Overview

Whether your goal is to become a full-service salon cosmetologist or you wish to pursue a career as a make-up artist, aesthetician, hair colorist or more, ASUN provides you a solid foundation in cosmetology. You may also choose to fortify your training with a business degree with salon ownership in mind. All students are actively prepared and encouraged to complete the Arkansas Department of Health Cosmetology State Licensing Exam. Students who have completed our Cosmetology Program have been accepted by employers like Sport Clips, Great Clips, J.C. Penney Salon, Regis, and more.

The Cosmetology and Esthetic programs require any potential student to submit a separate application. Students that are accepted into the program will receive an acceptance notification. The acceptance notification for the program comes from a different source than the notification for acceptance into the college. Acceptance confirmations for the program will come from the Academic Coordinator for the Applied Sciences Division.
