed by a distributor to educate salon staff just to name some of the opportunities.
The compensation plan differs for each type of license and level of experience. Usually however, the compensation plan for the cosmetologist will be guaranteed salary for a certain period of time or a commission, whichever is greater. To increase the compensation, the individual may have to complete more services, work more hours or increase responsibilities.
Usually there are partial or comprehensive benefit packages, such as vacation pay, sick benefits or insurance benefits. For salary ranges and job growth statistics go to the U.S. Department of Labor’s website at www.onetonline.org.
Often the stylists who become most successful are those who continue learning and building upon the basic techniques they have learned while in school. They do this by attending beauty education shows and/or classes to learn more advanced techniques and trends in fashion.
The individual must be in reasonably good physical health. Employment opportunities require standing, bending, and lifting. The individual should also be in stable mental health with the ability to cope with stress, pressure, praise, and criticism. The individual must put the desires of the client ahead of his or her personal desires. It is a must to have a pleasing personality and healthy attitude. All the employment opportunities within the cosmetology industry involve working with many different kinds of people, each with their own unique needs and problems.
Cosmetologists are employed in some of the most beautiful and pleasant environments. The decor of most salons consists of mirrors, music, and pleasing colors. The most dangerous aspects of the career are working with chemicals which, if used incorrectly, may harm the cosmetologist and/ or the client.
Instruction of proper procedures is provided in school and on the product packaging to prevent any occurrence of harm. Some individuals experience allergic reactions or irritations from product chemicals used in the industry. Precautions can be taken in many instances to prevent or lessen the severity of these reactions/irritations.
If in the event, this course does not enroll 6 students, it will be cancelled within 30 days of the start. All enrolled students will receive notice of the cancellation and will be given the option of a different start date or receive a refund of the application fee paid.

If a student is going to be late or absent, it is the students’responsibility to call the school prior to the start of the school day. Students who are continually tardy or truant could be faced with termination.
A written doctor’s excuse is required for absences due to illness. Students should not leave the school except at meal breaks. If a student is absent the day of an exam, they must make it up within one week upon return. After this, a grade of zero will be automatically given. Special and emergency time off must be approved by the School Director. No food or beverages are allowed in the classroom or on the clinic floor. Talking and sleeping during class will not be tolerated. This behavior may result in the student’s removal from the class.
Josef’s School of Hair, Skin & Body encourage students to maintain high standards for attendance and academics to complete the program and achieve a career in the industry. Students are encouraged to strive for 100% in attendance and academic performance. However, Josef's School of Hair, Skin & Body recognizes students need a school-life balance by setting minimum levels of attendance and academic performance in compliance with the Department of Education (DOE) and the National Accrediting Commission of Career Arts & Sciences (NACCAS). The policy is set forth in this school catalog to ensure all students receive a copy prior to enrollment. This Satisfactory Academic Policy is consistently applied amongst all students throughout their program, whether they receive financial aid or not.
Attendance Progress Evaluation: All students must maintain at least a 75% cumulative attendance average of scheduled hours in order to be considered making Satisfactory Academic Progress. The attendance percentage is determined by dividing a student’s total actual clocked hours by the total number of scheduled hours.
Academic Progress Evaluation: All students must maintain at least a 75% cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) in theory and practical/clinic work. Grades will be determined by averaging all the weekly theory grades, all the practical/clinic grades for the period; these two averages will then be averaged together to determine your cumulative GPA. Theory and practical/clinic work will be graded according to the following scale:
91% - 100% Excellent
81% - 90% Very Good
Josef’s School of Hair, Skin & Body, being based on clock hours, does not have individual classes (students are not able to withdraw from individual classes); does not award grades of “incomplete”; the above grading scale is used for all assignments. Therefore, a student taking a failing/unsatisfactory grade on an individual assignment (practical floor sheet, project, test, etc.) will only affect the student’s GPA not the student’s attendance average. All programs offered at Josef's School of Hair, Skin & Body are conducted year-round without breaks between Academic Years (Cosmetology Program only). Therefore, Josef's School of Hair, Skin & Body does not have a specific summer program.
