Cosmetology State Board Website List

I decided to make this a static page because so many people don’t bother to look at the links in the side bar to find what they are looking for. Below is the complete list of Cosmetology State Board websites except for Puerto Rico where you can get information about licensing, rules, regulations, requirements, and reciprocity. I hope you can find what you need, but if you have any problems don’t hesitate to ask and I will do my best to help direct you to what you need. I have tried to made sure that all links work properly.

    Dear Judy,
    Thank you so much for all this info about our licenses. I think it illustrates the need for a National Certification, instead of state by state. People move around this great country of ours and all this is expensive! Waiting is horrible because you can’t even apply for a job.

    I just graduated from high school and I took my written part of my cosmetology test, and I was wondering if there is a time limit to be able to take my practical part! I live in texas andneed to know so I dont have to take my classes over again! Thank you.

  8. Ariel says:

    I am currently in beauty school and live in Virginia. I am wondering the same thing as Kenika, does having a felony automatically disqualify you from being able to be a licensed cosmetologist? Am I even allowed to take my stateboards? Any responses will be greatly appreciated. You can e-mail me at adb0890@live.com

    Jude i have a question.. live in texas, i graduated from high school 2010 and i took my cosmetology course in high school during my junior and senior year. We were required to clock in 1000 hours and the school was goin to give us 500 hours free after finishing the 1000, because our state requires to have 1500 hours..so i was done with all my hours when i graduated. My question is can the extra 500 hours that were given to me be expired at any time? I kept failin my written test..is it too late to re take my test 2 years now that have passed?

  10. Jessica2012 says:

    By the way any reponses will be greatly appreciated, my email is garnicajessica@rocketmail.com

    Please go to the Texas website for all your information and how to contact them. The following excerpts was taken from there, please contact them. http://www.license.state.tx.us/cosmet/cosmetfaq.htm

    If you have completed the 1,500 hours of education required to become a licensed Operator and your school has submitted your hours to TDLR, you will be mailed an eligibility postcard for the Practical examination. This post card provides you with information on how to schedule for your exam. You do not need the post card in hand to schedule for your exam. You can also visit our website to review your eligibility at http://www.license.state.tx.us/CosmoDataSearch.

    19. How many times can I retake the exam? – NEW!
    The written and practical examination eligibilities do not expire. Therefore you may retake your exam until you successfully pass the examination.
