Certification, Licensing, and Special Requirements
Certification or Licensing
All states require cosmeticians to have a license to practice. Licensing usually involves a test of one's skill and knowledge, though the process, laws, and requirements vary from state to state. A few states have reciprocity agreements, which would allow licensed cosmeticians to practice in a different state without additional formal training.
