About this program
Cosmetology is an in person cosmetology program offered by GK Academy USA at GK Academy USA in Woodland Hills, CA. The reviewed source publishes 1,000 required hours, part-time.
Current course, contact, 2026 catalog, and BPPE sources support the corrected 1,000 hours, current costs, published schedules, in-person delivery, payment plans, institutional aid/accreditation disclosures, prerequisites, and licensing pathway. The course page publishes an approximate 34–52-week range depending on schedule, but does not explicitly map its endpoints to the retained aliases, so no exact week value is invented. The older 1,364-hour value is corrected. The page explicitly says no classes Friday-Sunday, so the retained weekend-discovery record is transparently relabeled rather than presenting a false weekend route. The catalog and BPPE still publish Suite 7 while the current course/contact pages publish Suite 11, and overlapping retained route identities need controlled consolidation. The catalog says classes begin every Monday, but holiday closures prevent creation of an inferred exact next date.