For the purposes of meeting federal and accreditation standards, students must have performance evaluations at the following checkpoints based upon actual hours attended:
Cosmetology
1500 hours: 43 weeks (Full-time, 35 hours per week)

Cosmetology Instructor (Full-time, 40 hours per week) 960 Hours 32 1277
For transfer & re-enrollment students, the same maximum time frame allowed (133%) will be determined based on 75% of their scheduled hours.
For the purposes of meeting federal and accreditation standards, each student’s attendance and academic performance is evaluated at the required checkpoints related to their program as outlined in the Evaluations Periods policy. Students meeting the minimum requirements for academics and attendance at the evaluation point are considered to be making satisfactory academic progress until the next scheduled evaluation. Upon completion of the evaluation, students will be given a written copy of their evaluation, and the original will be stored in the student’s file. At that time, the students will acknowledge receipt of a copy of the Satisfactory Academic Progress Report which indicates their performance evaluation results. The students will be notified of all evaluation results.
The Satisfactory Academic Progress evaluations apply to all students, whether they receive financial aid or not. For students who do receive financial aid however, failure to meet the minimum standards of the Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy may delay or terminate eligibility Title IV, HEA programs Program
funds (if applicable) unless the student is on Warning or has prevailed upon appeal of the determination that has resulted in the status of Probation.
Warning Period: Upon failing to meet the minimum of 75% in attendance and/or academic performance, a student will be placed on “Warning” until the next SAP evaluation checkpoint. A student on Warning is eligible to receive Title IV funds. The student will receive an academic plan providing corrective actions to achieve the minimum of 75% in attendance and/or academic performance by the end of the Warning period.
Probationary Period: If a student has failed to meet 75% in attendance and/or academic performance by the end of the Warning period the student’s enrollment is immediately suspended. If it is determined that the student is capable of meeting the satisfactory academic progress standards by the next evaluation period, the student may submit an appeal in an effort to remain enrolled as a student at Josef's School of Hair, Skin & Body. The written appeal must be received within five (5) school days of receiving the report and clearly describes the circumstances that affected the student’s academic and/or attendance performance since the last evaluation period. (See the Appeal Procedures of SAP Determination of Progress Policy below).
If the student prevails upon appeal, the student may remain in school on Probation and be eligible to receive Title IV funds. The results of the appeal will be printed and stored in the student’s file. Additionally, the student will receive an academic plan providing corrective actions to achieve the minimum of 75% in attendance and/or academic performance by their next SAP evaluation period, or the maximum time frame established for the individual student within the academic plan. If at the end of Probation, the student has still not met both the attendance and academic requirements by not following through with the academic plan, the student will be determined not making Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP). This status requires the student’s financial aid to be terminated and the student may be administratively withdrawn from Josef's School of Hair, Skin & Body. Re-entry on a cash pay basis will be at the discretion of the School Director. Please refer to the Re-Entry Policy described below.
If no appeal was received or the appeal did not prevail, the student will not be eligible to receive Title IV funds, HEA program funds (if applicable) and the student will be administratively withdrawn.
Students may only file one appeal under the Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy.
If at any SAP evaluation checkpoint, it is determined that the student will be unable to complete the program within the maximum time frame of 133%, the student may be administratively withdrawn from Josef's School of Hair, Skin & Body and their eligibility for Title IV funds will be terminated. Reentry on a cash basis will be at the discretion of the School Director, refer to the Re-entry Policy for additional information.
Josef’s School of Hair, Skin & Body retains the discretion to administratively withdraw an enrolled student.
A student may appeal by stating, in writing, their explanation and/or concern regarding their attendance/academic performance and submitting it to the School Director within five (5) days of the report. Reasons for an appeal may include a death in the family, a minor injury or illness of the student, or any other allowable special or mitigating circumstance. The student must submit with the appeal any documentation related to the circumstance, for example; a doctor’s note, hospital record, obituary, police report etc. The appeal should also include what has changed about the student’s situation that will allow them to achieve Satisfactory Academic Progress by the next evaluation point. The School Director will review the appeal and meet with the student. The School Director will rule on the appeal after the meeting and notify the student and instructional staff in writing regarding this ruling within five (5) days. All appeal information (written appeal, meeting notes, appeal ruling, etc.) will be documented and kept in the student’s academic file. All appeal determinations are final. During the appeal procedure, students are not allowed to clock in while writing the appeal or during the determination of the appeal, not to exceed 14 calendar days.
