My Life as an Esthetician: What are the License Requirements for ...

License requirements for being an esthetician vary from state to state. This is why this question is so hard to answer and why there isn't one place on the internet to go for this type of information. There are however some standard "Must Dos" that all states will require before issuing an esthetician license. They include:
  • Attending a licensed school
  • Completing the state's minimum number of training hours
  • Having to pass a licensing exam that's issued by the state

I recently stumbled upon a valuable link, thanks to Beauty Schools Directory:

Cosmetology License Requirements by State

This link is the closest thing I have found to a one-stop-shop for all information regarding licensing requirements for each state. This link has a searchable field that will help you find licensed schools in your area. It also provides licensing information for all 50 states in the country. Each state is listed alphabetically. Once you click on a state, you'll be directed to a page that lists all of the licensing requirements and required hours for a cosmetologist, barber, nail technician and esthetician for that state. There's also information listed about how to renew your license within the state and reciprocity. If you have ever wanted to transfer your license from one state to another, this would be considered reciprocity.

One thing to keep in mind is that continuing education classes are not always required by each state to maintain your license. It's always a good idea to invest in continuing education, even if its not license requirement. Continuing educations helps:

  • Keep you inspired
  • Educate you on new industry trends and technology
  • Put you one step ahead of competitors that don't invest in continuing education
  • Provide a great way to network with other industry professionals

Be sure to check out this nifty Beauty Schools Directory link. Contact information for each State Board of Cosmetology is also provided in case you have questions that might not be easily answered from the information that's provided here.

If you're thinking about going to beauty school, you'll want to bookmark this link. This is a quick reference for any licensing questions you might have.
