Good evening,

As being a stylist and an instructor for years 1500 hours just gets stylists to pass theory and practical exams. Stylists still need more education when coming into the salon to become better at there craft.  Lessening the hours for students would be difficult with all material and practical work that is needed to be an industry professional.  The students already feel they don’t learn enough in 1,500 hours when leaving school.  At 1,000 hours students will feel uneducated in certain areas of the field, unconfident in their work, have more customer complaints and not to mention law suits that these stylist can’t afford to pay for.  So, lowering the cosmetology hours to 1,000 should not even be a topic of discussion.
