I know if is probabily normal that my hands are peeling, but are they going to become callouses? How long did it take you climbers to get callouses?

Are you climbing in a gym?
If you are pulling plastic then you can usually help yourself just by putting on some lotion before you leave the gym after a day of climbing.
If you are climbing outside then look into a product called Hoof Maker they sell it at equine and tack stores. Its designed to make horse hoofs stronger and works quite well for human hands also.

It took me about a month of 3 days per week climbing to get the tough fingers.
