3 A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR W elcome to the world of cosmetology. You are making one of the most important decisions in your life and one that will greatly affect your future prosperity and personal happiness. We are proud of our tradition at Leon s Beauty School.

He saw the artist in so many people and understood that even with the simplest of tools the scissors, the comb, the brush, the chemistry of color and waving we can practice an ageless art form and bring happiness to many people. Mr. & Mrs. Leon designed a program and an educational environment that is both stimulating and challenging. We believe that the enormous success of our graduates is an excellent testimony to their legacy. This brochure is designed to provide you with fundamental information about our operations and school policy. The entire staff looks forward to helping you with your new career. Sincerely, Parker H.

6 Volume 23, Issue 24 January Catalogue HISTORY Leon s Beauty School was founded in 1963 by the late Leon Oldham. The school was originally opened on Tate Street in Greensboro under the name of Maison de Paris College. In 1974, it moved to expanded quarters on Walker Avenue, adjacent to the campuses of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and Greensboro College. In 1977, it was renamed Leon s Beauty School in honor of its founder. In 1981 Leon s Beauty School moved to West Lee Street and in 2007 into its current location on Coliseum Boulevard. Mrs. Leon Oldham served as President and Director of the school until her death in August Leon s Beauty School is presently operated by Mrs. Leon s daughter, Parker Washburn. It is a private co-educational institution which provides course work in cosmetology designed to prepare the graduate for opportunities such as: hairdresser, beauty salon manager, technician, make-up artist or manicurist. In addition to the basic cosmetology course, the school also offers a course in esthetics and a training course for cosmetology and esthetic teachers. One of the advantages of Leon's Beauty School's longevity in the Triad area is a significant client base. Having a busy clinic allows us to keep tuition costs low while giving students ample opportunities to practice their skills. MISSION STATEMENT Leon s Beauty School s mission is to provide post-secondary education to our students in marketable cosmetic arts and sciences skills to enable graduates to pass the state license exam in order to be eligible for entry level employment. OBJECTIVE Our objective is to prepare the student for a career in the beauty industry and related fields so they can become well qualified and responsible employees.

Maximum Time Allowed Course Schedule Weeks Scheduled Hours Cosmetology (1500 Hours) Full Time 40 Hours/Week Part Time 32 Hours/Week Esthetics (600 Hours) Full Time 40 Hours/Week Part Time 34 Hours/Week Manicuring (300 Hours) Full Time 40 Hours/Week Part Time 32 Hours/Week Cosmetology Teacher Training (800 Hours) Full Time 40 Hours/Week Part Time 32 Hours/Week Part Time 24 Hours/Week Esthetics Teacher Training (650 Hours) Full Time 40 Hours/Week Part Time 32 Hours/Week Part Time 24 Hours/Week Manicuring Teacher Training (320 Hours) Full Time 40 Hours/Week Part Time 32 Hours/Week Part Time 24 Hours/Week The maximum time allowed for transfer students who need less than the full course requirements will be determined based on 68% of the scheduled contract hours. A transfer student will be evaluated at one half of their contracted time or 450, 900 or 1200 hours whichever comes first. Leon s has a no excused absence policy (except for Armed Services commitments). Being present for class daily and on time will ensure maximum training benefits and establish good work habits such as punctuality and dependability. Since the complete course is covered in a few short months, absences or other lost time can prevent successful completion of the course within the allotted time frame, as well as loss of education training benefits if being paid by federal aid or other agencies. A student may not change contracted scheduled hours until the end of a grading period. The primary responsibility of a student returning to school after an absence is to report to the school Director or the Director of Education. The student is responsible for any make-up work involved. If a student anticipates being absent or tardy, he/she should call the school to notify the Registrar or instructors before 8:30 a.m. If a student fails to attend school for ten consecutive days without an approved absence, the student may be terminated at the discretion of the Director. Students may not receive credit for more than 8 hours per day. Leon's will not tolerate abuse of absences or tardiness. Students who cannot get to school regularly and on time may be suspended or terminated from the program until such time that a satisfactory schedule can be realistically obtained. 26

27 Tardiness Students are expected to attend classes promptly. Habitual lateness may be cause for suspension. Students arriving late to school or after 8:30 a.m. cannot enter the classroom or clock in. They will be clocked in at 12:30 p.m. Until 12:30 p.m., they may sit quietly in the lounge or outside the building until class is over. Clients cannot be served on the clinic floor until 9:30 a.m. Leave of Absence Students can be granted one leave of absence within a 12 month period of training for a minimum of 30 days. A leave of absence is granted only for circumstances beyond the student's control and requested documentation has to be submitted by the student for the leave to be approved. Re-instatement of Students A student who has terminated or was terminated by the school may seek re- instatement into the school by: 1. Formally requesting in writing or in person to be re-instated; 2. Making an appointment with school administration (and if requested, with a parent or guardian or counselor); and 3. Indicating a desire to perform in satisfactory progress and good standing. If the school decides that the student should be re-instated, the student will have to re-enroll. Re-entering students will be charged the current tuition rate for the actual number of hours needed, as determined by the Director, plus a pro-rata portion of any unpaid balance due from the previous enrollment. Students re-entering within one year will not pay the registration fee. School Facilities All school facilities are housed in one building which incorporates class and lecture rooms, practical and clinical training areas (similar to standard salon designs), dispensary and supply rooms, offices and a student lounge. Audio/visual aids, including videos, cds, and overhead projectors are utilized in classroom instruction. 27

31 Physical Demands of the Profession Cosmetologists, manicurists and estheticians expose their bodies to potential damage every day. By having to sit, stand, or maintain unnatural body positions for a long period of time, they are prone to hand, wrist, shoulder, neck, back, foot and leg problems. Good work habits, proper posture, and ergonomics may alleviate some of these problems. Safety Requirements Students will be exposed to a variety of chemicals while in training. The school maintains Safety Data Sheets as required by OSHA in case of any adverse reaction to a product. Students use sharp implements and thermal tools during training and learn safety precautions with equipment. Hair and water left on the floor are both a danger to students and clients. Students learn sanitation as related to safety. For safety reasons, persons not receiving a service are not allowed on the clinic floor. 31
