Part I.

Executive Summary of Program Status

Part II.

Program Description:

The Cosmetology department offers three Certificates and an Associate in Applied Science

degree program. The curriculum is designed to prepare the student for the State Board of

Cosmetology Examination. Upon passing the examination the individual becomes a licensed

cosmetologist.

The Cosmetology program is part of an international member school system that teaches the

technique known as Pivot Point. Pivot Point developed its own training method, and system of

learning that completely revolutionized hair and beauty education. This offers students the

highest degree of manipulative skills and theory that meet the standards and requirements of

the State Board of Cosmetology and of other careers in the world of hair and beauty. This

knowledge and ability are achieved first through lecture and demonstration followed by actual

work in a salon atmosphere. Students receive a minimum of 1800 clock hours of lecture and

clinical experience.

Program’s Optional Educational Path

ESTHETICS PROGRAM

Program Description – Esthetics:

This course of study specializes in the care and health of skin through prevention and

management. Knowledge and ability is achieved first through lecture and demonstration

followed by practice on client in a salon atmosphere. Procedures are those used in spas and

skin care salons. These courses prepare the student for the State Board of Cosmetology

Licensing Examination in Esthetics. Upon passing the State Board examination, the individual

becomes a licensed esthetician.

Cosmetology Instructor Training requirements are 600 hours in COSM 80V and SP 151 (7-16

credits). For a Certificate of Participation and a prerequisite for the Instructor licensure exam.

Program (Department) History:

The earliest record of the Cosmetology Program (Department) is dated 1939 in the form of a

copyright 1939-1940 Cosmetology textbook in the department. The inside cover is stamped

“Honolulu Vocational School” 874 Dillingham Boulevard, Honolulu 35, T.H.

In 1955, Honolulu Vocational School was renamed the Honolulu Technical School. The

Cosmetology Program (Department) was situated in a small wooden structure with only a few

rooms available for class, it was modest and practical for the times.

Nine years later in 1964; became part of the University of Hawai’i as a result of the Community

College Act of 1964. In 1966, the Board of Regents approved the name of Honolulu Community

College and authorized the school to grant Associate in Arts and Associate in Science degrees.

On April 1, 1993 the Cosmetology program became a part of an international membership

school system, known as Pivot-Point International. Pivot-Point is the trademark, name and

instructional methods of Pivot-Point International Corporation.

The Pivot-Point method of training is based on Interactive Instruction with four phases;

Readiness, Delivery, Performance and Transfer. Each of the four phases are broken down into

areas to further enhance the learners experience, while learning the knowledge and skills

necessary for the Cosmetology field.

In January 2012 Pivot-Point launched an on-line component with their textbook bundle called

Artist Access. The students would receive a key code with their book bundle in which would

allow them to be able to have practice exams and review video which are used in the classroom

on various topic.

In August 2014 Pivot-Point revised their on-line component to become more user and tech

savvy with the introduction of LAB (learn about beauty).com.

The access is given to the students with the purchase of the book bundle, the access allows the

student to have a social page where they can post some of their work and receive points for the

posting. Down load e-books the electronic version of their textbooks so they do not have to

carry them with them. Have excess to all the visual aids used in class for review. Take learning

challenges. Have a blog area for discussions? Each area can earn them points and in the

department we encourage them to do so by offering prizes to the top point earner for each

Couse level at the end of the semester.

The instructor of each course can post the learning pathways of their course. The student can

follow the pathway of their course, and review what they are weak in or view what they might

have missed when absent.

The last semester students are encouraged to use the Exam Ace, a computer generated test

bank to take practice exams for their licensing exam.

The Cosmetology is always changing to keep up with the demands of the Cosmetology field.

The history of the Esthetics option happened when the industry or field of Cosmetology started

to take on a more holistic approach in the mid-1990’sby focusing on the individuals’ personal

image in specialized areas, such as skin and body care.

In order to keep current with the demands of the industry by providing skilled technicians the

Cosmetology department tried an experimental esthetician program. The program was a

success. A permanent course was established and now is offered as part of the Cosmetology

department.

The Esthetic courses have use the Milady’s Standard text and the Pivot-Point Esthetic text for

the theoretical knowledge of the courses. While the practical application of the courses is part

of the International Dermal Institute method of training.

Some of our graduated from the Esthetics courses have opened their own businesses, and in

turn has hired other Honolulu Community College Esthetics graduates.

