How many hours are required to complete a full course in barbering?

To practice as a barber in Nevada, an individual must complete a full course of study that encompasses a specific number of training hours. The correct requirement is 1,500 hours of instruction and practical experience. This duration ensures that students gain comprehensive knowledge and hands-on skills in various aspects of barbering, including cutting hair, shaving, and other grooming techniques, as well as understanding safety, sanitation, and business practices essential for operating in this field.

While other options present higher hour counts, these exceed the established requirements set forth by the Nevada State Board of Cosmetology. The focus of the 1,500-hour program is to adequately prepare aspiring barbers with the competence and knowledge necessary to serve clients safely and effectively while meeting state licensure standards.