Students not maintaining Satisfactory Academic Progress may re-establish Satisfactory Academic Progress and/or financial aid eligibility during their next evaluation period by achieving the minimum
cumulative attendance and/or academic standards required for Satisfactory Academic Progress. Academic plans are provided to students which outline the steps necessary to achieve Satisfactory Academic Progress by their next evaluation period.
Upon returning to school after being absent, it is the student’s responsibility to contact the instructional staff to determine what assignments, subject areas, notes and/or tests were given during the student’s period of absence. All efforts will be made by the instructional staff to help the student attain the current status and progress level expected.
Attendance: It is each individual student’s responsibility to make up hours as needed in order to stay on track with their scheduled program. Josef's School of Hair, Skin & Body allows students to make up hours by attending outside their scheduled program. Once a student has completed Basic Training (Cosmetology, 300 hours; Skin Esthetics, 120 hours; Massage Therapy, 375 hours; Nail Technology, 70 hours), they will have the ability to come in an hour early to clock a maximum of eight hours per day. Exceptions may be made at the discretion of Josef's School of Hair, Skin & Body while a student is in the Basic Training portion of their program. In addition, Cosmetology, Massage Therapy, Skin Esthetics and Nail Technology students may attend Saturdays (when available per campus) once they have been on the clinic floor for a minimum of two weeks and have clocked at least 370 hours, 190 hours and 150 hours respectively. Massage Therapy students are allowed to attend Saturdays at the discretion of Josef's School of Hair, Skin & Body. If a student feels they need to retake any portion of the program, such as Basic Training, the repeated hours will not be counted toward the completion of their current evaluation period, therefore future financial aid disbursements will be delayed. Students may not exceed 100% cumulative attendance within their program before entering their final evaluation period (see Evaluation Periods below).
Academics: Josef's School of Hair, Skin & Body does not allow students to retake (change a grade) any assignment or test for the purpose of improving their qualitative SAP review.
Withdrawal/Drop: Due to differences in hour requirements and start dates of the programs Josef's School of Hair, Skin & Body offers, students are not allowed to transfer out of one program and into another. The only way a student may “change” programs is to withdraw from their current program and apply for admission to the desired program (acceptance based on start date & space availability). For additional information, see Josef's School of Hair, Skin & Body Withdrawal and Return to Title IV Policies.
Graduate: If a prior graduate of Josef's School of Hair, Skin & Body is wanting to pursue a second program offered at Josef's School of Hair, Skin & Body, they may do so once they have successfully completed their current program (i.e., programs may not be taken concurrently). Due to differences in hours and graduation requirements set forth by the ND State Board of Cosmetology for individual programs, the student would enroll and begin the program just as any other student.
In either event, a student’s Satisfactory Academic Progress from their original program does not affect the student’s Satisfactory Academic Progress status in the new program
Title IV financial aid will be reinstated to students who have:
1. Prevailed upon an appeal,
2. Re-established Satisfactory Academic Progress status, or
3. Returned to school after an interruption of training that commenced at the time the student was not making Satisfactory Academic Progress and has now re-established Satisfactory Academic Progress requirements.
The Satisfactory Academic Progress report will reflect a student’s progress status on scheduled financial aid disbursement dates to establish if and when re- established satisfactory status occurred. When Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) status has been re-established, the Financial Aid Director will proceed with the disbursement of scheduled financial aid and/or advise the student of financial aid eligibility and if applicable, the financial aid application procedures necessary to obtain financial aid.
An authorized leave of absence (LOA) is a temporary interruption in a student’s program of study. LOA refers to the specific time period during a program when a student is not in attendance. A LOA refers to the specific period during a program when a student is not in attendance. A LOA is not required if a student is not in attendance only for an institutionally scheduled break. However, a scheduled break may occur during an LOA.
A LOA must meet certain conditions to be counted as a temporary interruption in a student’s education instead of being counted as a withdrawal requiring Josef’s School of Hair, Skin & Body to perform a refund calculation.
