I began earning my cosmetology license when I was in my junior year of high school. I finished my licensure in my senior year of high school, and was able to find a career at a local hair salon. Yet, I do not feel I was trained enough, even with the 1,500 hour minimum, especially with chemical processes! Please do not add stress on educators/staff who are still being burden by COVID. Please keep the number of hours the same for cosmetology at least!
