As a part time Cosmetology Student, I feel that the hours should not be reduced from 1500 to 1000. It is necessary for each student to be properly trained on procedures , how to safely execute chemical services, cutting, infection control, salon business and how to handle electric instruments. If I were a customer, I would be concerned about my stylist having the proper training to execute the salon services requested.
While there is a great need for additional cosmetologists in the field, competency should be the focus as opposed to producing a revolving door of improperly trained students through various cosmetology schools. Those improperly trained students will then be serving the public. This puts salons at risk as this could be a liability issue.The reduction of the hours will not benefit the salons, stylists, consumers or the industry as a whole.
