Ashley asked: ummm…my question is I am currently a student in Ca and when I graduate I would have my hours for CA, but I want to apply to Hawaii and work there, would I be able to transfer and make up the extra hours I need for a Hawaii license and retake the state board test?
Answer: This is what I found on their site, but it says another jurisdiction and not state so I would advise you to read the document and then email( barber_cosm@dcca.hawaii.gov ) them to make sure of everything required.
Beauty operator applicants shall have an education equivalent to the completion of high school. One year experience as a licensed beauty operator in another jurisdiction shall satisfy the high school education requirement.
(c)
Beauty operator applicants shall satisfy the beauty training requirement as a student at a beauty school, as an apprentice in a beauty shop, or being currently licensed in another jurisdiction.
(1)
Beauty training from another jurisdiction shall be accepted provided that the training is substantially equivalent to those as prescribed by the board. If the training is less than those prescribed by the board, then the applicant shall make up the difference as a beauty student or as an apprentice; or
(2)
The license of an applicant currently licensed in another jurisdiction shall be recognized provided that the jurisdiction has substantially equivalent training as prescribed by the board. If the training requirement is less than those prescribed by the board, then the applicant shall make up the difference as a beauty student or provide verification of one year experience as a licensed beauty operator in that jurisdiction.

This is a much better pdf to read from Hawaii and it tells out of state applicants what to do.
