How Long is Cosmetology School in Ohio?
The length of a cosmetology program varies by state and by school. In Ohio, 1,500 hours of training are required to be completed in a board-approved cosmetology school, according to the Ohio State Cosmetology and Barber Board. Here’s how long you can expect to be in school if you enroll in the cosmetology program at Moler Beauty Academy.

Our cosmetology program can be completed in as little as 40 weeks. That’s approximately nine months of training and education. That means that you could be on your way to practicing cosmetology professionally in under a year! Of course, attendance will be a major player in getting your program completed on time. Being on-time and engaged for each class will set you up for success!

We offer instruction and practice on several parts of the theoretical and practical sections.
