Master Cosmetologist Licensing & Exam Prep

If you wish to make a living in Georgia doing hair, nails, or skincare, you must first obtain a license. The Georgia State Board of Cosmetology and Barbering is the body responsible for licensing and industry regulations. The board requires cosmetologist to obtain formal training from an apprenticeship or school as well as pass two exams. See the sections below for more information on the requirements and how to apply.

Once it comes time to study for the exam, we have everything you need to get started. We offer online exam prep designed to help you pass your test the first time, and is backed with our no pass, no pay policy. All of our courses are available from almost any device, any time.

Steps

How do I obtain a license?

To apply for your license, contact the Georgia State Board of Cosmetology & Barbering at 404-424-9966 or visit their website.

While the state of Georgia does not have any reciprocity agreements, you can still apply for a license via endorsement if you hold a license in another state. To do this, you must have all of the state boards you hold a license with send a letter of certification to the Georgia Board. You must also submit an application for licensure by endorsement along with all the required fees and documents.
