What You Can Do as a Cosmetologist

A Florida Cosmetology license can open doors for you in the beauty industry.

Beyond the salon, licensed cosmetologists can build careers in many settings, from blow-dry bars and film sets to bridal teams and cruise ships. They might also move into roles as educators or retail specialists, or decide to go into salon management. Many graduates start by renting a chair or joining a team where they can grow a loyal client base. The outcome of your cosmetology training depends on your effort, professionalism, and local market demand. With so many paths, though, it’s possible to shape a career that fits your unique strengths.

JT’s Cuts Academy Cosmetology Program FAQs

How long does it take to complete the Cosmetology Program?

The Cosmetology Program includes 1200 hours of classroom learning and hands-on training. You can complete this training in as little as 40 weeks, but progress is measured by how many hours you put in and what services you perform. Because of this, your progress can vary. An admissions advisor can give you more information about your expected timeline based on your schedule.

What's the difference between the cosmetology and barber programs?

Cosmetology covers hair, skin, and nails, including chemical services, skincare, and makeup. Barber training focuses primarily on men’s haircuts and grooming. If you like all things beauty and want to offer more services, the Cosmetology Program may be a better fit. If you want to focus on offering men’s services, barbering might be a better path for you. Our admissions team can help you decide which program is a better fit for your goals.

Is financial aid available for this program?

Yes. Financial Aid is available to those who qualify and can include Pell Grants, Direct Subsidized or Unsubsidized Loans, and VA education benefits. Start by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) online. Our financial aid team will then help you review grant eligibility, payment plans, and other funding options. They’ll walk you through each step so you can create a financial plan that fits your budget.

Do I need previous experience in the beauty industry?

No experience is needed! Our program started with foundational theory and builds on that knowledge with hands-on practice. That means beginners and self-taught artists can both build their skills. What matters more than your experience is your commitment to attendance, practice, and professionalism. If you bring the effort, our instructors will be available to guide you every step of the way.

Why Should I Choose JT's Cuts Academy for Cosmetology training?

JT’s Cuts Academy offers a community that feels more like a family than a classroom. Small classes mean instructors have more time to work with you directly, and clinic hours can give you opportunities to work on real clients under the supervision of licensed professionals. Flexible scheduling helps you balance your classes with your work and family, and our career services team can introduce you to job opportunities once you are licensed. If you want a school that will match your effort with mentorships, resources, and real-world experiences, JT’s Cuts Academy could be the right fit for you.
