The state of Texas requires 1000 clock hours for the cosmetology course and the Class A Barber course, 750 hours for the esthetics course, 600 hours for the manicure course. Students are expected to complete their course in no more than 143% of the program length. Students must complete the educational program within the maximum time frame, which is based on attending at least 70% of the scheduled hours. The school is required to measure and collect data on all our student who complete our programs “on time”. We define “normal time” and “on time” as having completed the program with at least 70% attendance or higher. At this time, “normal time” is also our minimum attendance requirement.

It is important to note that the MAXIMUM SCHEDULED HOURS shown is the MAXIMUM number of scheduled hours that a Future Professional can take to finish the program NO MATTER WHICH schedule they are enrolled in. Scheduled hours are NOT impacted by Suspensions or School Closings (such as additional snow days beyond what we build into the schedule already). If a Future Professional is impacted by any of these occurrences, their ACTUAL graduation calendar date will be pushed forward by the amount of time the occurrence takes place since they are “off the schedule” during those times.
When the MAXIMUM SCHEDULED HOURS are up, a Future Professional’s contract is over. If a Future Professional has not completed their ACTUAL HOURS required for graduation, they will be WITHDRAWN and required to re-enroll in the program with a new contract and costs to complete their remaining hours.
