How old were you when you started in the nail/beauty industry?

I began when I was seventeen and have been doing this since 1987. When I became licensed, you had to attend 150 hours of school to be able to qualify for the state board test. Now the hours are 600. So it has been really interesting to read about how techs in different countries qualify to work. We now have continuing education courses that must be completed to renew your license. Four hours sanitation, eight hours coursework in our field. This is every 2 years. Does the UK have this too? just curious.:green:
