Rule 1.2 requires 50 credit hours or 1,500 contact hours, earned at an approved school or through a US DOL or state-approved apprenticeship (no separate apprenticeship hour figure); C.R.S. 12-105-111 caps the requirement at that level and sets age 16, and 12-105-107 requires written and practical exams. Colorado has a director-run office rather than a board; hours from another license type can be credited, but no fixed cosmetologist crossover is set.
