    State Law requires students to have a social security number in order to track their cosmetology hours.  Students will not receive hours until that number is registered with our department.  The State Board of Cosmetology also requires a complete cosmetology kit, uniform and books every day in order to receive credit for the clock hours necessary for state licensing.

You may pay your invoice now via the instructions on the invoice or in the PowerSchool Information Registration System that will open in August. All payments are made to MBIT. If paying by credit card, please fill out the invoice with your credit card information and email or US Mail to MBIT or you may call us to process your credit card payment at 215-343-2480. Student kits will not be purchased until a payment of some type is made.

     

    Please be sure to acquire the items listed below before the start of school:

    1. Cosmetology kit, textbook, workbooks and CIMA online program – pay enclosed invoice

    2. A 3-inch ‘D’ ring binder with number (1-31) dividers & loose-leaf paper

    3. Highlighters, pens and pencils

    4. Closed toed shoes only, no slippers or knitted shoes (open-toe and backless shoes are unacceptable)

    In Level 300, we will cover Advanced Haircutting and Haircoloring as well as Male Haircutting and beard trimming.  Several students have expressed an interest in purchasing a male mannequin (approximately $75), a quad mannequin (approximately $45) for coloring or a new female mannequin (approximately $60).  This is optional.  (NOTE: If your student has a mannequin that is very short, I suggest that they purchase another female mannequin and use their short mannequin for the men’s cuts.)
