Firstly I believe that as a student 1500 hours sounds like a long time, however all fo those hours go into training us and making sure that we are successfully prepared for entering the professional world. Secondly, changing the curriculum to include more estition type services and decrease our cosmetology services would be a huge detriment to our education. Students need as much time and training working with the hair section of our field as possible because most of us plan to go that rout after graduation. I honestly wished we would have even more time with live guests to get a feel for how it will be like in the industry. I've seen first hand stylists who have just graduated and still need more training on live guests because they didn't have enough in cosmetology school. Therefore I am strongly against the change in hours and curriculum for cosmetology school
