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,
Spring 2017 and finish in Fall 2017 or enter in Spring 2017, Fall 2017 and finish Spring 2018. The
numbers will be different depending on what semester the students enter the program in.
The Cosmetology majors may take a four semester to finish the general education
requirements for the Associate in Applied Science degree. In order for the number to be “0” the
program would not take in any new students during the fall semester, and therefore; not have
anyone complete the program the following semester.
The Esthetics program is a certificate program of two semesters. Enter in the fall semester and
finish in the spring. Note: This program was not offered during the academic year 2015-2016.
Indicator 20c; No advanced Professional Certificates Awarded at this time within the University
of Hawaii system.
Indicator 21; the number or percentile listed is done by looking up each graduate student on
the DCCA website for that year’s number of students that had successfully completed.

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

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.

student will need a minimum of 76% to pass and complete the course.
Grading Plan: Grade Table
Exams 20% A 93-100%
On-line LAB assignments 20% B 85-92 %
Passport 15% C 76- 84 %
Attendance 15% D 68- 75 %
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
any community college credit definition. (This will be course to revise)
1 Credit = 2 practice exams*, 2 on-line LAB assignments, 1 monthly passport and a final exam.
2 Credit = 3 practice exams*, 4 on-line LAB assignments, 1 monthly passport and a final exam.
3 Credit = 4 practice exams*, 6 on-line LAB assignments, 2 monthly passports and a final exam.
4 Credit = 5 practice exams*, 8 on-line LAB assignments, 2 monthly passports and a final exam.
5 Credit = 6 practice exams*,10 on-line LAB assignments, 3 monthly passports, and a final exam
6 Credit = 7 practice exams*,12 on-line LAB assignments, 3 monthly passports and a final exam.
*Practice exams can be a combination of department practice exams and online
practice exams: Unit 1, Unit 2, Unit 3 or the final exam in the EXAM Ace.
Because the course description is that of a lecture/ lab (Theory and Practice) the hours should
be: 2 Credits = 60 hours (1 credit of lecture = 15 hours, + 1 credit of lab = 45 hours).

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
