[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Head's Up. Corporate salons are lobbying in Virginia to get the number of hours required to get a license reduced from 1500 to 1000 for Cosmetologists and 1100 to 1000 for Barbers. Barbers have already had their hours reduced recently.

It's hard enough to find competent stylists, reducing the amount of training by 33% for someone who is mixing chemicals for you hair seems like a bad idea for both the professionals and the public. Safety and sanitation are important, not to mention diseases of the hair, skin, and nails they should be able to recognize so as to not inadvertently hurt anyone or spread diseases.

No one is graduating from cosmetology school thinking they have too much education.

1,000 is basically 20 hours of training a week for a year.  That’s a lot of training.[/quote]

Beauty school is a commitment.  It’s a year full-time or two years part-time and about $40,000 for tuition, books and supplies. [/quote]

That's a racket. Cosmetologists are going to have a hard time paying off a loan that size at their salaries.[/quote]

Not "are going to." Actually do.

It is a terrible racket.[/quote]
