Education Required to Become a Barber. High school diplomas or GEDs are often the bare minimum for Barbers to have. Extra training through a Barber school or cosmetology school is recommended. Barbering programs normally last for a 9-month period, sometimes providing an associate's degree to the student. These programs start with the basics of hair care and equipment maintenance then go on to complex tasks like hair dyeing.
According to the American Urological Association, the time to pass stones located in ureters -- tubes leading from the kidneys to the bladder -- is an average of 8 days for stones less than 2 mm, 12 days for stones between 2 and 4 mm and 22 days for stones between 4 and 6 mm.
Most kidney stones that pass on their own do so by 40 days. Medications called antispasmodics may be prescribed to help a stone pass. They relax the ureters, which can increase the likelihood of passing a stone and speed up passage by 5 to 7 days, according to an article in the December 2011 issue of the âAmerican Family Physician.â
