• Hello,
  I currently live in California and relocating to Utah in the summer. I have a question regarding the hours do I have to go back to school to finish the extra 400 hours that Utah needs to get my license transfered to Utah? Please reply. Thank you, Renee M. Waite

• Hi Renee,
  If you have work history almost all states will give credit for the hours you have worked. You would have to have those work years verified and sent to the state you are moving to. Utah says to “Contact your current state licensing agency and request a verification of license be sent to the state of Utah. Download the application from the Cosmetology/Barbering web page, complete the application and submit it for review and processing with the required fees. Applicants must meet the educational or the experience requirement. ”

  Pay attention to section C you need to have at least 4,000 full time working hours if not then you would probably be required to do the hours.

• Hi Lori,
  Schools are required to record your hours and send them to the state board so depending on whether your hours are still good depends on the state you reside in. You need to contact your state board or the school you attended and ask them how to proceed. If you have a transcript of the hours completed that will be very helpful and your new school can work all of that out for you.

  Not all schools are diligent in record keeping, but it is required by law however records and transcripts do get lost so hopefully it will work out for you.

• I did not pass my Ohio State Baord of Cosmetology exam in 1999, and in 2001 I was told I have no hrs ,so I went back to school ,and my school closed for alot of reasons . My ? is should I stil be able to retake the baord exam or maybe have some hrs?

• Hi Ebonie,
  If you took it the first time you should be able to redo the parts you failed and the state board should already have your hours and test scores so I don’t understand why they would say you have no hours. Your school has to send a record of your hours and from this portion of the Ohio Admin Code if you failed 3 times you would need 75 hours more. Get in touch with your state board and get this cleared up.

  (E) Cosmetologists who fail the test for the third time will be required to take seventy-five hours additional instruction in theory, rules, sanitation, etc. If they fail the written section and seventy-five hours in cosmetology clinic if they failed the practical. These hours may be met through an equivalent credit hour course.

• trying to see if anyone can tell me how to find hours that were received in 1985. Test was taken but not passed for license at the time it was called State Board(Texas). Tdlr cannot find any records on me nor any of my hours. Hopefully you can help. I have contacted my high school and they can”t find the records.

• Ja,
  Records often get lost and if you don’t have a transcript and they have lost them, then I’m trully sorry there really isn’t anything I can suggest.

• Hello, On 01/31/07 I sent my renewal info and check to State Board to renew my license. I had not received the renewal form they usually send, because of moving. So in error I sent a check for $60 when it was only $45. State Board returned everything to me with a letter saying I now owe $90 because I didn’t send the correct amount a $45 late fee. For what ever reason I never followed up and I need my license. Do I renew this year as normal and included last times $90 and ce hours or is there something else I need to do?

• This will be my first year renewing my license. I’ve been told you can do it online. I have since moved and have not received my reservation number. How do I go about changing my address and renewing my license?

• I live in California. I let my manicuring license expire a number of years ago because I was no longer doing nails and didn’t think I ever would again. Circumstances have changed, and in looking into renewing my license I’ve learned that it was cancelled. To replace it I have to retake the written and the practical tests, and may have to go back to cosmetology school. Do you know how many hours I will need to go for, if I do have to go? Is there any way to avoid this?

• I & my sister have CA cosmetology &manicurist license. We’ll move to New Jersey next month. Will we have to repeat training or take a test for New Jersey license? Are our CA licenses reciprocal?

• I have a NY cosmetology license. According to the state I need another 200 hours in order to obtain a NJ cosmetology license. However, yesterday I met with the admissions rep told me in order to do my 200 hours I needed to pass the written and practical state test BEFORE I take my 200 hours. I took it today and of couse didn’t pass the 150 written test because I had no time to study and took the NY state board over a year ago. Why would I have to take a test before I even take the extra 200 hours…..? I am going to have to pass the state board at the end of the 200 hours anyway? PLEASE HELP!!!!!

• Nataliia,
  You would be better off sending your question to askconsumeraffairs@dca.lps.state.nj.us because I don’t have an answer for you. Rules and regulations change constantly so go directly to the source. NJ requires a barber/cosmetology license combined that’s why I would imagine you need the extra hours, but I don’t know why they require testing before you even start, sorry I can’t help.

• Thank you Jude8753. I sent an email to that address this morning. Waiting to hear….

  Has anyone out there ever have a NY cosmetology license and then went to NJ to work? Please, if you did this can you please tell me how? Nobody knows anything and I just spent $150 on a test that I don’t even think I need and I can’t spend the $2200 for 200 hours until someone can tell me what to do!!!!

  Nat