I am not sure when the instructor training course started in the Cosmetology department, I

started in 1989 and it was already a part of the course offering. There has always been a need

for trained Cosmetology Instructors here in the State of Hawaii as instructors move or retire,

and periodically the Cosmetology department will provide training to those licensed

Cosmetologist who wish to become a licensed Cosmetology Instructor. The restrictions from

the Hawai’i Revised Statutes Chapter 439, allows the Cosmetology Program to train only one

instructor-trainee student per license instructor. This program is offered when a request of

interest or is needed in the industry or field. The instructor-trainee must meet the pre-

requisites as stated by the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs State of Hawaii;

Chapter 439, Hawaii Revised Statutes and with instructor approval.

Program (Department) Goals/Occupations for which this program prepares students

The primary goal of the Cosmetology department is to prepare the student for the license exam

in the category of their chosen educational pathway.

DEMAND INDICATORS:

According to the demand indicator number 1 and 2, the new and replacement positions (State)

& (county prorated) shows a steady declined. I looked up the data which had been reported by

the department of labor.

The statics on the spread sheet are corrected by the positions that are reported to the state

employment agencies. However, the cosmetology field or industry find their employees by

word of mouth and through the vendors or distributors, or contacting the schools directly. This

static will not be accurate, the only way to get a fairly accurate number would be by tracking

the students once they have left the program.

Of course this would be extremely time consuming and labor intensive.

Indicator number 3 is a system number and not necessarily an accurate program number, due

to some majors may change after taking the perquisite courses and/or some of the students

that have taken the courses as an un-declared major. Therefore, the number may not reflect

the student count which sits in the classroom or the major courses.

Indicator number 3a is a system number and is used for statics.

Indicator number 3b is quite alarming, due to the fact that our first, second and third semester

cosmetology students are required to take sixteen credits (16) which is full time.

The first, second and third semester students are also in the program for fourth classroom

hours a week.

The Esthetician students take 10 credits, and are in the classroom for twenty hours a week.

Indicator number 3c, the only students that are considered part-time are the esthetics students

in which they are required to register for 10 credits per semester for two semesters. The

cosmetology 50V students are cosmetology student who did not complete the State Board

Requirements and therefor need just a few more clock hours in subject areas to complete. The

cosmetology 50V student count is rarely more than five per semester. Therefore, the number

will always fluctuate from semester to semester.

Indicator number 3d; Fall part-time who are full -time in system are the students that are taking

the general education requirements for a degree or classes of interest.

Indicator numbers 3e, 3f and 3g are the same as above, the cosmetology program intakes new

students every semester.

Indicator number 4,5 and 6, This number will vary from year to year. The variation is due to the

licensing requirements of; 1800 clock hours for cosmetology and 600 clock hours for the

estheticians. Some of the students may not complete the required number of hours in the

three semester education pathway (cosmetology) or the two semester education pathway

(esthetician) and therefore, will need to take additional courses to complete the licensure pre-

qualifiers.

Indicator number 7, is also inaccurate number based on the system number of a thirty student

class ceiling. The cosmetology program has a class ceiling of twenty-five students in accordance

with the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs State of Hawaii, Hawaii

Administrative Rules; Title 16, Chapter 78, Cosmetology; section 16-78-54

The Esthetics program ceiling is sixteen (16) due to equipment and lab space.

“Instructor-student ratio. The instructor-student ratio shall be one instructor for every twenty-

five students. A school shall have a minimum of two licensed instructors, which may include

the principal, provide the principal is a licensed instructor.”

Indicator number 14 in the report is accurate on the number of classes taught by the program.

The esthetics program (educational pathway or option) was not offered for two years, this was

to do some instructional material revisions and to build up enrollment. The program did this

voluntarily for the changing demands of the industry and the educational pathway to licensure.

Indicators 9-15 in the efficiency indicators are pretty accurate, however indicator 16 is not

correct according to the cosmetology department records.

In the academic year fall 2011-spring 2012 the number of low enrolled classes (less than 10)

where; limited to two, cosmetology 50V. Three (3) students in COSM 50V for fall 2011 and

Three (3) students in COSM 50V for the spring 2012 semesters. I don’t think that COSM 93V

which is Cooperative Education is counted since it would be for both semesters in that case the

number of low-enrolled classes would still be incorrect and the count would then be four (4).

In spring 2012 the course COSM 80V had one student. One student is the cap for this courses.

In accordance with the HRS (Hawaii Revised Statues) and the HAR (Hawaii Administrative Rules)

In the academic year fall 2012-spring 2013 the number of low enrolled classes (less than 10)

where listed as 10; The only way the count could possibly be ten; The COSM 93V was counted

for two (Fall and Spring) with no students who applied for the courses during this academic

year. (2) the two cosmetology 50V. Two (2) students in COSM 50V in the fall 2012 and One (1)

student in COSM 50V in the spring 2013 and esthetician classes; (1) COSM 60; Eight (8)

students, (1) COSM 61L Eight (8) students in the fall 2012 and (1) COSM 70 Seven (7) students

and (1) COSM 71L Seven (7) students. Plus, the (2) two COSM 80V courses in which the cap on

the COSM 80V course is one student which would make up ten course. Whoever being that the

COSM 80V cap is one student it should not be counted as low-enrolled. So even with COSM 93V

with “no” enrollment, the count should be eight (8).

