Central Piedmont Community College Cosmetology Department is home to Explorer Post #1609. Exploring is a subsidiary of the Boy Scouts of America, and is a coeducational career exploration program. Students are invited to participate in this program and work with cosmetologists and assistants to learn about what a career is like in cosmetology. There will be a once a month meeting for the students, and a schedule will be distributed at our Firstnighter.

Our Firstnighter will be on October 04th from 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM. It will take place at our facility located at 1609 Alleghany Street , Charlotte, NC 28208. There you will learn more about what this program is about, how it works, and register. This program is only available to the first 15 people that register, so there will be those unable to participate. If you do make it on the list, please take this program seriously and plan to attend. It will cost $60.00 to register and cash, check, and credit/debits cards are accepted. Checks are to be made payable to 'BSA.'

The first meeting is MANDATORY, and those that register and do not attend will forfeit their spot to the next person on the waiting list.

Meeting dates for the program are as follows:

October 4th: introduction to Cosmetology Careers (Catherine Cunningham)

November 8th: Hair Color Techniques ( Angela Wyatt)

February 7th: Long Hair Design ( Javaughn Rendleman)

March 7th: Aromatherapy, Hot Stones, Paraffin (Trina Davis)
