Reduction of hours
 

I strongly believe that this change should be in effect immediately.

I firmly believe that if you cannot comprehend everything after 1000 hours you should consider a different career. Everything is well explained within the program and easy to comprehend. I also think changing the education material is very beneficial. When I started Cosmotolgy school, I was informed I was going to be a well rounded student. We have far more specialty classes on than on skin and nails. I couldn’t tell you a thing about nails. I also believe as a cosmetologist if we can handle scissors you should be able to straight shave. Since I have started school I have realized I genuinely have a passion and am good at what I do but I do not feel as if I receive the same amount of education that I pay for. 

I think this change should pass and go into effect!
