Stage | Final |
Comment Period | Ended on 7/3/2024 |
The reduction of hours from 1500 to 1000 is an extremely poor choice for cosmetology students, teachers, and salon owners. Cosmetology school is for students that want to be hairstylists, needing time to learn how to do hair and that being there focus. In order to be a successful hairstylist we need to build our clientele and experience At 1500 hours we are barely getting enough information to be able to go straight out to the workforce. This is purely a financial decision by the government in order to have more UNQUALIFIED workers in the workforce to make more money. In the long run this is again just such a horrible decision and will cause such a lack of education. And lack of educated stylists.
