Cosmetology School Information

Before becoming a professional hairstylist or other beauty pro, it is imperative that you attend cosmetology school to get the proper training required to get licensed. All 50 states plus Washington D.C. require you to meet a minimum number of training hours at a cosmetology school in order to take the licensing exam and get your cosmetology license. So step one in that process is finding the right cosmetology school for you.

When choosing a school, there is certain information about cosmetology schools you should gather in order to make an educated decision. Here are a few questions to ask the cosmetology schools you contact before making a decision:

- Do you offer a comprehensive cosmetology program?
- Do you offer full-time or part-time cosmetology classes?
- How long does it take to complete the cosmetology program?
- Check out How to Choose a Beauty School for a complete list of questions to ask cosmetology admissions representatives.

Collecting all the cosmetology school information you can up front will help you make an educated decision about which school is right for you.