In the academic year fall 2013-spring 2014 the number of low enrolled classes (less than 10) is

correct limited to six, two cosmetology 50V. COSM 50V One (1) in fall 2013 and COSM 50V Six

(6) students in spring 2014 and esthetician classes; COSM 60 Ten (10) students, COSM 61L Ten

(10) students in fall 2013, COSM 70 Eight (8) students and COSM 71L Eight (8) students.

In the academic year fall 2014-spring 2015 the number of low enrolled classes (less than 10) is

correct with the number of two (2) cosmetology 50V Four (4) students in the fall 2013 and in

the spring cosmetology 50V Five (5) students. The Cosmetology 50V courses will never fill due

to a course designed for the students to finish up State Board Requirements that they might

have missed during their program.

Indicator 17; all Cosmetology students who complete courses with the COSM alpha must pass

each course with a 76% or “C” or better in order to advance to the next program course.

However, the support courses are part of the general education core requirements for the

associate in applied science degree and the student may pass with a “D”. I do not feel that

calculating the support courses in with the Cosmetology program for successful completion of

the program gives a true picture of the cosmetology program. The Cosmetology program has

maintained this standard for over forty (40) years.

Indicator 19a; The Cosmetology program intakes a new class every semester. To complete the

certificate program, the course work is three semesters. Example; enter in the Fall of 2016,

Indicator 32; The Cosmetology Department doesn’t have a formal student placement or job placement

component in place, however the salons and / or the salon owners will post career opportunities on the

bulletin boards in the department. On occasion a Salon Owner will ask if they can speak to a class about

their salon and the opportunities they have to offered.

We have been leading our students to employment

Indicator 33 and 34; The cosmetology field is not to appealing to the nontraditional participants, due to

the nature of the field and that it is predominately a female career choice, the nontraditional participant

often feels uncomfortable with some of the field applications and or skills needed for the licensure. The

nontraditional participant who has entered the field of cosmetology can/has become quite successful

business owners.

Part IV. Analysis of the Program

One of the major strengths of the Cosmetology program is the flexibility in the educational

pathway or to meet the needs of the student educational goals, by offering certificate and/or

degree programs in the Cosmetology Department.

The Cosmetology program offers the students a Certificate of Achievement or may earn an

Associate in Applied Science Degree. Cosmetology is part of an international membership

school system that teaches techniques known as the Pivot Point International Training System.

Pivot Point developed its own training method which use art, science, math and reasoning in a

interactive teaching lab as a foundation for the students. The method is broken down into four

phases; Readiness, Delivery, Performance and Transfer for the learner. The system or method

of training for the practical application is systematic, when applied will produce predicable

results. This form of training completely revolutionized hair and beauty education. Using the

methodologies of the Pivot Point system offers students the highest degree of manipulative

skills and theory which meet and in some areas exceeds the industry standards and

requirements of the State Board of Barbering and Cosmetology.

The training in the Cosmetology program starts in the first semester with a theory lecture

explaining the “What, Where and Whys” of a topic or procedure followed by a demonstration

done by the faculty member. The next phase of training will include the students preforming

the procedure on manikins or each other in the first semester of training. The second and third

semester students have a theory lecture class first, followed by either a closed class session or a

clinical practicum in which the public may participate. This part of the training would represent

salon skills and “the real-world experience”.

The certificate of achievement educational pathway for Cosmetology, is three semesters.

In the first semester the courses are; COSM 20, COSM 21L and FAMR 296 the students carry a

16 credit load.

Final Exam 30% F 00- 67%

The 50V course is to give the students the opportunity to finish up the minimum required clock

hours in the categories the students are deficient in. The main cause of the deficiency is

absenteeism in prior COSM courses.

For years the Cosmetology program has allowed the student to earn 75 hours per credit. This

was calculated over thirty years ago with the ideal that the student would be here five days a

week X fifteen weeks = 75 hours, and make the 75 hours 1 credit, which is not in alignment with

Part V. Curriculum Revision and Review:

The Cosmetology Department reviews the curriculum each year, and consider the industry

input and in what direction the industry is going.

The Cosmetology Department also has the task of working with student semester hours vs.

clock hours. This can be overwhelming at times. The students register for 16 credits for a

semester and is in class for forty hours a week.

The student is not recognized for the amount of time they spend in the classroom.

The Cosmetology Department is trying to revise the curriculum to have the required amount of

time more transparent to the students and the community.

