More retakes, 500 hours after third fail

You can retake the barber exam up to two more times when the Board offers it, with no extra classes. After a third fail, you must complete 500 more hours at a barber school before testing again. You cannot log more than 10 hours of training in a day. After 250 hours, the Board may let you show skill to skip the rest. If you get that chance and still fail, you must finish the remaining 250 hours before a fifth try. The Board of Barber Examiners runs these rules.
