Each state is different. Check your area for cosmetology schools. If you go full time, my guess is that it shouldn't take more than a year to complete. You don't have to go to a regular college, but depending on your state's requirements, you may have to have completed a certain grade or have a ged or high school diploma. It is up to you if you want to take a job as an assistant after you graduate beauty school. You can go right into a salon without being an assistant if you want...but assisting is not a bad choice either. You will gain a lot of experience and perfect your skills that way. Good luck! Cosmetology is a fun career!How long does it take to become a hair stylist?
depends on what state you live in. i live in ohio and it takes 1500 hours. for my managers license its another 300 hours. So technically 1800. you'll have to look it up for your state.
