What is taught in a Cosmetology course in Kenya?<\/h2>\n <\/div>\n

A Cosmetology course syllabus in Kenya covers Hairdressing, salon hygiene, skincare, nail care, makeup, basic massage, client care and salon organisation. The training connects these subjects into a complete salon-service routine: prepare the workstation, consult the client, perform the service, finish neatly, give aftercare and reset the station. NITA currently lists Hairdressing and Beauty Therapy pathways within its recognised curricula and also places Hairdresser and Beauty Therapist within its Cosmetology category.[1]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n