Josef’s School of Hair, Skin & Body may grant a LOA to an enrolled student in satisfactory standing who has extenuating circumstances requiring a temporary interruption in their attendance (such as childbirth, personal illness or disabling accident, or death in the immediate family), with a reasonable expectation for the student to return from the LOA. The LOA may not be taken intermittently. A student will not be granted a LOA if the LOA, together with any additional LOA’s previously granted, exceeds the maximum totals per program listed below:
Cosmetology: 62 calendar days in any 12-month period
Skin Esthetics & Cosmetology Instructor: 31 calendar days in any 12-month period
Massage Therapy & Nail Technology: Not Eligible for a LOA
Weekends and holidays are calculated in the total length of the LOA
Procedure: The student must submit in writing request for a LOA to the School Director, stating the reasons for the request, the effective date, and the return to school date (this date can be revised, not to exceed max calendar days listed per program).
If applicable, the request must be accompanied by a letter from a certifying professional (physician, physician’s assistant or nurse practitioner) unless extenuating circumstances apply. The letter must be on official letterhead and must include the diagnosis, the limitations it imposes on the student and a reasonable estimation of the recovery time. Josef's School of Hair, Skin & Body reserves the right to verify qualification of the certifying professional.
If unforeseen circumstances prevent a student from providing a written request, the school may grant the student’s request for a LOA and collect the written request within 14 calendar days from the last day of attendance. In this instance, Josef's School of Hair, Skin & Body will document the LOA as approved and calculation for the return date is based on the amount taken during the leave. In this example, the beginning date of the approved LOA would be determined to be the first day the student was unable to attend school because of the circumstance. If the last day of attendance is a Friday, the LOA’s start date will be calculated using the next scheduled class day (i.e., Monday).
Josef's School of Hair, Skin & Body is required to take attendance, if all of the above documentation is not received within 14 calendar days from the student’s last day of attendance, Josef's School of Hair, Skin & Body will administratively withdraw the student as of their last day of attendance.
The student must also contact the Financial Aid Director unless unforeseen circumstances prevent the student from doing so. The student’s financial aid will be put on hold until they return to school and will not be considered to be withdrawn so a Title IV financial aid or an institution refund calculation is not required at this time. A LOA will not affect the 133% maximum completion time for Title IV financial aid funding. An approved LOA does not involve additional charges by Josef's School of Hair, Skin & Body
The Josef's School of Hair, Skin & Body LOA Review Committee (consisting of the School Director and other appointed Josef's School of Hair, Skin & Body officials) will notify the student with the LOA Form of its decision. A student placed on a LOA is not eligible to participate in school related events/services onsite and offsite.
The student’s contract with an amended completion date will be placed in the student’s file for signatures upon their return. Student’s contract period and maximum time frame is extended by the same number of days taken in the LOA. An addendum to the original contract indicating changes to
the contract period will be signed and dated by all parties. No additional charges will result with an approved LOA.
If the student knows when they will be back to school from an LOA but it is not the date that was put on the LOA form, they must put in writing the change to the School Director. The student may return earlier than the expected return date but no later. It is the student’s responsibility to keep track of their return date. If the student does not return by the expiration of an approved LOA, or chooses to not continue the course, the student will be required to withdraw or be terminated by following Josef’s School of Hair, Skin & Body’s Policy. Once withdrawal or termination notification is given, the Title IV refund calculation will be processed according to the last day of attendance. Failure to return may affect their loan repayment terms, including the exhaustion of some or all of the student’s grace period.
Students returning from a LOA or other official interruption of training must return to school with the same SAP they had prior to their departure.
Withdrawal
To officially withdraw, the student can initiate the withdrawal process either verbally, or in writing with the School Director. The tuition refund policy will apply to withdrawn students. The school will terminate (unofficially withdraw) a student upon ten consecutive school days of unapproved absenteeism.
Josef’s School of Hair, Skin & Body reserves the right to terminate a student for any reason, including but not limited to: Alcohol or drug abuse in the school, failure to abide by the school rules and regulations, failure to comply with Satisfactory Progress Policy, and unapproved absenteeism for ten consecutive school days.

Students can review their files at any time with a written request to the Financial Aid Director. The school also allows a parent/guardian of a dependent minor to give written permission for the release of student-file information to a third party. The school does not need written consent to release student-file information requested as party of a legal request or for accreditation purposes. In all other instances the school will not release information about individual students without written permission from the student. All records are maintained for a minimum of six years.
