How long does it take to become a hair stylist?

Anyone know how long it takes to become a hair stylist? What are the classes like? Do you need to be someone who is naturally good at doing hair or can they teach you everything you need to know? thanksHow long does it take to become a hair stylist?
each state has it's own requirement for hours of training to become a graduate cosmetologist. a cosmetologist is proficient in hair, nails, make up, skin care, etc. after cosmetology school, (took me about a year). if you want to specialize in any of the above areas, or become an instructor in any area of cosmetology, that will require another specific number of hours of training to complete.





a good instructor can teach you all you need to know to become an excellent hair stylist, colorist, and manicurist. a natural ability can help too. that, plus really enjoying/liking to do that sort of thing.





each state requires a license to practice cosmetology. to recieve a license, you must pass a state board test in all areas of cosmetology.





i went to cosmetology school in colorado and that state has one of the highest number of hours required (or did have when i went), ((i have since moved to a state requiring less hours, so the license was recripocal from colorado to the state i moved to)) for a general cosmetology license.





hope this helps.





check with a cosmetology school in your area to learn the hour requirements and a general idea of how long it takes to complete.How long does it take to become a hair stylist?
It usually takes up to a year, But it depends on the state hours, I know Texas and Maine is 1500...You spend 7(in maine.) weeks in Freshmen class learning the basics(Coloring, Cutting, perming..Etc.) and studying Anatomy....After the weeks are up, You are allowed to go out on the floor and work on real live people, But you will still have to go to class, While out on the floor, Not only do you work on people, You also work on your manniquein head...That is what the cosmetology school is there for, You don't need to know everything, They will teach you what you need to learn to pass boards.
