Comment Period | Ended on 10/12/2022 |
The training hours to obtain a license in cosmetology needs to remain at 1500 hours. Currently students and graduates have consistently given feedback verbally, and shown in their lack of proficiency in their knowledge and practical skill set that they are not prepared to work in the industry. Lowering the initial training hours will make this current problem even worse. Future cosmetology professionals who are not adequately trained hurts not only the industry but most of all the general public.
