In order to get a hair license, you need to fulfill several requirements. First, you will need to complete a course of study in cosmetology, as well as any additional required courses in hair-styling, haircuts, and hair color techniques. Then, you'll need to pass the necessary exams to become certified. Then, you'll need to find a licensed cosmetology school in your area. Once enrolled, you'll need to complete the program of study and the necessary exams to obtain your license.
Good luck

Google your state license requirements. Complete them fully and apply. I would expect everyone that fulfills those obligations is granted a license. Thereafter, you seek employment or go into business for yourself.

Hi Shonmirka,
One needs to earn a high school degree or a general educational development (GED) before pursuing Cosmetology school. Cosmetology school is around 12 months at a private beauty school. At these schools, a number of hours are required to complete. According to the American Association of Cosmetology Schools (AACS), the national average of required hours is between 1,400 to 1,600 to depending on the state where the school is located.
An associates degree can be earned at a community or technical college. This will take two years to accomplish. In either scenario at a private beauty school or at a community or technical college, there are costs involved for the programs, hands on training, etc. Cosmetology costs can be up to $20,000+ for tuition, books, fees, supplies, etc.
When considering a cosmetology program, several things need to be researched:
- The cosmetology program is state approved, especially for licensing.
- Program reviews will need to be considered from alumni and current students.
- Programs are checked for high rates for graduation.
- Career placement after graduation
- Financial assistance for the cosmetology program
- Hands-On Training and Apprenticeship Programs
- Continuing education opportunities after graduation
Hope this information helps and best wishes for your career in cosmetology as a hair stylist!