The program SLO’s and course SLO’s will need to be revised for transparency, and to have

measurable results from course to course.

Part VI. Survey results:

The department has not made or created any surveys, as one was not requested or required.

Only informal inquires have been done.

For occupational placement in jobs, it has been primarily “word of mouth” and salon owners,

vendors and manufactures have required at the department for recent graduates.

The reputation of Honolulu Community College Cosmetology is very strong with the industry,

the many salon owners have mentioned they only would like to hire “HCC” students due to the

quality of the skills and knowledge the student have when they graduate from the program.

Part VII.

Areas of Strengths:

The program has embedded thermal styling techniques in all cosmetology lab courses as the

result of the advisory committees’ recommendation.

The department has been working with and have invited the vendors to be class speakers on

the importance of product recommendation and retail sales techniques.

The strength of the Cosmetology Program is; The dedication of the departments faculty and the

ongoing support with annual professional development training on teaching methods with the

educational partnerships; pivot-point international for the Cosmetology program and the

International Derma Institute for the Esthetics. This training is mandatory for the partnership

agreements.

The Cosmetology instructors rotate into the different levels and courses, each instructor can

break down methods and theories to train the beginner to the more complex methods and

science and medical vocabulary for the advanced student who are getting ready to take the

license exam. The lecturers can go to any faculty member for advice on any level of training

and know it is sound counsel from first-hand experience.

The since of responsibility, integrity and commitment of the cosmetology faculty is what has

built a strong reputation of the cosmetology department in the community.

Areas of weaknesses:

One of the weakness of the Cosmetology Program that has been identified by the faculty is the

retention of the students.

The areas the department will be considering is; Program expectations clarified to the students

during student recruiting and/or orientation. Sometimes the students’ expectations are not in

alinement with the programs expectations. The students have often expressed the desire to

only learn how to apply facial makeup to themselves and improve their own appearance,

similar to a finishing school and not learning the art and science of cosmetology as a profession.

Or the student only wants to be a Makeup Artist, therefore only wants to learn to do makeup.

Unfortunately, the State of Hawaii, Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs does not

have a Makeup Artist license. Only a license Cosmetologist or license Esthetician may work as a

Makeup Artist for compensation for their skills.

The other is the cost of the Books and Tool kit. This cost is currently at $2,400.00 per student

and must be purchased on the first day of the semester. The department has had one student

withdraw and as many as five due to the cost of the books and tools kit. The department will

be looking for some type of solution to help some of the students who cannot get their books

or tool kit due to cost factor.

The area weakness for the Cosmetology Program is the increase in the use of technology in the

cosmetology industry. The Cosmetology industry are using more computers and hand held

devices for scheduling clients, keeping client records and tracking services and product

recommendation. The management software will also handle salons accounting, inventory and

employee scheduling and electronic version of the SDS (safety data sheets) which is a federal

requirement.

The equipment in the Cosmetology labs; The hydraulic styling chairs are over twenty-five years

old and the workstations are forty years old. It is the hydraulic styling chairs that pose the

current safety issues, due to the hydraulic fluid leaking onto the floor surface and causing the

floor to be extremely slippery.

Part VIII. Action Plan:

1. The cosmetology department will be reviewing the programs mission statement,

description and student learning outcomes and making changes where needed.

2. Course descriptions up dated and student learning outcomes where it is appropriate.

3. Create a tracking method for students who have completed the program (s) and have

taken the state board licensure exam.

4. Continue to do recruitment efforts for the program (s).

5. Monitor equipment for repair or replacement.

a. The hydraulic styling chairs need to be replaced.

6. Do research on software for salon management used in the salons currently.

a. Salons are using a computer and salon management software to;

i. Schedule appointments

ii. Keep track of client records

iii. Track services

iv. Track retail sales

v. Keep track of work schedules

7. Review faculty workload and at the same time insure the students receive high

educational standards and the minimum of six hundred clock hours per semester for the

cosmetology students and a minimum of three hundred clock hours per semester for

the esthetician students.

Part IX. Resource and Budget Implications:

I have submitted a budget request to have the hydraulic styling chairs replaced. The

replacement of the chairs is imperative due to the Hawaii Administrative Rules; Title 16;

Chapter 78, Cosmetology 16-78-58 Equipment.

(a) The school shall maintain at least the following minimum equipment for each twenty-

five students enrolled: ….

(b) The requirement of subsection (a) shall be standard beauty equipment and maintained

in good working condition.

With the faculty workload issue, the department will need another faculty member to join the

program. Right now, the departments faculty will be receiving overload.

The students in the cosmetology program attends three semesters, forty hours a week to

receive the minimum 1800 clock hours required by the state law for the licensure exam

cosmetology 2011 2016 comprehensive program...
