Original License Fee

(1) If the fee for an original license as a cosmetologist, manicurist, natural hair stylist, aesthetician or instructor is not paid within six (6) months after the applicant is notified that he or she has passed the examination, then such applicant must submit a new application for examination and be retested. For good cause shown, this provision may be waived by the Board. (2) To activate a retired license: (a) A licensee who holds a retired license may request the Board to activate the retired license by submitting a written request to the Board, retaking and passing the practical and law portions of the examination, and submitting payment of license; (b) The Board may waive the requirement that the licensee retake and pass the practical and law portions of the examination before activating a retired license if the Board finds that the licensee’s experience and previous training are sufficient to protect the public.
