Reducing training hours
 

As  a  licensed nail tech I would’ve lost money if someone had bet me  that the word anus was in my nail tech study guide because I would’ve been wrong having to have learned the 10 systems of the body in order to be licensed it is definitely part of the digestive system . At the time I thought it was silly and not going to make me a better nail tech but 30 years later I realized that it actually probably did make me a better nail tech and more aware of my clients and how important it is to keep their safety in mind when you’re working on them cosmetology has a much broader spectrum and they need to be very very careful using all the chemicals so reducing their training hours to 1000 is absolutely absurd reducing the training by 2000 hours would be tricky enough I say leave it as is and let people get all the training they can get thank you for your consideration.
