But I do know there are good schools too. A paul mitchell school opened in our area two years ago and is getting rave reviews so i only want to say we should all be careful when we critisize. I do agree that we owners need to invest in who we hire if we expect them to be loyal and grow.

They teach nothing.The only way to learn is to do it.confidence is the answer. Salon stylists are so competitive with one another that they feel that if they would teach a beginner they would lose money. The owners need to spend some money to hire others to come in and teach.I learned on my own,and helped others to learn . This made me a much better stylist in the long run.

And the state has so few inspectors its a joke. As bad as schools can be, turning over education to salons would make a bad situation much worse.

Schools can teach what they are good at - the book learning. Let apprentices then learn on the job before going back to the state to take their final exam. We require all who go to work for us (with a licence) to apprentice for 9 months- we have no choice if we are to maintain quality. I am not against schools at all - just need to have shorter programs I’d like to see students go to school for theory hours, take their state board written exam and be approved to then work in salons as an apprentice for one year before they then become licenced.

States should only be concerned about public safety it is up to the public to decide if someone knows how to cut and style hair not the state or the regulatory agency. Oregon has 1700 hours. Iowa, Nebraska, and South Dakota have 2100 hours for Cosmetology. This is such an important issue.

So a few hours one way or the other is hardly going to make a difference. It amazes me how many people have done hair for years and still can’t do hair.
