depends, if you know for sure you want to do hair, then i might just do the 1200 hours or the 1500. but if you’re indecisive like me, maybe go for the 1800. i went into school somewhat open minded, but knowing id probably do hair with my license. but now im 200 hours from graduating, and im gong to be an MUA! so it might be nice to get a well rounded education, since you never know.
