Becoming a Cosmetologist:

To become a licensed cosmetologist, you'll first need to complete a cosmetology program, which includes hands-on training, theory classes, and practical experience in salon settings. Graduates earn a degree or certificate, equipping them with the skills needed to pass state board exams and pursue careers in various beauty professions.

After completing the program, you can schedule your state licensing exams, consisting of a practical exam testing technical skills and a written exam on cosmetology knowledge.

Upon passing both exams, you'll receive a state cosmetology license. Licenses in Missouri must be renewed every 2 years to remain current.
