7 Easy Steps to Renewing Your Cosmetology License

 

Cosmetologists must adhere to specific requirements to maintain their license, including continuing education credits and license renewal. Practicing without a license can lead to lawsuits, fines, and even criminal charges! Maintain your license by ensuring you renew on time, every time.

 

Steps to Renewing Your Cosmetology License

 

Renewing your cosmetology license can be done in a series of seven simple steps:

 

1. Familiarize Yourself with State Requirements - depending on your state; you may be required to renew within specific timeframes and seek specific continuing education credits. Learn your state’s requirements when making plans to renew your cosmetology license.
2. Find Approved Continuing Education Providers - ensure that the State Board approves the continuing education courses you are taking. Don’t be afraid to ask for proof!
3. Select Applicable Courses - depending on your career path; you may want to (or need to) take specific courses. Choose courses that apply to your career growth.
4. Apply for Scholarships - several scholarships are available to cosmetologists seeking to continue their education, as well as financial assistance programs.
5. Complete Coursework - finish your Coursework on time to avoid a lapse in your licensure. Pay close attention to deadlines! Practicing with an expired license can lead to fines, fees, jail time, and losing your license altogether.
6. Complete Your Renewal Application and Pay Associated Fees - finishing coursework alone isn’t enough to renew your cosmetology license! You must fill out the renewal application and pay any renewal fees to renew your license successfully.
7. Update Your Paperwork - submit your renewal paperwork to any applicable agencies, such as your insurance provider or any professional organizations to which you belong.
