Cosmetology

Licensed Cosmetologists design and implement methodologies that evaluate a variety of attributes in both existing and emerging products.

CRL’s fully equipped, on-premise salon is supervised by a full-time staff of licensed and experienced cosmetologists. The facility is able to accommodate panels of any size for a wide variety of product evaluations.

Our expansive database enables the cosmetology department at CRL to customize each panel to precisely match the parameters of your target population.
