Cosmetology

Launch Your Career in Cosmetology!

Turn your passion for beauty into a rewarding career with Franklin Tech Adult Education's new Adult Cosmetology Program. Designed for adult learners, this comprehensive 1,000-hour training program provides the knowledge, hands-on experience, and professional skills needed to prepare for the Massachusetts Cosmetology Licensing Examination.

With experienced instructors, a nationally recognized curriculum, and a supportive learning environment, you'll gain the confidence to begin a career in salons, spas, barbershops, or even your own business.

Program Start Postponed

We have made the decision to postpone the start of our inaugural Cosmetology Program while we explore additional financial aid and funding opportunities for our students.

We recognize that the cost of a 1,000-hour cosmetology program represents a significant financial commitment for many individuals and families in our community. By taking additional time to explore alternative funding sources, our goal is to make this program more financially accessible to the students we serve.

A new start date has not yet been determined. We remain committed to bringing Adult Cosmetology to Franklin County and will share additional information as soon as we have a clearer timeline and details regarding potential financial assistance.

We sincerely appreciate the interest and patience of everyone who has expressed interest in the program.
